I've found that recordings from the Ross can be played back on a PC

*.ts to *.mpg. They can be played "as is" using "Media Player Classic".

If you use VLC you will not need to rename them.

I don't need to rename the files when using "Media Player Classic".
For editing and for conversion to programme stream if necessary, I use
MPEG_Streamclip.

BTW, long recordings are segmented by the Ross into 2-GB chunks, with
extensions in the form *.ts.001 . This is recognised by MPEG_Streamclip
which automatically joins the files.
