awesome! thanks tiago!

thanks for taking the time to be so thorough! It's very much appreciated. Cheers.

i try to import files and i get this error:

cannot open the file 0009.MTS, any idea?

what about getting the 24f? Where would I go for that?

Hi Tiago,

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.

I just got the Canon HG 10. I love the camera but was close to taking it back because my Pinnacle Studio wouldn't edit the video files. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction. Awesome job. I'll be investing in some software soon. Untill then I've got the HDD space to film and save before editing the clips.
Thanks
Bud

Hi Tiago -- many thanks, but I'm also having the same problem. I downloaded the GOM player and coudn't play mts files created with the HG10. I then downloaded the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress (trial version, which should be the same as the purchased version), then I tried downloading the ffdshow codec pack. Nothing seems to be working. I'm not the most computer-literate person, so it's likely I'm screwing something up. Is there a specific folder where I should download the codec to? Thx! -Robb

WOW, very nice Tiago. HEY como voce fez esse tutorial com essa FReaking wondeful qualidade?
Vou ver se converto meu mts video agora :)

brigadao

Tiago, when I add AVCDH mts file to the program it says I only can add the sound :(

whats wrong? help me

I found the problem it was the codec :) nw works good . Tks

Anyone know how to convert mts files to mpeg using Mac?

hey, I just got this camera, but Sony Vegas 8 doesnt seem to open MTS or M2TS files, GOM player doesnt play MTS, and I also installed TMPGE trial, and when I drag the file, the program just closes and gives an error message.

Only program that seems to convert M2TS (not MTS) files is ProCoder, but I lose lots of the video quality!

Tiago,
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

how did you get tmpgenc to encode to .mpg???

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.

My final video is really jumpy . . . why is this?
Im folling everything youdo butmy video is not smooth

I sorted out the video problem i was having but the audio isnt working. What setting do i need to have for the audio? . . . anyone????

thx, it helped a lot!
your good with tutorials

could you do a tutorial of how to upload good quality videos using adobe premiere pro? if you get a chance please.


thank you in advance.

tiago you are my man, if you want to visit turkey, I will your guide I promise.

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.

tiago my camera can record 1920*1080 hd, may I have to change it from 1440*1080 to 1920*1080 or not?

which version of adobe premiere do you have Tiago?

Hi. Nice tutorial. I have a problem though.
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.

Thx Tiago, renaming to mpeg works. Also, changing my codecs fixed the jumpy video.

Yikes - I did this, and it took TMPGEnc 22 minutes to convert a 40-second .mts file!! And I have a fast computer (Vista 64, Q6600, 8gb RAM, raptor drive)... any ideas?

Yeah, I'm having some bizarre problems with TMPGEnc Xpress, in that it just won't work for me. I tried uninstalling most of my codecs and doing a fresh install, and for some reason I only get a green screen now. Not sure what is up. Elecard Converter Studio works, but I'd prefer to use this... I guess I'll just have to keep fiddling with it

I have same problem with green screen.

is there ANY other way for doing this without using TMPGEnc , my trial for TMPGEnc is over and before when the trial wasnt over I couldnt use it!

is there ANY other converters that can do this (convert without loosing much quality)?

Olá, Tiago.
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

Tiago is Sony Vegas Platinum a good option to edit and burn my files? Thanks for your help.

Thank you soooooo much for this tutorial. I tried everything you said but it really was not working to be honest with you. I was about to return the video camera and wait a few months until some good programs come out. Anyway, here is how it finally started to work for me:

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.

Ok, here is the problem that I am having...after loading up my newly downloaded Premiere Pro, it looks somewhat different. here is a screen shot and it confuses me for some reason

s25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/jerseyscape/?action=view¤t=kamiljpg.jpg

I used VEGAS instead of PP (but still would like to use PP)...here is the first video that i did.

vimeo.com/1031109

Not great but I had no clue what I was doing.

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew where I could read up on file formats. I realized I do a lot of stuff but when it comes to conversions I am completely dependent on tutorials like this. Do you know where i could find info on this stuff for someone who has no clue beyond the obvious? I just want to be able to convert things wisely on my own beyond just getting it to be able to play on WMP or VLC or whatever you use.

Nice tutorial. Some comments:

- 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

Thanx a million, your english is good. Is there anything like
this for the Mac?

hey great tutorial really helped alot, but if i do it like you said, the converted video shows sometimes black pixels and the quality in motion is reduced ^^

Great! Any ideas why when I try to encode (based on this tutorial) my encoding stalls at 99% then does not finish? Has this happened to anyone else? How did you fix it?

Hi, I have purchased a Canon HF10 and I still have hard times converting its videos. On one hand the tutorial here only addresses NTSC users, it would be great Tiago if you would also provide some secrets for the PAL users when converting to m2t.

Great video that saved me for my visuals, but I'm getting no audio what so ever! All that comes out are pops and crakles! Is there anything I can do?

Thank you Tiago

Tiago, you do not need to apologize for your english... it is very good! The tutorial is GREAT!
Any tips for Mac Users?

This is a great tutorial, however I own a Mac. Is there anything like this program for Mac?

tiago could you tell me the name of the tracks music you were playing in the background while you did this tutorial...i really liked the Guitar sound...


Thank you...
