    I'm trying to convert them to *.AVI files with ffmpeg:
    ffmpeg -r 29.97 -s 1440x1080 -i one.M2TS -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -acodec copy -deinterlace -aspect 16:9 -s hd720 -b 15000k one.avi

    When I try to play them back the video plays back really fast and the audio doesn't line up. I'm not sure if I've got one of the settings wrong or what. I've tried it both in Ubuntu 7.10 and XP sp2 with no luck.

    If ffmpeg is the wrong app to use, what app can I use that can easliy open M2TS files and export them to AVI (or any other vimeo format). Windows Movie Maker didn't seem to like them.

    Thanks!
    Travis

    hmm, it may have just been a CODEC error since it seems to be working after updating K-Lite Mega CODEC Pack, but now, the AVIs seem flickery. I suspect it has something to do with the 60i or 24p.

  • T-Rav 3 months ago

    An alternative method for AVCHD: eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2008/05/04/avchd-transcoding-using-free-tools/

    Thanks Eugenia, that method was not only easier, but the videos were less block-y in areas of high motion that the other method that I was using.

    Does anybody know if Final Cut Pro will do all of this? I'm wondering what the "industry standard" playable archival format should be with HD video. I don't like the idea of compressing a playable copy apart from my "non-playable" unedited and edited masters.
  • Eugenia Loli-Queru 3 months ago
    The new versions of FCP support AVCHD. If you have an old version, no. FCP can export in h.264 for delivery format, and as ProRes for archival intermediate format.
