The obvious choice is of course .ts as every app I've ever seen/used that handles transport streams uses it by default. Using .mpg would be wrong for the reasons already stated. The extention (.ts, .avi, .mkv, etc) should designate the contianer, not the contents. I don't see why VDR should have to worry Konqueror's problems. If the Konqueror devs made the mistake of assuming *.ts is a quicktime file, it's up to them to fix it, not VDR to do something goofy to compensate for it! Or if Konqueror offers an option like 'Open With' with and a 'always use this' checkbox like Windows Explorer then users can control it themselves. If this is a vote, then I say .ts without question. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
