Hi! I'm new here, so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. (I can't find it in 'Search') Basically, I've recorded a film on my Humax Foxsat machine and copied it on to my memory stick as a .TS file at a little over 2 Gb. Using AVS to convert it to either .AVI or burn a DVD I can't get the projected size down to less than about 20Gb, whatever settings I nominate. The first (default?) setting I encountered suggested I'd need 27 disks to capture the file. Something's obviously very wrong, and I'm probably missing a dead obvious trick here. Is there a definitive guide out there which I could use to achieve my aim on a single disk?
Secondly, I've tried other programs to convert this.TS file, but all have omitted the audio track; hence, no sound! If I use AVS correctly, will I have the audio track intact, and what should I do to ensure this.
2 big asks, I know, but I'd be real grateful for any help, as I have other programs on my hard drive I'd like to burn.
Thanks in anticipation.
