AVI to AVCHD convert

Hello All,
I would like to use Elements to convert very large AVI clips to the smaller AVCHD clips.  But I don't want to do them one at a time.  Is there a way to mantain the clips and save all the AVI clips to AVCHD clips with elements?
Thanks,
Sean

Before I moved to PRE I was using "Magix Movies on DVD'". I kept it installed for a few nice features that PRE doesn't have:
Batch Processing
Saving each object as a single clip (i.e. I use its splitter tool to make multiple scenes - I can then save each scene (losslessly if to same format) to a separate file. This saves me all the hassle of using PRE one segment at a time with the Work Area Bar (so tedious !).
The version I use was v7, bundled with the Magix Rescue you Videotapes v1. It has some nice features - including several from their Audio Cleaning Lab product (an amazingly cheap but essential product for cleaning audio tracks for your projects).
There are a shedload of other conversion programs around. For example I have the following installed:
[EDIT: writing this post has shown I have way too many , so I've stopped at  the letter 'F', I must check'em all and remove ones I no longer use ].

  • Editing AVCHD footage - AVCHD Converter needed !

    Hey everyone,
    I'm working with a new camcorder recording in 1920x1080 HD AVCHD (*.mts).
    Since editing avchd material nativ requires loads of cpu speed, I'm looking
    for a AVCHD converter which provides good quality and file speed.
    I guess the size doesnt really matter.
    I've tried Canopus AVCHD Converter, but I'm not sure if thats the best
    possible tool as well as workin fine with CS4.
    (What format should AVCHD be converted to?)
    I'd really appreciate a few answers on how to speed up the HD workflow!
    Best,
    Alex

    Another way you could do it, although more expensive is to use a Cineform product.
    I have a SONY Handycam which will accept a 16GB memory chip and use a relatively outdated machine (Ie quad core AMD with xppro) and Cineform Prospect HD along with Premiere Pro CS3.
    Prospect has a capture, conversion module (HD Link), which won't capture AVCHD files, but if I record the HD video to the chip instead of the hard drive of the camera, I can then insert the chip into a USB chip reader and the HD Link will directly  convert the AVCHD files from the chip into Cineform .AVI files  and save them onto the computer HD which can then be edited in CS3.
    There is a minor problem with the alpha channel which can be worked around using quicktime files.
    I've never looked at the Cineform product Neo Scene HD, but it may be cheaper.  I'm not sure if Neo Scene converts the AVCHD files.

  • Combine avi with Avchd files in Premiere elements 10

    I am trying to make a DVD using clips that were taken with my old camcorder which was DV, and using clips from my new camcorder which is AVCHD.  Premiere elements 10 lets me do this, but it appears that my HD files are not the same quality as what I see just looking at the clip with the camera directly hooked to the TV.  A dialouge box comes up and states when I bring the DV clips into the project that it will reduce the quality to standard definition.   Is there  a way to combine these types of files in the same project and keep the HD quality of the new clips?

    You are already spoilt by seeing your HD stuff!
    I think you will find that the normal old standard DVD player never showed the full capability that stadard def was capable of. You had to get a $1000 player to see it as it really is. So it was never quite as good as component video straight from the camera or seeing it captured on your computer.
    Good Blue Ray players play old DVD much better because they are getting everything off the disk that it is capable of.
    BlueRay will overtake DVD in the reasonable near future like DVD overtook VCRs so you should make a Blue Ray disk for the future. If other viewers still need DVD you can make a DVD from the HD project.
    To make a Blue Ray--
    Buy and install a Blue Ray burner in your computer (less than $100)
    Setup as a FullHD project 1920x1080 25frames interlaced (or 30 for USA)
    Import both clips where you want them. AVI and AVCHD mix well
    Sharpening the avi clips a little helps make up for the loss in resolution
    Share to a Blue REay disk (make sure the blank disk is fast enough for the burner because Adobe burns only at full speed. If using slower disks then share as a file and use another program to burn the disk (see other posts on this)
    To make a DVD (before you buy the BD burner), make anopther copy of your projrct and add about 20% sharpening and share the above project to DVD. It looks a bit poor on your TV but will look pretty well as good as an original DVD made form the AVI clips when viewed on your TV
    To make a DVD only, first convert the AVCHD to AVI and sharpen them then make a normal DVD project as everything will now be AVI. The origimnal AVI clips will be better but the HD will obviously be only one quarter of the resolution.
    I recently made such a DVD from my Sony $1000 FullHD camera and the DVD copy when played on my Pioneer Blue Ray player on the TV was just as good as old DVDs made with my previous Sony $1800 Widescreen SD camera. The Blue Ray copy of course was brilliant!
    The amout of sharpening involves personal preference and depends on how sharp the original material is.
    People wilth good eyesight might see it as oversharpening whereas it can look great to those less foertunate or old people not wearing their glasses!
    While they may have a reasonable resolution for file detail, some HD cameras dont have a good "depth of resolution" at mid frequencies that represent the upper limit of fine detail for SD cameras. When downsized to SD, the picture from the HD camera can actually be fuzzier than an old SD camera that was tweaked up to look sharp on an old TV.
    So you have to add this extra tweaking to comnpensate (a bit like turing up the audio treble control to hear the snare drums on a portable radio)
    If destined for viewing on a TV set, the limit of sharpening is where the edges of objects start to crinkle excessively or the video noise becomes excessive. This should be evaluated only on the TV where it will finally be shown and at the TV viewing distance (not on a computer and not too close up)
    To avoid wasting blank disks you can make a test disk of the same few scenes with different amounts of sharpening. Try a long shot, mid shot and closeup as the subjecvt material also influences the eye's perception of sharpness.

    what makes you thinking that?
    avi is just a media-container, a 'wrapper', no format, no codec.
    depending on what codec(s) are in use, iDVD or other DVD-creator-apps can transcode 'out of the box'.
    teaching the Quicktime-engine new codecs is done by the free tool www.perian.org
    if your files need conversion, the free tool Mpeg Streamclip is highly recommended.
    paying licences is only needed, when wmv is in use - Microsoft likes to get paid, if you use its proprietary codecs outside Windows (flip4mac is a MS-owned company).
    most $$ converters on the market are based upon the free ffmpeg-library, so you pay for a nice GUI, some one-click-convenience. but the free tools, mentioned above, do same ...

  • How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

    Status:
    - Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
    - I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
    Problem:
    - I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
    Question:
    - Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
    - I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
    Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
    Thanks for any help.

    Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

  • AVi to Flash converter

    Can anyone recommend a cheap, preferably free, conversion app
    to convert my
    .avi files to flash video or swf ( not quite sure what the
    differences are ,
    could do with enlightening).
    I wish now I had taken the Macromedia u/g to studio offer
    that they put out
    before Adobe got their hands on DW, now the u/g to studio is
    way beyond what
    I can justify, plus I'm hoping that Photoshop get some
    integration with DW
    and FW replaces ImageReady in the next version.
    TIA

    I'm so sorry - I've just been looking and although I didn't

    (they certainly make it difficult to find) I'll take your
    word for it.
    Sorry Hywel - any chance of upgrading to DW8?

  • Using Seagate Goflex hard drive to play AVI movies without converting?

    Hi, I have bought a Seagate Goflex satellite hard drive, I would like to store my AVI movies on it and then play them on my iPad 2. I have tried various ways, is it absolutely necessary to convert them to iPad format first?
    I know I can use various apps to watch AVI movies that are transferred to my iPad using i tunes but I would like to know if there is an app that will allow me to watch AVI movies from my Seagate hard drive as I don't want to use all my space on my iPad for movies, hence the purchase of the hard drive.
    Help???

    I BOUGHT PQI AIRBANK + AND HELP ME TO USE WITHOUT CONVERTING MOVIES. WICH APP CAN PLAY WITHOUT CONVERT. I BOUGHT ALSO BUZZPLAYER AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SET UP.
    PLEASE ANY HELP

  • Avi to flv converter?

    Hi, I've been trolling the internet for a 100% free video converter, not something that's freeware/shareware but requires a license. I have a big need to convert my avi's and mp4's into flv so that they don't eat up as much of my sites bandwidth a month. Can anyone recommend something 100% free, I just laid out the cash I had on final cut so paying for more software isn't idea at this point and time.

    in addition to David's excellent advice... :
    flv is just a container; it became famous due to YouTubes success; but YT used the old-fashioned VP6 video-codec for compression; since Flash10, flv allows latest h264 inside (Davids advice); actually, YT offers h264 encoded material and actually converts to html5/no flv ...
    but you'll notice actually a 'switch', away from flv to html5, e.g. most mobile-devices (smartphones from Nokia, LG etc, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad) don't support this 'power eating format', and turn to more elegant and much faster/smaller html5/< video > tag + h264 ...
    it's all about compatibility and market shares
    .. flv isn't perhaps not future-proof ...

  • AVCHD converted to ProRes via FCP's Log & Transfer --does ProRes retain TC?

    Looking for any users who have imported AVCHD using FCP's Log & Transfer and converted to ProRes. Was your original camera timecode retained? Or was each of your clip's timecode reset to zero?
    More specifically, there are hopefully new users of Sony's NX5U out there shooting AVCHD with a choice of two modes...PCM audio or Dolby audio. Have you been able to successfully transcode to Pro Res in each instance while still retaining camera timecode?
    This can be a dealbreaker for someone like myself who works with a lot of documentary footage and is potentially a buyer of the new Sony camera. If I discover that virtually no one can get AVCHD successfully converted to ProRes with original timecode, it may tilt me to buying the EX-1 whose co-dec is a native one for Final Cut.
    Thanks for any help you can offer...John

    I don't know about this camera but most AVCHD do not record continuous timecode but only record timecode on each clip starting at zero. If you set I/O in the L&T window the timecode portion selected in that clip will transfer to FCP.

  • Generate AVI files. Convert in AVI from MOV. QUICKTIME PRO??

    Hi,
    First of all, I'd like to ask you an apology if my problem has been solved in another post, but I couldn't find it.
    I have an AVI file and I’d like to add the subs (srt file) My idea was to open the AVI file with a program, to add the file and finally to generate a new AVI file with the subs included.
    I had the wrong idea that with Quicktime I could make that, but after several intentions I have realized that I haven’t the Quicktime Pro, what I have is Quicktime X and with this version is not possible to generate an AVI file the way I need.
    I have read a few posts about the differences between Quicktime 7 Pro and Quicktime X, and before thinking in buy the Quicktime 7 Pro license, I want to know if it will make what I want.
    I also need to convert a MOV file into an AVI file or another smaller which I could share by email. I prefer AVI format because all users (MAC & WINDOWS) can play it.
    I am not sure if the Quicktime 7 Pro is the better solution for me. Maybe you know another program which I can get what I need.
    Thank you in advance, best regards.

    If you are also running the 3ivX codec module and the movie is a DivX AVI, then you you may need to run the file through 3ivX's DivX Doctor II. This utility updates DivX .avi videos to 3ivX QT (.mov) videos. (This assumes other files still play correctly with audio.)
    http://www.3ivx.com/divxdoctor/
    "After the conversion you will be able to play the video smoothly, and the audio glitches inherent in the AVI format will be fixed" -- according to the 3ivX site.
