M2TS File to DVD

[speck]

I have a M2ts file that i'm wanting to convert to DVD. I have found the program [spam] which seems to do be in the process of doing this for me but I was wondering what other programs I can use that will do the job with no/minimal loss of quality. Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

If the M2TS contains SD material, then you'll have no loss unless it's in a non-DVD frame size (like 544x576i) and your DVD player cannot cope with it even patched. In this case you are forced to reencode with resizing.

Otherwise, it's a straightforward process -> ->

Read the stickies and/or the posts in this subforum :devil:

Hi!

Please provide the details of both the videostream and audiostream...

[speck]

Video:
1920 x 1080 Pixels
13155 KBPS

Audio:
384 kbps

Audio Format:
AC3


I've completed the conversion now. I used AVS Video converter 6.3 but the audio seems slighly flat to my ears. The Video is all good though. What do you use setarip?

What is the video format?

What is the video format?


If your asking me is it NTSC or PAL I have no idea & windows media player doesn't say. But according to the AVS program "Video Compression: H.264/AVC" which means nothing to me

To get that on DVD, index it with DGAVCIndex, crop and resize as necessary in Avisynth (factoring in that you're going from 1:1 PAR to the PAR corresponding to 16:9), then feed it to HCEnc (remembering to add pulldown as appropriate) and author it with Muxman. That audio is already DVD-compliant. Skip all the "all-in-one" ffmpeg ripoffs because they rarely use settings appropriate to get acceptable quality at a given filesize; this is because they are made by rank amateur programmers looking for a quick buck and not above ripping off the hard work of the ffmpegf/x264/etc. developers. By the way, since it matters for the ability of DGAVCIndex to function, how did you make the M2TS file?

Now that you've let us know that the video format is H.264/AVC, I can suggest to you that you should be able to use "DVD Flick", in the manner described in the following posts from the "DVD Flick" Forum:

I have already try it. My HD video (1920x1080, 24 or 30p, h264 as AVCHD MTS files) was recognized and converted beautifully by DVDflick 1.3.07vixensjlin

Thanks to all those that answered constructively.

I also have successfully converted the M2TS file with no problems. Even though you have to select 'all files' in the input file selection dialog box it still works. Thanks again.

Since you've openly stated that: "Video Compression: H.264/AVC" which means nothing to me I too feel compelled to ask, as did "Inspector.Gadget, how did you make this .M2TS file?

BTW: What do you use setarip?Other than one experimental down-conversion, I don't do this. I make backups of all of my purchased HD discs and play them in their glorious original resolution ;>}

Would you mind dumbing this down abit? I have found the programs you are referring to but I am a bit lost as to what I should be doing.


@setarip_old

I found DVD flick but it does not seem to give me much control over the conversion which is what I didn't like about AVS
:thanks:
