I uses USB DMB-TH adaptor to watch digital TV in Hong Kong.

As a Linux user, I seldom to use Windows but I use TotalMedia software (bundled with USB adaptor) on Windows to watch/record DTV programme.

But video format used by TotalMedia is difficult for me to store on local disk, or send these files to friends. So I need to find out how to convert them to other video formats.
