MTS2AVI revisited

[RogerTango]

H264 looks great at a lower bitrate than XviD.. So the trade off seams to be, transcode to XviD at a "higher than normal" bitrate and 98% of the quality is retained. Out of a consumer AVCHD camcorder, the MTS file really isnt going to be multi-thousand dollar camera quality to start with, but my "system" tends to do "little damage" to the original.

Ill be posting a link to a ZIP file here in the next week.

Have you run into this? any ideas? I am using Vista btw and the MTS file is from a Canon HF200 in 30 FPS

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Looks like AVISynth was not installed, from what I can tell.

As soon as I can Ill be posting a link to a *NEW* system to encode MTS files into AVI files, that does NOT use AVISynth, and also does a most wonderful job at the same time!

I hope to post in the next week or two.

Hi,

Yes. That was it. Thanks!!!

And looking forward for your new script!

And looking forward for your new script!

I think my script does a "better" job, and Im 99% sure it will work with "all"MTS files.

Ive got to build up the README.TXT file and I should be able to have it ready
pretty soon.

There are a few pieces of software that need to be installed, such as the HAIL
MEDIA SPLITTER (Sp?), after that MENCODER and FFMPEG do the work of
encoding the video, and another program I forget because I am not at my
work computer does the audio.

MENCODER does the H264 video encoding, FFMPEG does the muxing.

Ive used it with both Canon and JVC progressive and interlaced video,
same results.... beautiful!

Ill be back...
