  • Encode Video to 1920×1080, H.264, 50 fps, 28 mbit/s…. How?

    Hi everyone!

    I have a little problem:

    We just got the Sony NEX FS100 and I finally had to let go of my beloved Ulead Media Studio Pro. So I got Vegas Pro instead and now i have to figure out the best workflow for editing.

    The thing is: The Sony puts out MTS files with H.264, 50fps and 28 mbit/s. I can edit those files in Vegas – no problem. Unfortunately Windows does not play them in WMP, but i can rewrap them to MOV and then they work fine – on Windows, Mac and in Vegas.

    My only problem is: Once I have edited the videos in Vegas, i want to export them in exactly the same format as the source files. So that they are identical with the files that i dont need to edit.

    And here I failed so far – i can’t find the possibility to export a MTS or MOV with exactly the same specs as the input files.

    Anyone an idea that could help me?

    Thanks a lot!

    Stefan

    Have you tried both the Sony AVC and MainConcept AVC encoders? You may be able to create a custom template that gets close. The problem is that there are too many camera formats for any software to support them all. There is also usually no reason for video editing software to export camera formats. The workflow is, import camera formats, edit, and export delivery formats. You should be able to get close with one of those two AVC encoders.

    Thank you!

    I was actually able to manipulate the MainConcept AVC encoder by manually changing the frame rate to 50 fps – even though the standard options only go up to 29.97. but i checked the result and it seems to be fine.

    Great that’s good to know that the MainConcept AVC code worked for you. Thanks for reporting back.
