converting .dvr-ms to avi

[acid4575]

ok i have a weird capture card: Emuzed EvcapMaui Device, the problem with it is that no capture software works on it i have tried: Virtual VCR, Virtual Dub, WinDVR, Dr. DivX and a few others for some reason nothing works but when i use my media center it can get the single in just fine, so i figured i can use Media Center to record live TV in an .dvr-ms format but i want to convert them into a .avi format.

Microsuck set it up that way. I have an NVTV card that like that. I bought it from the store and only media center 2005 can work it.

I was mad at first, but I figured out that most dvd authoring programs will recognize the DVR-MS (basically mpeg files with more infomation) files

"i figured i can use Media Center to record live TV in an .dvr-ms format but i want to convert them into a .avi format."

I believe a program called "Blaze Media Pro" should handle conversion of .dvr-ms to AVI.

a lot of people will be suprised about 3 things when they get MCE 2005.

1. no other program can use the capture device (win dvd creator will try it's best though)

2. it will only capture to a Microsoft file (dvr-ms).

3. when you burn a dvd for within MCE it will only burn a data dvd

this stuff misleads most people. for one most people assume that with MCE you can capture movies and burn them to dvd's that will work in a standalone players. this was the main reason I bought the stupid software

the next thing they is try to figure out a way to convert those files to mpeg or avi so they can burn dvds that work in standalones. I spent a long time trying to figure this out. I was using Isobuster to strip the files

but one day I figured out that I really don't need to convert it, because it is a fully compliant mpeg file (it has a bunch of extra stuff added in)

Ever heard Brorsoft Video Converter? I've used it to convert DVR-MS files to iTunes for playback and sharing.
