MTS to MOV Conversion

[Tim Allen] “I just think it’s silly that there doesn’t seem to be a single solution for all this.”
There is…and it has been mentioned to you. And I too agree with it and use it. ClipWrap2. Yes, it costs money, but it works. On ALL types of AVCHD formats. So why not use that? Because it costs money?

GETTING ORGANIZED WITH FINAL CUT PRO DVD…don’t miss it.

[Andy Mees] “C’mon Rafa, appreciate the loyalty buddy but many stalwart Final Cut Studio users also have (and regularly use) Adobe’s Production Suite too (for After Effects and Photoshop).. And anyway, just because someone suggests a commercial software solution outside of the immediate Apple Final Cut Studio apps does not make it bad advice. If Tim has Premiere and AME then he may appreciate Daniel’s tip.”
Andy, if you ask me how to fix your “Beef Stew” because is too salty, I won’t suggest you to kick the Beef Stew and buy a Lamb Shrank:-)
Is not about loyalty, is that “for a good HD upscaling, get a TERANEX”, is not the kind os suggestions that people comes here looking for.

PS: Shoot XDCAM instead of AVCHD, would be, IMHO, another unappropriated suggestion in this case:-) -
[Tom Wolsky] “If you have the wrapper that includes the mts files Final Cut will have no problem reading it. There is absolutely no reason and no excuse for the MPEG stream being separated from its folder structure.”
What is the proper structure? What files should be in the folder? Client just delivered to me a folder full of .m2ts and .m2ts.modd and .m2ts.moff files, but FCP Log and Transfer gives a Warning says the file “…contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.”
Episode burps on the m2ts file saying the h.264 is high profile and is unsupported.

.mts is not the same as .m2t. You might be able to convert it with MPEG Streamclip.
All the best,

the .m2ts file opened in MPEG Streamclip without video and upon transcoding said it couldn’t find the first video frame. ClipWrap seemed to turn it into a .mov file viewable in FCP and Compressor. 3-to-1 in Compressor quick cluster to transcode to full frame ProRes.
I guess there’s no other way to do it without ClipWrap???? -
Not if you don’t have the folder structure. The files really say .m2t? Where did they come from? What camera shot them?

[Tom Wolsky] “The files really say .m2t?
They say “.m2ts”
[Tom Wolsky] ” Where did they come from? What camera shot them?”
Good question. They did not supply that information.
[Tom Wolsky] ” Not if you don’t have the folder structure.”
What is the folder structure? i.e., what folders and files are suppose to be in there? Like in EX-XDCAM folders there is suppose to be certain files in the BPAV folder. If they’re not there, FCP won’t recognize the remaining. In a BPAV folder there is suppose to be two .XML files and a CLPR folder that has within it a folder for each clip. Inside that folder (e.g. “823_0091_01”) should be 5 files ending in MP4, SMI, PPN, SML, and BIM.

Shane, you’re a pretty horrible person – no need to start talking about attitudes is there? Tim is simply asking a question about how to put files from a camera onto a computer without having to loop the f**king loop (which is quite reasonable considering how much filming and editing equipment costs by itself).
Its like booking a holiday, paying for the flights, hotel, min bar, food, trip to f**king aqua land and then being told that you have to pay an entry fee when you arrive at passport control. Its complete bullshit and its yet another way big ass companies squeeze the moderate wage consumer.
Another thing. These forums are here to make sure people HELP each other – no ones making you post – so if you dont like what being said or if you’d rather just sigh and roll eye brows then dont post piss poor patronizing advice
bet you’re one of those guys that works in a camera shop and sniffs at customers who ask basic questions. then goes home and sucks his SD card slot on his camera for lack of #@$.

Calm down Hassan. I help more people a day than most people on the Cow. If they come with good attitudes, they are met with good attitudes.
Blame the camera makers who change the specs of the formats so often that editing systems are tasked with keeping up. There isn’t one AVCHD format…there isn’t a standard. There are about 5 different versions, and all require the software to be tweaked to work with them. One camera maker even released a camera that shoots a format that has no delivery medium….Panasonic made 1080p60. 60fps at 1080. TVs only play 30fps at 1080…that and 23.98. The web doesn’t do 60fps at 1080…nor BluRay. 720p60 is a standard…not 1080.
So some new formats won’t work in an NLE that hasn’t been updated for a couple years. But that’s why we have people like ClipWrap there to make sure that things can work.
Whatever…look through all my posts and see how I respond to people. 99% of the time it is with patience and kindness. But when people are snarky…I get snarky.

Just found this post as I was in the same position. Just downloaded FCPX trial. I do, however, Adobe CS5 suite. Just want to use FCP. Having said that, Adobe Media Encoder works!
Gracias
