This software enables conversion of m2ts video files to avi format.
If you have recorded .m2ts videos using a high-def camcorder and want to play them on your computer or convert them to another format, then m2tstoavi is the script for you. The software is compatible with Linux, Unix and Mac OS X.
The software follows a straightforward four-step procedure to convert a .m2ts file. Firstly, xporthdmv is used to convert the file into .mpv and .mpa files. Secondly, ldecod is used to convert the .mpv file into a .yuv file. Thirdly, the .mpa file is renamed to .ac3. Finally, ffmpeg creates a .avi file that contains the .yuv transcoded to the desired format, and the .ac3 file. It is worth noting that step four is highly customizable.
There are different versions of m2tstoavi included in the package, including m2tstoavi.fifo which speeds up the conversion process by using a fifo, and m2tstoavi.mencoder which uses mencoder instead of ffmpeg to create the video. Users are free to choose the version that works best for them.
Users can modify the m2tstoavi script to suit their specific transcoding needs by changing the ffmpeg line in the script. The software is easy to use. The user should enter the following command: 'm2tstoavi filename', where filename is the name of the file they want to convert. Wildcards can also be used to convert multiple files.
The software can be slow, so users will need a lot of disk space in /tmp. It is recommended that users save their original .m2ts or .MTS files in case a better solution appears in the future.
If you have a Sony HDR-SR1 AVC HD Camcorder and Linux, simply plug in the camcorder into the USB 2.0 port and run the 'hdrsr1' script. The software will convert all .MTS files in the camcorder to .avi and place them in the current directory.
In conclusion, m2tstoavi is an efficient and customizable software for converting .m2ts files to other formats or playing them on Linux/Unix/Mac OS X computers. The software package is regularly updated and can be easily modified to suit users' specific transcoding needs.
