I need an application to convert .TS files to other formats, such as .MP4, .WMV etc. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good application that can do this? If it's free that is even more of a bonus.

If there isnt a good one, then it's not that much of a problem as I have conversion software on my Windows OS installed on my Mac, but it would just be good to be able to convert on the Mac OS instead.

Thanks.
 
I have had just had a lot of problems with the program. I encoded one video, which came out with really good quality, but it was sped up, by what looked like double the speed.

The .TS when dragged in also came up as "unrecognized" so that is probably not going to help with the encoding.

Can get anyone give me some advice for this?

They are .TS files. They are footage from the game Halo 3, captured by a Hauppauge HD-PVR. I would need multiple files converted a lot of the time, so its not just a single file I need converted.

EDIT: Some extra information about the clips:

They are captured at 1280x720
They are captured at 8mb/s
They are quite big files, a 10 second clip is roughly 35mb.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen people get QTPro thinking it would help them open a video file without knowing that if a standard install of QT won't open it, then QTPro won't make any difference.

To OP: what I can almost guarantee will work is the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin (costs about 20usd) in combination with MPEG Streamclip. For free options you can also try mencoder or the Streaming/Exporting wizard in VLC.

1. you never know. like u said the MPEG-2 plugin might work :p

yes handbrake is very good to convert DVD format to mpeg4, avi and mkv. but you meantioned wmv so i thought FfmegX. VisualHub used to be the best app which is shareware but is now discontinued.
