.MTS Files
Hey Folks…
Not sure if this is the right forum or not. We have a client who has about 19 hours of 1920x1080i .mts files that they want put on a DVD for viewing. Thought could just convert the files to .mov format and play out of FCP to a down and dirty Pioneer DVD recorder. I’ve tried 2 programs. Clipwrap and Voltaic. Clipwrap is fast, but the resulting “rewrapped” file has some lag issues. Voltaic end result looks great but it is very slow.
Does anyone have any other solutions that would get me a good result with speed? Or is there possibly some setting I’m missing with clipwrap?
Any help would be stellar!

The reason Clip Wrap is fast is because it’s just taking the file and putting it in a MOV container so it plays nicely-ish with QuickTime. During playback, QuickTime still has to decode it, hence the lag. Voltaic is transcoding, which is why it’s slow.
You can set ClipWrap to transcode, but it, too, will be slow.
19 hours is a lot and it won’t fit on one DVD so no matter which way you cut it (no pun intended) it’s not going to be a trivial task.
If the client comes back and says they want clips x, y and z from discs 2 and 3, organisation now may save time later

Thanks for the response. We knew it would be multiple DVD’s. Unfortunately, it looks like while Clipwrap is quicker, you pay for it when you take it to a dvd authoring program and it has to transcode it. So kind of damned if you do…
Might see if Toast 10 will do batching and just go with that.
