recording in TS requires no alterations to the stream meaning you are recording exactly the stuff which's broadcasted. In DD we have also an advantage that you are able to record multiple audio or other streams. MPEG recording is not as stable as TS recording is. TS can be converted to mpeg PS using PVAstrumento or Projectx. Or it can be transcoded using DG index and avi synth on the source side and whatever codecs as output. megui or virtual dub can help in transcoding. All the utils I am talking about are free for use.

of course this is relative and depends on the PC and system used but usually it cant be compared to the real transcoding as no recompression is made while converting mpeg TS to mpeg PS. Only container format is different as I am aware. So the speed is close to copying on really fast systems.
