How to convert Beyonwiz (tvwiz) files to another format

Beyonwiz makes great PVRs that have a lot of flexibility. However, one of the main problems with it is that while you can copy recordings to your computer, it’s done in a proprietary .tvwiz format. This article covers how you can convert these files to play on your iPod or burn to DVD.

There seems to be a small problem with Beyowiz’s PVRs. When you transfer the recording to a computer, it’s in a proprietary format called .tvwiz that you can’t play on anything. After a lot of searching I found a solution and though I would show it to everyone, so other people having the same problem can easily fix it.

First, you need to download a program called Add-Remove .ts. This combines the multitude of files you’ll find when you transfer the recording into a single .ts file. It’s incredibly easy to use and it’s single purpose, which it does very well, but it takes time. My movie took about 2 1/2 hours to combine into one file.

After doing this, you can either play the recording directly with VLC player or you can convert it to a more playable file format so you can burn it to DVD or transfer it to your iPod with WinFF. You can convert almost any video file to any format you want. All you have to do is hit the Add button and use the dropdown boxes to select the format and you’re done. Now you can enjoy your Beyonwiz recordings anywhere!
