  Mmpeg mts to mov – slow playback

  Posted by Owen Harvey on September 22, 2016 at 1:01 pm

  Hello.

  I have recently started using Resolve.

  With normal .MTS I was running at half res with smooth realtime playback, but there was no audio

  I used Mmpeg to rewrap to .mov using the following code:

  for %%a in (“*.mts”) do ffmpeg -i “%%a” “newfiles\%%~na.mov”
  pause

  The file size is a 3rd of what it was before, and in the Resolve, playback is terrible…..but audio is there 😛

  Am I doing the rewraping wrong? should I be using a codec or something?
  Please help.

  Thank you.

  Highly-compressed formats like MTS were generally intended to be delivery formats, not editing formats.

  My advice would be to transcode them to ProRes or DNxHD, which is a lot easier to deal with in post.

  Thank you Mark.

  i tried transcoding to Dnxhd, but found it a nightmare, so in the end went it Prores via “Xmedia recoder” and it was free 🙂
