Script to convert MTS to MP4 losslessly?

[isoelectricpoint]

I downloaded a script from a user on this forum. It works well, but I want two things- I would like the resolution to stay at 1920x1200 (the native resolution of my Canon HF200) and I would like no normalization on the audio. I am very bad with manipulating avisynth scripts so does anyone know how to make this possible losslessly? Or is there another script that is better to use?

@echo off

del *.aac
del *.h264
del *.avc
del *.dga
del *.ac3
del *.wav
del *.avs
del *.log

cls

for %%a in ("*.mts") do xport -h "%%a" 1 1 1 && ren bits0001.mpa "%%~na.ac3" &&  ren bits0001.mpv "%%~na.avc"




for %%b in ("*.avc") do DGAVCIndex -i "%%b" -o "%%~nb.dga" -e

for %%c in ("*.ac3") do azid "%%c" "%%~nc.wav"
for %%a in ("*.wav") do normalize -l 0 --peak -v "%%a"

for %%a in ("*.wav") do faac -b 192 "%%a" -o "%%~na.aac"


for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo loadplugin("dgavcdecode.dll") >> "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo load_stdcall_plugin("yadif.dll") >> "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo AVCSource("%%a") >> "%%~na.avs"

for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo yadif() >> "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo fadein(15).fadeout(15) >> "%%~na.avs" 
for %%a in ("*.dga") do @echo Lanczos4Resize(1280,720) >> "%%~na.avs"


cls


for %%a in ("*.avs") do x264.exe --qp 64 --bitrate 6000 --ref 10 --bframes 0 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --subme 6 --trellis 1 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "%%~na.h264" "%%a" 


for %%a in ("*.h264") do mp4box -add "%%a" -add "%%~na.aac" -fps 29.97 -new "vimeo_%%~na.mp4"


del *.aac
del *.h264
del *.avc
del *.dga
del *.ac3
del *.wav
del *.avs
del *.log

Try remove the normalize and Lanczos4Resize lines from the script.

But this is not lossless, reconverting to h264 and aac will reduce the quality a bit. What is you goal to change to mp4 file? If just computer playback why not leave it as mts.

Final Cut will not read MTS and the Apple codecs that convert it to a usable format are garbage. Is there a better lossless conversion process?

Avid DNxHD is cross platform and visually lossless.

If you want truly lossless (i.e repackaging only) then Xvid4PSP can do this under Windows.

well you aren't going to get 1920x1200 from any program. the cam only records 1920x1080.
from canon

The Canon VIXIA HF200 not only captures images in Full HD, but records and outputs at 1920 x 1080

the Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i60 should work fine for that cam's video.
