[MEncoder-users] Converting m2ts from JVC GZ HD 10 to avi with mencoder

Thu May 14 15:16:48 CEST 2009

Hi Grozdan,

here is the full file:

http://prog-mat.elte.hu/vid/best3.avi

and the script I use (I have tried now many variants and the one U suggested works the best):
one small remark, I HAVE to provide fps and ofps, if not I got no encoding at all, with other values I got a lot of duplicate frame messages. With this script it's exactly 3 frames 94,95 always, and some random value btw 200-600. Maybe it's a but or something, but I can live with that ...

#!/bin/bash

for i in `ls -al *.mts | awk '{ print $9 }'`
do

mencoder $i -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=5 -o /dev/null -ovc lavc -lavcopts threads=2:mbd=2:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=12000:vpass=1:v4mv:trell:turbo:aspect=16/9 \
-fps 50 -ofps 25 -vf yadif=0,scale=1440:1080,harddup,softskip

mencoder $i -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=5 -o $i.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts threads=2:mbd=2:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=12000:vpass=2:v4mv:trell:turbo:aspect=16/9 \
-fps 50 -ofps 25 -vf yadif=0,scale=1440:1080,harddup,softskip

rm divx2pass.log

done

Kind Regards, Tibor

if possible, can you upload a 50 MB sample to say Mediafire?
you can cut a chunk with:

mencoder file.mts ovc copy -oac copy -endpos 50mb -o output.avi

>> Hi Grozdan,

>> first of all thanks for your answer. The original file has a framerate of 25 fps, I verified this with mediainfo, powerdirector, and some other program. I try to do a simple transcoding (because x264 playback is slow on my machine), nothing more. I don't care about the framerate, I only want the video in a well playable format, that's all.
