Okay, we are in business. I have the original .ts files and have created a single .vob file from those which in turn DVD2AVI created a .d2v file that TMPGEnc can recognize to covert to standard Dual Layer DVD format at 8000kbps video and 384kbps audio. It's converting as I type this and will be finished in 11 hours, and I've got a fast computer so that's a bit longer than I expected. I've also added color saturation and audio amplification. Looks 100 times better than my previous recording.

I'm excited about this!
