Encode .ts to wmv-hd

[ajp]

I recently got an xbox360 and want to watch some hd on it. It can only play wmv-hd files so that means I can save a .ts from OTA then convert it and watch it. But the problem comes at converting to wmv-hd, I don't really know how.

I found encode360 which is good, but doesnt de-interlace, and I can't select the final size. I also found WMNicEnc but I have no clue how to make the correct .avs script to convert a 1080i .ts to a 720p wmv-hd. Anyone out there that can help me I will give you a big kiss.

use HDTVtoMPEG2 to convert the .ts to .mpg, and then use Windows media Encoder to convert to WMV.

run the ts through dgindex, it'll demux audio and create a project file. avisynth script like so:

mpeg2source("C:\path\to\project.d2v")
assumetff()
tdeint()                 #or your preferred deinterlacer
crop(x,x,x,x)          #if needed
lanczosresize(1280,720)

you can include audio in the script with audiodub()

the encoder errors for me even after using hdtvtompeg2

Well not sure what happened but I downloaded a differant version of hdtvtoMPEG2 then used windows media encoder. Things worked out well. Only problem is I figured what I needed the bitrate to be so that it would be 4460mb's and it ended up after encoding at 3.10gb. It still looked really good but I thought selecting CBR and setting a bitrate would set the final.
