Hello, I'm trying to use Cinelerra for editing and rendering of Sony-cam .MTS HD files. Apparently, there's no direct support for the MTS file format yet in the Cinelerra version I'm running (2.2CV in Linux Mint 13).
I did find the following workaround, based on a lower quality proxy file for editing and an intermediate file format for rendering: http://www.renomath.org/ejolson/video/avchd/ Generating a proxy file is no problem, but when I try creating the intermediate file, I get several errors and messages (even when omitting the unsupported interlace option in the above page): $ ffmpeg -threads 4 -i my_video.MTS -r 30000/1001 -acodec mp2 -vcodec mpeg2video -top 1 -flags +ildct+ilme -ab 384k -b 24000k -f mpegts -y my_video.m2t ... *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. ... [mp2 @ 0x12f4340] bitrate 24000 is not allowed in mp2 ... Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height ... So this clearly isn't working. I also tried replacing ffmpeg with avconv, but that didn't make much of a difference. How can I go about creating an intermediate HD file for rendering? Even better would be a way to load .MTS files directly in Cinelerra, of course -- if I pull in & compile the latest CV version, would that help? Any tips are appreciated, Thanks a lot in advance, Best regards, Richard Rasker _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
