Renaming TS files back to a .TS extention
One of my major peeves in life is how Sage records EVERYTHING with a .MPG extention. Whether it is a MPG file or not...
For post processing reasons, I have to rename my HD TS files recorded in Sage via Firewire back to .TS extentions. I can do this by looking at file sizes and will be right 90%+ of the time, but that seems kind of kludgey. Does anyone else have any bright ideas on a way to rename these files via script or other automatic mechanism? In a perfect work I would be able to just record with the correct extention. In a slightly less perfect, but still wonderful, world I could at least record HD in one folder and SD in another folder. But since Sage can't do any of those things, here I am... Jason Bottjen

I thought that in Graphedit, you can specify the extension to save as .TS.
If not, I believe the second option you specified regarding saving to a specific directory is available (at least it was in beta 4.1.6, and I would think it made it to 5.0). For details, see this thread. Hopefully, that is close to what you are looking for.

Just to close the loop on this... Forcing the HD tuner to record to a specific directory worked perfectly! So now my HD files are segregated from the SD, and therefore easily managable via script.
Problem solved (well, at least worked around). Thanks! Jason

I thought there was a line in the properties file that was used to specify if HD material would be recorded as .ts or .mpg files. I could swear that I saw it in there once. I made a mental note of it because I was thinking of activating it so that I could use a different method for commercial detection on those files. I never got around to it or needed to use .ts for anything else so I have never tried it. Of course I could be wrong. The alternate recording directory works too, I just have my recordings spread across multiple drives so I want to use which ever drive has the most free space.
