I can load MTS files directly into the timeline, but they are HDV.
Otherwise I too use Grandma's recipe with DNxHD as the intermediate format.

Hi Richard.
I have been using Raffaella's excellent code at
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/get_media_ready.html#_how_to_convert_your_hd_original_files_to_dnxhd
which outputs AVID DNxHD video and RAW 16-bit PCM audio in a .mov
container. High quality and ready for Cinelerra.

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
