Hi Albert,

These files are Transport Stream. It's simply mpeg encapsulated in 188 byte=
s=20
packet for transport over any network. You can simply use "replex" ( from=20
http://www.metzlerbros.org/dvb/index.html ) to remultiplex them to mpeg=20
program stream.

Or you could try KaxTV ( http://perso.club-internet.fr/hftom/kaxtv/ ).
It's Kaffeine 0.4.3 with full DVB features, also able to save records in=20
mpeg-ps or mpeg-pes.
