How do I convert .tsl video files from my Philips TV to a more common file format?

Question

I have a Philips 6606H TV, which can record files onto my external hard drive via USB. The files are recorded into a .tsl file, which I have now copied to my Windows 7 PC hard drive.

Now, I want to open and convert the file, but I can't find any software that can open or convert the file into a format like .avi.

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

Note that in an announcement on the Philips forums about being able to record they mentioned:

Saved Recordings will be encrypted and can only be decrypted with the same TV, so sharing movies will NOT be possible.

Can you play those files with VLC? Have you tried Mobile Media Converter ?

Yes, I tried that, but nothing happened. But as you can see beneath, there's really not much for VLC to do with it, as it is encrypted.

Man, that sucks. Thanks for the answer and the source though. :)

Might be worth going into more detail on how this could be achieved.

Some more details would be nice. I am not able to open .tsl-files in KMPlayer. I get a warning popup with a dump of the file and some information on my computer.
