| Converting the Transport Stream | 
Use dvbcut for a graphical tool to select regions (start and top segments) that can then be exported to standard mpeg format.
To join some streams together:
| $ mpgtx -j c1.mpg c2.mpg c3.mpg -o cx.mpg | 
See http://wiki.dvbowners.com/index.php/Mencoder and http://www.linux2000.com/dvb.html.
Convert to MPEG: This simply puts a wrapper around the stream, with no additional encoding.
| $ mencoder -of mpeg -ovc copy -oac copy -o news.mpg news.ts | 
Convert to AVI:
| $ mencoder -ovc lavc -oac copy -o test.avi test.ts | 
To join two videos together:
| $ mpgjoin s01.mpg s02.mpg -o all.mpg | 
To cut the beginning and end out of a video:
| $ mpgjoin all.mpg [2:22-54:46] -o just.mpg |
