Huh, now that seems tricky one!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for posting this. I was using another program (mts2avi or something like that). I should've been using mencoder all along.

I had the same sync problem and this post solved it.... this is great!

Also, for bash users you can go through a directory with the following:

Quote:

#!/bin/bash
for file in *.MTS
do
outfile=${file%.MTS}.avi
echo $file " " $outfile
mencoder $file -o $outfile -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=10000 -fps 60000/1001 -vf scale=1280:720
done

You can do more I suppose... make a processed directory and put the MTS files there and an output folder to put the .avi files with something like this after the mencoder command:

Quote:

mv $file processed
mv $outfile avi

Thanks again!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

I've recently been trying to play with AVCHD video on Linux out of my Sony HDR-SR7 camera.
I also tried that mts2avi script, without much success. Using mencoder directly seems to work much better.

Any advice on the seg fault?

I ran into the same issue, more or less. I found out I had to manually download and compile mplayer (& mencoder which comes with it), apparently the current mediubuntu-provided version does not work.
The version of mencoder from svn that I've compiled and which works is SVN-r29289-4.3.3.

See the first post of this thread for how to compile mplayer... You will need at least the build-essential and subversion packages installed (maybe others too). Also, it's not absolutely necessary, but probably a good idea to remove the mplayer package before doing the compile.

I also had issues with mencoder giving errors of "Too many video packets in the buffer:" and audio getting out of sync, these were solved by adding "-demuxer lavf" to the mencoder line.

Hope this helps!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

I am facing a different problem - compilation issue.

When I checkout the latest version of mplayer. ./configure works fine, but when I run make, I get the errors below after about 10 minutes of compilation (I have build-essential installed).

Can asomeone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? (Incidentally I'm running a 32 bit version of Ubuntu 9.04)

Looks like you're missing zlib headers (at least). Check to see if you have the zlib1g-dev (or zlib1-dev) package installed, as well as zlib1g (or zlib1). You might be missing other -dev packages too that mplayer requires to compile, this being just the first of such error that you run into. If that's the case, check the mplayer documentation for a list of required packages (software) to build. build-essential is not enough in itself for mplayer, it just means you can build software in general.

I would imagine configure is meant to handle this stuff and complain if something required is missing, strange that it doesn't.

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

Thanks a lot, Wizzu. As configure went smoothly without complaining, I was wondering if I had messed up somewhere. Anyway, including zlib1g-dev did the trick.

For the benefit of those who might run into this, you will need build-essential, subversion and zlib1g-dev for compilation to succeed (on a clean Ubuntu Jaunty install).

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion zlib1g-dev

Cheers!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

Thank you all for the great solution! I found using m2ts2avi a bit strange and never got the results I wanted. Basically the sound was gone/deformed and the picture was totally mashed. With this everything is in sync and well done :D Thanks!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

I think I have been trying to solve the same problem using ffmpeg - without much success - you can read about my efforts here

Have tried the mencoder commands and am getting the same segmentation error.

Code:

I am using MEncoder 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu19 on 64bit Ubuntu 9.04

I have tried to follow uhappo's instructions to install mplayer & mendocer from svn and build from source. But I haven't built software form source before and I can't seem to get this to work.

Could someone jot down an idiots step by step guide to doing this - or point me in the right direction. Do I need to remove the installed mplayer first? Where should I make and install the new version on my system - my home directory? Where do I put the codecs uhappo linked to (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html)?

Thanks!

I am getting the same errors as mashedbear:

Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: AVCHD-video (.MTS) to AVI, fast and easy way

Can someone here explain to me these "duplicate frame(s)!" errors? I googled the error messages, but I lack the technical knowledge and I can't understand them.

Thank you.
