That device can capture to MPG for DVD format. Your capture was an M2TS for AVCHD. You have to tell the software you want DVD.

You are using Hauppauge Capture, which captures only to M2TS or TS. Use WinTV for MPEG capture.
From the left-hand side of the Haupppauge USB Libve-2 QUick Start Guide:

During capture the software encodes automatically. Decoding is for playback.

A better method would be to to capture with the USB Live-2 to MPG, then use a smart-rendering editor and authoring program such as TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 or VEGAS Movie Studio Platinum to create the DVD and burn to disc.
There is no other way to do this without learning to use software designed for what you want to do.

just want to know
MPEG-PS , TS or MT2S which is good for digital backup?

No answer for that. The container has nothing to do with the quality of the encode. it's just a wrapper for the video. The video you just posted info about is an MPEG program stream file encoded as MPEG in an MPEG container with a fairly high mainstream bitrate for decent quality, DVD authoring and burning, and good quality for archiving. If you really want the highest quality for archiving you should be capturing analog to lossless AVI, which is as good as you'll get without commercial equipment. But you said you don't want that. You also said you don't want to pay for higher quality software. If you use your DVD recorder and set the highest bitrate it can record, you'll get pretty much the same MPEG encode that you posted info about, but the files when burned to DVD disc from your recorder will use .VOB containers.

Never use an encoder-only app thyat doen't smart-render video that's already encoded. TVMW5 is an encoder, not an editor. It will re-encode your entire video, even if you make no changes.
Your video is already MPG. Did you notice this in the mediaInfo report? Obviously this was not captured as MPEG because TVMW5 is not a capture app. If you used TVMW5 to cut a short segment from another encoded video, your entire sample went through another stage of lossy encoding -- you lost quality from the original.
I don't know what you mean by "encode to AC3". AC3 is Dolby digital, which is the audio format most often used in DVD and Bluray. The audio in the MediaInfo report is already AC3.

If you want work with lossy encoded MPEG captures, DO NOT USE encoding apps. Use smart-rendering editors like TMPGenc Smart Renderer or TMPGEnc Authoring Works, either of which could have allowed you encode your Layer-2 audio into AC3 without re-encoding the entire video. Video Mastering Works is not a smart rendering editor. It re-encodes whatever you put into it. You also wasted data bits by re-encoding at a fixed bitrate, which also increased your file size unnecessarily.

I capture the VHS using Wintv (MPG), i edit it using TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works (cut + AC-3).
The reason i want to use TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works because it allow to me to keep the (cut + AC-3) mpg.
TMPGEnc Authoring Works will direct making into DVD

Yes, I thought that's what you did. Mastering Works lossy re-encoded your MPG capture, which was altready lossy encoded as MPG. Re-encoding lossy MPG is a quality loss, and not necessary. Mastering Works is not a smart-rendering editor, it's an encoder.
TMPGENc Smart Renderer and TMPGenc Authoring Works can smart-render MPG and convert your audio without re-encoding the entire video track. Either of those apps can convert to AC3 audio without damaging the video track. But Smart Renderer writes only to DB disc, not DVD. If you want to smart-render your lossy MPG without re-encoding the video, and at the same time convert audio-only to AC3, use TMPGenc Authoring Works. It can smart-render MPG without re-encoding, can create DVD menus, etc., and burn DVD, BluRay, and AVCHD to disc.
Mastering Works was designed to convert various formats to other formats by re-encoding, or to take lossless un-encoded video and encode it to several formats. It is not a smart rendering editor. Even if you set up for DVD output, it will re-encode the video and create added compression artifacts that you don't want. It's a very good encoder, but not the correct tool for what you want to do.

Nope. M2TS is an MPEG-2 Transport Stream that was later adapted for H.264 carriage by the broadcast industry.
So M2TS can (and often does) contain MPEG-2.
- When you make the M2TS, you should know what's in it.
- But when you just "find" an M2TS, you have to analyze the actual codec content, and cannot guess.
I've mostly avoided this thread because your answers have been spot-on.

I use
- TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4
- TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4
TAW is for BD authoring (as I still use DVDWS2 for DVD authoring, since it's more advanced).
SR4 is for my H.264 cut-editing.
I use Womble software for MPEG cutting.

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, M2TS can contain MPEG or h.264, I guess I didn't phrase it correctly.
