How to convert TP to DVD to watch HD TP files on DVD player

Just like many other netizens, one of my friend also like watching and sharing videos recorded by himself or downloaded from the internet. Recently he has recorded a HD TV show with .tp extension using a HDTV DVB-T card. But he doesn't know how to burn the TP files to DVD directly without a painful TP to AVI(or other popular formats) conversion. So I recommend him to use Aimersoft DVD Creator which supports directly converting TP to DVD disc with pristine quality and high customization.
