Selecting MPG recording has no effect

Win7, Skywalker1, DVBDream 2.2 (and others)
User for several years.
I select RECORD FORMAT to be "MPG". Makes no difference -- I get an unusable TS recording. It won't play or convert in any program I know of -- or in DVBDream for that matter.
Please tell me what I need to change, replace, worship to get DVBDream working again.
(Uninstall/Reinstall does not work)
Thank you

Maybe you are trying to record H.264 channels (HD)? they will record in TS even when you select MPG record format. DVB Dream doesn't support any other container for H.264 at the moment.
Please check "video type" in channel properties (MPEG-2 or H264) ?
Also check for packet loss. Is there any packet losses ? (Main menu->Analysis->Info Bar)

Oh. I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

On the unusable TS recording (H264) -- zero packet loss. Just won't play in VLC or DvbDream or any player I've got.
Zoom Player at least gives me an error:

We checked the sample you sent. it looks like file doesn't include PMT pid. (This could happen if the provider changed PMT pid) , scanning the frequency again could help. or simply try to update channel (right click on channel, channel properties, "Update All")
If the problem still continues or repeats sometime soon again, let us know please.

Update All was grayed out. A rescan fixed that and probably everything. I'll test a bit later.
Thank you once again.
