Best AVCHD to AVI Conversion

I recently bought the SONY NEX-VG30H camcorder that uses the AVCHD compression format.  From what I've read, the image quality is very good.  There are many benefits, including the video and audio with the same camera, interchangeable lens and the size of small media.  Unfortunately, the high compression AVCHD is not recommended for mounting for several reasons as follows:

-editing with loss more with loss leads to a result never degrading.

-High CPU processing for editing is needed which takes longer that necessary to convert into a less rigid format e.g. AVI is a good idea.

-not directly supported by the Premier Pro.

I have years of experience with the Premier Pro and currently to CS5.  With the help of the forum, I have a hex core CPU that I do not wish to compromise by slowing it down so a conversion in AVI seems to be the best choice.  I find conversion software for apple computers recommended on Internet.

What software do I need to convert it to AVI for use with an i7 3930K with SSD C and two RAID 2 to supported drives?

I don't know where you're getting your information from.

CS5 handles avchd natively.

There is no need to convert especially with these pc specs.

But if you do insist on conversion: GoPro Cineform Studio Premium.

  • Start on this stuff AVI conversion?

    Then I "converted" them to AVI with some freeware module. Problem (video, in PPCS4, at a normal speed, runs about 70 mph, with audio pass 20 in the visualisation and the timeline pane. The files play OK in media players and in Premiere Pro 2.0 as well.) The converted files (AVI) are about a quarter of the size of Nero MP4 files.

    What is the best approach for the upgrade of the DSC-LV2012/LV7.1/DSC static variable tags in several screws running on several platforms? Our system is made up of about 5 PC running Windows 2000/LV7.1 DURATION, the more a PLC and a PDC running XP/SP3/LV2012. About 3 PC publish information from the sensor through tags on the local network to the PDC. Only the main command is currently being upgraded. Basic questions:

    1. the other computers running RTÉ 7.1 (with labels) will be able to communicate with the PDC running 2012 (shared variables)?

    2. is it necessary for conversion of tags shared variables, or the deprecated legacy tag screws of LV7.1 work in LV2012?

    3 all of the main controllers will be screw must be integrated in a project in order to use shared variables?

    4 is the only way to do it is to find all the tags and replace them with elements of shared variable?

  • GREAT for the Conversion of DV - AVI...

    (Steve), I use SUPER from eRightSoft for AV to DV - AVI conversion (a freeware application very kool).

    Conversion on a Mpeg2/to/DV-AVI file, I use the following attributes:

    Output container ~ avi

    Video codec ~ digital video DV

    Audio codec ~ mp3

    (I take the default values on all other options)

    Convert AVI is very, very rough, audio is fine.

    Keep the container to AVI, I try different video codecs without success.

    I am sure that the source file is OK (WMM converts very well), but I love GREAT cause it made for much smaller output files.

    Any ideas are appreciated...

    I thought Super only converted to DV - AVI NTSC PAL not. This is probably your problem.

  • Jumpy rendered in After Effects CS4 AVCHD

    Hey everybody,

    I work with ACVHD images that can easily be changed in ae and cs4 on my computer first. But since

    made my gear (I tried, mov, avi, flv and whatnot) it works perfectly, but is now and again

    Jumpy when played. Its like some images are sometimes repeated.

    What is the trick to get a good result, which is the best output format? Can someone please help?

    Thank you in advance!

    Best,

    Alex

    Alexauwa: update to after effects 9.02 (via the Adobe Updater application) is highly recommended because it covers a ton of questions and improves the performance and overall stability. It is unlikely that that it will solve the problem of mixed frames AVCHD with some Panasonic AVCHD cameras, unfortunately. As I said before, for the moment, and until a fix for this specific problem is available, the workaround is AVCHD material conversion to another format.

    Assuming you're on Windows, here is a free application , that I found on a quick Google search that allows to convert mts files (IE, native AVCHD) into AVI or a number of different formats.

    Once more, sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Codecs to generate AVI with Premiere Pro CS4 files?

    I would like some feedback on which codecs you think are the best to generate AVI files. I tend to use Microsoft Video 9 or Indeo 5.10 for most exporters of my AVI, but I was wondering if there are traps with codecs that I don't know?

    My priority is the video quality, but I also care about how many compression, it is (IE, reduce to a minimum the amount of space is consumed on the hard drive), and I want to minimize the time required to export a media file to avi.  Are there other factors should I consider in deciding which codec to use?

    For what it's worth, I am running CS4 on a Windows XP computer.

    Here's what I observed in my tests...

    In the order of the smallest file avi (most compression) to the larger avi file (compression less):

    Microsoft Video 9

    Indeo 5.10

    Indeo 4.5

    Cinepak Codec (AVI is more than triple the size of the Indeo codec)

    Microsoft RLE (AVI is almost double the size of the one generated by the Cinepak)

    Microsoft video 1 (AVI is almost three times the size of that generated by the Cinepak)

    In order of time the shorter 'export' longer-term export times to a 13 second clip of test, with the codec on a maximum quality:

    Microsoft video 1

    Microsoft Video 9

    Microsoft RLE

    Indeo 5.10

    Cinepak

    Indeo 4.5

    As far as I can tell from the eye or video files, the quality that results is similar on all of them, but I'm missing something?  I must admit, I have not looked at the video and sound quality as carefully as I would like.

    Welcome to the forum,

    If the conversion program offers it (most do, but some do not), the DV - AVI (AVI specific flavor) w / PCM/WAV Audio to 48 kHz 16-bit, would be the best.

    Also, there may be something useful in this ARTICLE, even if it was written for PrElements and not PrPro.Still, perhaps a useful tip.

    I also recommend HD of Jeff Belluno to SD TUTORIAL.

  • Coventing VOB to avi not playable on windows media player

    I have a HOME VIDEO (i.e. There is no license no questions here) I have a program that allows to convert VOB files to avi so that I can store the video on my computer, and then play using windows media player, etc...

    However, I can't get windows media player to read the file if I convert VOB to AVI using mpeg2.  This isn't a good option, but it works.   Other options for the avi settings include:
    INTEL IYUV codec
    Microsoft Video Codec I
    XviD codec MPEG-4

    With all this, when I try to run windows media player avi files which result gives me the following error:
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    How can I get a high quality VOB to AVI conversion that will play in windows media player?  I need to find somewhere new codec?  If yes where?

    Brian Smith

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Windows Media Player and. Read VOB

    Windows Media Player (and) Windows Media Center should be able to natively playback unencrypted. VOB files. As long as the whole structure is there you can point Windows Media Center in the folder root containing records audio and video TS. To display a local copy of your movie in Windows Media Center everything you need to do is Add the folder to the watch list. You can select and then ideally in your library or you can do the following to access the files using Windows Media Player.

    Opening. VOB in Windows Media Player:

    1 or you can right click the upper Video_TS. VOB and select Open.

    2. click Select a program from a list of installed programs, and then tap OK.

    3 uncheck always use the program selected for this file type.

    4. click on Windows Media Player, and the family film should start playing.

    If you still prefer to compress the files rather than using Windows Media Player or Media Center, you can see this technical document. This document describes the types of files supported in Windows Media Player.

  • How to combine two or more projects into one

    I have about 11 months of video editing experience. I started with a Sony HDV Handycam (tape) and now use a different Sony Handycam it has internal memory.

    I've upgraded to faster and more powerful computers (3 times in the last year). I have 3 computers - one with an Intel i7 64 bit running windows 7, a second with Intel core 2 Quad running vista 32-bit and Intel core 2 duo laptop running Windows 7.

    I have two editing Corel Video Studio Pro X 2 and first Adobe Elements 8 applications. Each came with the strengths and weaknesses.

    I am disappointed by Adobe regarding how to merge two or more projects into a master project. Working with large video projects is not what I like to do. Ten to 15 mins projects are my favorite length. However, when it comes to burn a DVD and adding projects to the list (this can be done in Pro X 2), I seem to be stuck with burning a DVD separate for each project of first Elements 8. This isn't the way to go if I do work for a client and they want just a DVD.

    I read on a forum and tried to convert an AVI to each project and then inserting each AVI file in my 'master' or final project timeline and then burn a single DVD. This principle works, but the quality of video playback (especially when the subjects are moving) is not acceptable. The edges are saw teeth and the overall quality of resolution is downgraded from the original AVCHD video from Sony handycam camera.

    Not to be too negative on creative adobe 8 elements, he did a great job of editing and burning to DVD with original AVCHD files direct the camera (pre-AVI conversion). I am very satisfied with this part of the application.

    I wish just that I don't have to save or convert each project separate adobe for AVI files in order to combine a number of projects.

    By the way I set up a project that had three blocks in the video (20 seconds) still subject (in this case roses growing in the garden in broad daylight) one block was directly from the camera format AVCHD, one was an uncompressed AVI file is using the options to 'share' in Adobe and third block is a done compressed AVI file also using 'share' in adobe. It was very clear to me that the AVI files are down on the quality of the original AVCHD file of the camera (only slightly better than the compressed AVI uncompressed AVI).

    AND other trouble, it was AVI files reduced the size of the image (same proportions 16:9) and that was disappointing on a HD screen. AVCHD met clear and clean and filled the screen on my 42 '' HDTV files.

    If anyone has had the same problem and can you please help with the concerns that I have.

    Thank you very much

    Paul Hodge

    The possibility of using the individual sequences, when you edit a project, is a force of PrPro. However, there is a difference in price between the two programs. You have to ' get something for your $, right? Personally, I created my PrPro sequences like "chapters" change like that and then export each sequence import into Encore to create.

    Pre, Steve to edit a project and then export as DV - AVI, technical for import in 'the master' project for the creation of final on DVD, is the best method. Were I not also on PrPro, this is exactly what I would do. It works perfectly. When all is said and done, there are no other measures, as for me, using PrPro and again. PrE was capacity-building, albeit somewhat limited, if a user does not need to transfer AV files to another program (in my case).

    Good luck

  • Importing large .wmv in Windows Movie Maker

    Hello

    It doesn't seem to be any major problem with the Windows Movie Maker program, because it is play other videos that I'm importing.  It can't import video that I converted from .mov to .wmv using Winff to 1 h.

    Last night he just repeated does not...  Today it says that it cannot import the video [.wmv].

    There is no problem with the .wmv because it plays fine in Windows Media Player.  There is no problem with the original video is.  I think the video is just too long or something.

    It's very frustrating... currently .avi conversion for the heck of it, hoping that it will be important that.

    Question: Windows DVD Maker does not recognize the MTS format.

    There are a few comments on the similar topic. I would like to know if there is some way I can get the creation of DVD to read MTS files without converting it to other formats.

    If I convert it, is it a tool of MS that I can use without buying a third-party tool 3. MTS format has been around for a while and I'm surprised that the creation of DVD in Windows 7 does not support.
    Vimal.

    Hello

    You must first convert AVCHD (.mts) .avi files or any other file format and then burn using Windows DVD creation. Create DVD does not recognize the format .mts and
    There are no Microsoft tool to convert the file formats.

    I suggest you to search using your favorite search engine. You will find many free online conversion tools.
