A pretty good primer. Looking forward to the next article.
[quote]SageTV and the HD PVR encodes the incoming analog component signal to H.264 and stores the video and audio in in a mp4 container.[/quote]
I’m running SageTV and an HD-PVR and all my recordings are in .TS files and I believe they’re MPEG-2, based on [url=http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_ts_files.cfm]this article[/url]. If you use the Arcsoft software for recording, that uses M2TS or TS, but I still believe that’s MPEG-2. I do record in AC3, so perhaps the audio encoding affects the format?
