Hi,
I am having panasonic TM55 HD camcorder which record video 1080/60i at 17mbps average. The cam generates MTS (mpeg2 transport stream with AC3 audio and subtitle) files. My thinkpad plays them fine. I do have one more laptop with lot less power (AMD dual core 1.6ghz) which can not play these files at all. I know this can play downloaded 720p files very good.

So I want to convert these files to 720/30p at 4000mbps average bit rate. My easiest choice is to use ffmpeg. I have used following in a batch file.

ffmpeg -y -i %1 -deinterlace -an -pass 1 -s 1280x720 -vcodec libx264 -vpre fast_firstpass -b 3000k -bt 200k -threads 0 %1_tmp.mp4
ffmpeg -y -i %1 -deinterlace -acodec libfaac -ab 192k -pass 2 -s 1280x720 -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -b 3000k -bt 200k -threads 0 %1.mp4

But this is not generating progressive 30p. Please help me the options to do so. I hope it is clear. I will post mediainfo details asap.
