Tutorial for Converting AVCHD (mts) Files into HD mpeg 2
7 months ago
For those who want to edit your mts files in programs that doesn´t support AVCHD yet (like Premiere Pro), Here's a way to do it without loosing quality.
in this tutorial the final file will be WMV HD @ 4000 kbps, of course you can set the final H.264 @ 4000 kbps. both are really good for vimeo .
Hope this helps you getting awesome quality footage from your HG10 :)

cannot open the file 0009.MTS, any idea?
must be a codec problem... try to install GOM PLAYER, and see if the MTS files play with no problem.
or Re-install the full version of TempEnc.
try to install this in this order : 1st: GOM Player and try to play the MTS files. 2nd: fddshow codec pack 3rd: Tempenc and see if it works now....
Just wanted to say that I've been going through your video here over and over. I resently purhcased a HG-10 and completely forgot about the AVCHD conversion I've been looking for a wile now and came accross your incredable explenation. I'll be purchasing the programs and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from there.
Anyways, great walthrough video. Thank you for taking the time to do such a great explenation. I'll give it a try once I get the programs and if I get stuck I may bug youa gain.
It's nice helping with the conversion so people can really enjoy the HG10 camera and get the best quality with it!
Check you pvt message for editing program.
Thanks
Bud
You’re going to love your camera once you figure the conversion and what editing program fits you.
Check you pvt message for editing program...
The good thing about GOM player is because when you try to play a file that you don't have the codec installed in your computer that the GOM player pop's up a window that says that you don't have that codec installed and asks if you want to install it. So, when you try to play the MTS file with GOM player doesn't pop up any window? What version do you have? You can also try to install VLC media player that also plays MTS files... Do you have any editing software installed? Are u running on windows or Mac?
Vou ver se converto meu mts video agora :)
brigadao
fiz com o camstudio configurado na melhor qualidade!
Valeu Bro!
whats wrong? help me
Cheers
Only program that seems to convert M2TS (not MTS) files is ProCoder, but I lose lots of the video quality!
Bravo to you my friend and thanks for your help. As you know I had trouble with TMPGEnc importing mts files. Their tech dept was no help with this.
After a lot of searching around I was able to get TMPGEnc to work after installing "K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.0 Full" version for free. Comes with a great player too for quick viewing of converted files. Google is great when you know what to look for. TMPGEnc even did a great job with only 128 vid card memory on my laptop. I went through this tutorial again with great success. I did already have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 free trial that does import and edit MTS files but there is a lot less control over the edited video output settings as compared to Premier Pro from what I see here. I am thinking hard about PP as my editor.
I am so happy now I could LOL. The HG 10 is awesome and you have made the tools available to get the most out of it. Do you shoot in LP, SP, XP or HXP with the HG 10?
Thanks again for showing us the way.
Bud
I'm really glad that you could get things working with your HG10! Now it's really easy to shot, edit and upload.
Yeah, i have also Sony Vegas but love premiere pro it's a huge difference... so many options!
Once you start working with Premiere pro you'll learn so many things that you can do with it!
It's quite a heavy program... upgrading for a good Desktop when you have the chance will help you a lot...
I always shot HXP @ 25 fps, only in some time lapse i use XP mode.
Appreciate you comment Bud and can´t wait for your videos!
i follow your instructions exactly, but it outputs a .m2t!! which premiere elements cannot handle.
please help.
hmmm, ok. i accepts the m2t file, but the video starts with a red frame, then ends with green!! any idea what is happening here? this ruins the beginning and end of the clip.

Im folling everything youdo butmy video is not smooth
your good with tutorials
thank you in advance.
There's a part in this tutorial that i explain how to export from premiere pro with good quality, if you want to export direct from PP for uploading in Vimeo Just edit all in PP and when finished export as WMV, set the quality to maximum and play with the bit rate for the final video file :)
I bought sr12e but I coudn't edit my videos in adobe,
vegas 8.0 can do but I don't like it, so thank you man.
Thank you Bro!!!
I will definitely accept the invitation one day! ehehe!
I just returned yesterday from Costa Rica and Panama and will upload some awesome videos soon!
tiago my camera can record 1920*1080 hd, may I have to change it from 1440*1080 to 1920*1080 or not?
No, just edit all in 1920x1440 (with the 1920x720 program preset) and when you finish you editing just convert it to 1280x720 to upload in Vimeo. Keep the final 1920x1440 cause it has perfect quality.
Cheers man!
My TMPGEnc files only output m2t. How do I output mpeg? Your demo shows you are creating m2t, then like magic you have mpeg.
If I play the m2t file it is jumpy. I am using a Canon HF100 1920x1080.
m2t is an extension for mpeg2. after exporting you can simply rename it to mpeg.
I don't think the jumpy is related to the m2t extension...
Do some tests to figure it out... anything just ask :)
Something is definitely wrong because a 40 sec video should take 30 sec to convert! are you converting into the mts into WMV, because WMV takes longer... that's why i convert the mts into mpeg2 for the editing and only convert the final video to WMV for uploading in Vimeo...
Make a few tests and give me your feedback :)
is there ANY other converters that can do this (convert without loosing much quality)?
Comprei uma HG10. Fiz alguns vídeos e agora queria editá-los.
Só que agora não consigo converter os ficheiros em mpeg para posteriormente editá-los e fazer vídes fantásticos.. :)
Será que me podias dar algums dica?
Obrigada. Patrícia Portugal
para converter precisas desse programa (TempEnc Xpress 4.0) basta seguires este tutorial. podes tambem usar o sony vegas pro 8.0 que aceita ficheiros AVCHD (mts). se tiveres alguma duvida onde arranjar os programas avisa-me que posso dar uma ajuda...
1. I downloaded the trial version of TMPGENC 4.0 XPRESS
2. I downloaded K-Lite Codec Pack FULL version 3.9.3
After all that was installed I made sure to restart the computer and I was finally able to add files into tmpgenc.
BTW, when I was installing the K-LITE it asks you whether you want to delete DIVIX and some other files. I clicked YES because then it installs new ones so have no fear. Also, I selected the DEFAULT installation.
Good Luck and have fun.
- In the start menu go to folder k-lite codec pack/configuration and run ffdshow video decoder
- in the codec tabs check the first entry H.264/AVC: if it's disabled click on it and change it to libavcodec.
Note if you have coreAVC installed don't do this (you don't need to do anything).

Not great but I had no clue what I was doing.
- This is not lossless... You do lose little bit of quality but close enough for most I'd say
- Why double-framerate progressive? Why not leave it same as original?
- You will get better quality for vimeo typically using 2 pass peak/average
this for the Mac?
Pal is so much easier!!! I’m also a Pal user and there's nothing like shooting is 25p. So the essential thing in shooting in Pal is shoot in 25p, it's already progressive so you don´t need to deinterlace it, so in the deinterlace options choose don´t deinterlace. when exporting choose the mpeg2 codec with 1280x720 25 fps progressive @ 25.000 bitrate.
you’ll have a perfect quality mpeg2 video...
Cheers!
Any tips for Mac Users?
Thank you...
