Hello,

I purchased a HD camcoder (JVC GZ-HD30) that can record both in AVCHD and
MPEG2-TS in 1920x1080i. I used it during my holidays and recorded in
MPEG2-TS. The files all have extension .tod, that must be converted to mpg
with ffmpeg to make Cinelerra willing to import them:

ffmpeg -i movie.tod -vcodec copy -acodec copy movie.mpg

Using tcprobe gives the following information about the converted file:

$ tcprobe -i movie.mpg
[tcprobe] MPEG program stream (PS)
[tcprobe] summary for movie.mpg, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 1920x1088 [720x576] (*)
     aspect ratio: 16:9 (*)
       frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3
                   PTS=12382.5579, frame_time=40 ms, bitrate=28000 kbps
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000] (*)
                   bitrate=384 kbps

Funny enough it has 1088 lines instead of 1080. Anyway, this file,
slightly smaller in size than tye original .tod file, I can play
flawlessly on my media player HDX1000.

So I would like now Cinelerra to produce that kind of file after editing
and that is where the problem starts: I tried some containers and formats
and codecs when rendering but the result did not play on the HDX1000 or
only with an annoying amount of stuttering. Yet the HDX1000 is able to
play quite some formats and codecs. Cinelerra also does not seem to have a
format that produces 1920x1080p with frame rate 25.
Do I have to export to quicktime for linux, for example with Compression
"Component Y'CbCr 8-bit 4:2:2 (yuv2)" and then use ffmpeg to produce the
kind of file I want?

Please some advice.


Ed
