hey everybody! First of all, please be patient with me, as my english pretty much sucks.
Im a 2D/3D guy, and I have touched editing software such as Combustion or Adobe Premiere. I was wondering how I could edit ts files. I have downloaded the HD quality StarWars movies (12GB each) and I have no idea how I can export the frames as png's or tga's for editing. And how to import them back into the ts file.
My intention is to edit some of Star Wars scenes, for example getting rid of lightsaber shadows and adding appropiate illumination to the enviorement.

Please any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

EDIT: duh! it's a ts file not a mkv file!

Have you tried loading the MKV into VirtualDubMod? If the video is encoded with x264, you will need to install a vfw-compatible decompressor, the only one I know of is part of ffdshow.

From VDub, you can save as uncompressed AVI (or maybe TGA sequence?)

sorry! my bad, for some reason I thought the movie was a mkv file, but actually it's a ts file. Any idea how to edit those?

i'm kind of a noob in this topic. but as far as i've been able to figure out, that thread just explains how to convert the ts file from PAL to NTSC. Please correct me if i'm wrong. and thanks for the info!

Ignore the stuff about the PAL -> NTSC conversion; the main point is that if you can get the video into VirtualDub via AVISynth, then you can save it out as a sequence of TGA files for editing.

ok. I think I made some progress here. I have VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2 installed and AviSynth 2.5. I have also DirectShow, as I installed PowerDVD 7.
When I open the ts file through VirtualDubMod I select the template "DirectShowSource" and hit "Open". It freezes for a couple of seconds and then an error pops up.

"No video stream found."

Anyone got a clue? What am I doing wrong?


Thanks Moth3r, you are really helping me out here!

EDIT: Here are the specs taken from the nfo:
* Audio : Dolby 2.0 *
* Bitrate : 448 *
* CoDeC : AVC/H.264 *
* Frame Rate : 25fps *
* ReSoLuTioN : 1920x1088i *

Did you demux first to extact the raw h264 stream? (As I mentioned I found xport was useful for this, as it retained audio sync).

Before resorting to DirectShowSource(), I'd give the new DGAVCIndex/AVCSource() a try.

Hopefully it was just a minor glitch in the capture. Keep going and see what happens.
