Hello,

I have lots of recorded programmes recorded from Media Centre - i.e. in WTV format. I need to edit the adverts out and convert them to a better format to make them smaller - native WTV MPEG2 files are huge. I also want to preserve the subtitles.

I think I should perhaps convert them to either h.264 WTV or h.264 MKV once they have been edited but do not know what programs to use and whether the subtitles will disappear.

Expert advice would be really appreciated.

Thank you.

If you are in UK or AU, I don't have anything to offer as I don't know the standard there (DVB?).

For North American, ATSC with closed captions in .wtv format is a p.i.t.a.
The video is a transport stream that can to be converted to mpeg2 using MC-TVConverter (not my preferred program - unless you want to get into using GraphEdit and batch files - see the last link).
Then the mpeg is edited using the likes of mpg2cut2 and saved.
CC Extractor demuxes the closed captions from the edited mpeg as a .srt file.
You convert the edited mpeg file to the format you want and add the .srt subs.

There's a thread at VideoHelp that takes about DVB
I opted for the Graphedit solution and batch files to schedule the task overnight - I don't use the closed captions, so that part is simplified.
