Sony Vegas 8 convert m2ts to mp4???

[dilfatx]

When I open Vegas and want to render to mp4 it only gives me option to do it at the ipod resolution??? Is there a way around this? Also I went ahead and did that at the highest quality and got an mp4 video wth ipod resolution and there was "ghost" images throughout the whole video.. What settings do I need to have it stop doign that?

I know lots of questions.. but I hope somebody can help me out. Want to convert my son's home movies to upload them to blip.tv

I would use ripbot264 or xvid4psp instead.

you should get 3 drop down settings for mp4 - default and 2 apple ipod. if you use the default you can change the resolution to whatever you want in the custom video tab.

I have installed xvid4psp and it doesn't work.. i get audio and no video.. it tells me i need a yv12 codec or something..so i installed k lite codec pack and still get that same error..

[Baldrick]

Xvid4psp can also create mkv.

Don't install any k lite codec pack use instead ffdshow. THe yv12 decoder should be installed when you install xvid4psp.

You can also use avidemux to convert to mkv and mp4 with h264.

I just installed xvid4psp again and i still get the error saying that yv12 decoder is not installed. I also uninstalled k lite codec and installed FFDSHOW. If it matters im running Vista.

What is your input source material? RGB? What format? You have to enable the appropriate decoder in ffdshow for it to work. Use mediainfo if you don't know.

If it is RGB, add this line to the script under avisynth=>edit filtering script

ConvertToYV12()

This is the info I got from mediainfo

This looks like it might be from an AVCHD camcorder, probably a Sony variety ?

The "ghost images" you mentioned in the 1st post are probably from the interlacing, I don't know if xvid4psp will autodetect & correct this

Without getting into avisynth, scripting & deinterlacing, the easiest way is probably to use Soopafresh's mini guide here with easy to use batch files
https://forum.videohelp.com/topic346331.html

The problem is you can get artifacts with interlaced AVC using DGAVCdec because it's based on an earlier libavcodec version that had problems with interlaced AVC material, I think Soopa might have made a batch script for DirectShowSource, you might have to dig around for it...

If you're familiar with avisynth I would use a recent build of ffdshow (h264 enabled in the configuration), haali media splitter, and avisynth 2.57 or greater

Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")

DirectShowSource("file.m2ts", fps=29.97, audio=true)
Yadif(order=1) #Top field first
LanczosResize(720,400)

You can copy that to a notepad .txt file and rename the extension to .avs, changing the filenames and paths to match, and adjust the resize if you want to. Just feed that .avs script into any encoder that accepts avisynth as input, eg. xvid4psp, megui, ripbot.
