FAST mpeg2 to mpeg4?

[bgd73]

I have been tinkering a month with my panasonic sdr-s10p1 and videos..and it ocurred to me...
for an mpeg2 DIGITAL video, it is quite a process getting to mpeg4.

I of course went open source route, this whole realm is insane with cost..if to fall for it. open source is a winner, and porblemed.

avidemux is fantastic. does not understand my mpeg2 needs rgb deflating for color, NOT the flying high 4:2:0 or variant that is in most mpeg2.

rgb32 or rgb was the only way to keep the green out..so back to vdub mpeg2 version. Very nice. I can do alot there..at 4 freakin frames a second.

ffdshow installed via the free vistacodecpack, and that is also good... but it does not undrstand that my 16:9 is NOT a 1.74:1 it is truly a 16:9. So, after fidgeting with several settings, I can use winmovie maker for editing, at normal speed, and drop the mpeg2 right in.But we all know win movie maker and thier everything-but-what-I-want-settings.

My question is....
Did anyone make a editing version with many options, and fast as it ought to be editor for mpeg2 to mpeg4? I would love to edit like in win movie maker type editor, then output to the h264 that has made incredible vids....but nothing exists...for Anyone who want options more than a 15fps you tube masterpiece.
Sorry to sound upset...mpeg2 is only 11 +years old , and made for computers to understand..I do not understand these slow processings to add a letterbox and say a median blender deinterlace. it is insane to think about and be forced to respect.

Any software ideas in the 50 dollar range that will let me do EXACTLY waht I want, get the timestamps for the vid correct, get the color correct, and aspect ratio correct, and let me do what I want with ANY codec and size as output? flv, h264, ac3 aac, it goes on and on and on..and I have *none* with the exact input and outut I need. Bizarre.


I am going video encoding INSANE

You're a prime candidate for Avisynth

Sorry - no single software application will do everything and support all codecs and containers...and it sounds like you need a new CPU

h.264 encoding is slow.

Also, your computer is 5 years old. Dual or Quad core means significantly faster h264 encoding performance.
