I"m not sure of any / the VLC method. But I do exactly that with mplayer / mencoder. It's also possible with transcode and ffmpeg. And in theory MythTV. mencoder -aspect 4:3 tv://3 -tv driver=v4l2:input=6:fps=60000/1001:chanlist=us-cable:norm=NTSC-M:buffersize=1024:width=720:height=480:brightne...

It's been some time so I guess I'll give an update. It appears that AVCHD is not correctly implemented in any of the linux routes. Not that I would know what is correct since I only run linux. But I now have basically three ways to convert AVCHD 60i footage in linux. Thanks to many sources. The basi...

The files work with VLC. Just "Convert / Save" in VLC doesn't output usable results for me. I can play them for the most part (baring CPU limitations). It's just converting them to something else so I can edit them in Open Movie / Cinelerra that gets problematic.

mplayer requires the -fps option to play .MTS files. For me at this time (disclaimer). mplayer wont even tab complete .mts filenames, like it does other file types. Mencoder is just as capable to convert to another format. But suffers the same artifact hell if the clip exceeds so many minutes. ffmpe...

vlc 0.9.4 - audio only output for mpeg-2 and mpeg4/divX. Mpeg-2 complained about not finding the encoder. Mpeg4/xviD didn't, but still audio only results.

http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=50767 My exploits above in trying to deal with 60i MTS files before I buy an HD camcorder. VLC is supposed to be able to convert it. Media -> Convert / Save. But I've been unsuccessful so far. I've had some success with mencoder, and some with ffmpe...

I guess I have a workflow now. ffmpeg -i file.MTS -sameq -an -f yuv4mpegpipe - | yuvfps -s 60000:1001 -r 60000:1001 | ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -sameq -i - -sameq -s 1280x720 -f mpeg2video -r 60000/1001 outfile.MPEG This gives me usable 60 fps video that I can edit and work with. Or rejoin the audio wi...

try --no-audio and perhaps some other optimizations. cvlc --no-skip-frames --no-drop-late-frames --no-video-deco --swscale-mode 0 --no-ffmpeg-hurry-up --ffmpeg-skiploopfilter 4 --no-audio file.MTS Make sure you have the x264 stuff installed. Otherwise it wont be able to decode the video. --enable-sh...

I installed the svn version 0.8.6 for debian (distro supplied) and it was able to save a video(cvlc ONLY). But the results took forever and were garbage past the top 5% of the picture. So I went for 0.8.6i from source. And it barked at having swscale enabled in ffmpeg. So I disabled it and it still ...

I found a workaround of sorts. ffmpeg -i 00002.mts -sameq -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 outfile.mp4 Although 60i becomes 30p without dropping any frames, so video is twice as long as the audio portion. I upgraded to the latest ffmpeg snapshot (10/1). And vlc 0.9.3. From source. And added gpac (MP4Box) from s...

I'm looking to buy an HD camcorder. The Canon HG20 specifically. I went to best buy and made some samples on an SDHC flash drive (transcend 16GB class 6). I'm having trouble converting the largest clip (1GB / 5 minutes). I am able to convert the smaller clips just fine. ffmpeg -i 00000.mts -sameq -t...

Thanks, that seems to have worked. Any tips for compile options for a dual core cpu? I'm still lagging severely in performance on MTS files. But I can play them finally. In a sort of stop motion, disable the audio type fashion. ./configure --enable-???? for vlc and ffmpeg? I seem to only be using on...

The basics... kernel : 2.6.25.9 distro: debian / stable vlc: 0.9.1 Compiling from source yields the error below. I'm probably missing a dep or didn't disable something. Although configure worked fine. I downloaded vlc-0.9.1.tar.bz2 this morning. Debian is up to date as of this morning as well. Sever...
