Good people,
I have been recording DVB streams from Kaffeine which are then stored
with an m2t suffix, which no application recognises, but which have
these characteristics, and which Kaffeine will play, and dvbcut will
edit:
video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 544x576, 10000 kb/s
audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 192 kb/s
ffmpegx can recognise this on my mac, but transcode has problems
probing for valid information.
I have tried editing and exporting with dvbcut to present an mpeg to
transcode which it is happy with, but have started getting problems
where the video has exported correctly, but the audio has not cut, so
that adverts are soundtracked over the movie.
Also, I am not happy with copying the file over to my laptop to
ffmpegx it into .mov format for editing in Quicktime, as it takes
time, the audio does not always transcode, and there is pixellation
on scenes with a dominance of red and movement (eg the Chinese film
Hero, when the Zhao school of calligraphy is being attacked by
archers, the school dress is red in a wood coloured room with trays
of sand - red + red + red with shades - the pixellation is quite bad .
So I guess I would like to keep things all on 1 machine, and so my
questions would be:
Why is DVBCUT playing up (question fofr dvbcut forum perhaps)?
What can I do to get transcode to read the kaffeine produced
recording with m2t suffix (transcode question)?
What can I do to eliminate pixellation in a situation where there is
a colour dominance?
