Sony mts 60i files convert to 24p?

how would you do the hd conversion with least quality loss
thx

In that case, you have two options: do it in Compressor, or use a third-party software such as Nattress Standards Conversion. Compressor has the obvious advantage of being free-- Nattress will almost always give you better results.

Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

Since installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
Somebody else the same problem?

I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.

What recommendations do you have for converting AVCHD Sony .mts files to apple .m4v movies?

I have a 3 yo Sony HD camcorder that records HD movies in AVCHD (.mts) format. I can view, edit and combine these movies on my Windows 7 PC w the Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser). PMB can convert any clip to make a SD or HD Blu Ray disc. However for viewing on other computers, it will only convert my .mts movies to a .mov or .wmv format.
I would like to convert these .mts files to apple mpeg-4 ( .m4v) files, for ease of viewing on apple AND/OR windows laptops/desktops and to allow my friends/family the ability to edit or combine these movie clips on their iMac w iMovie.
Do you have any "pay" or shareware or freeware products that you recommend? I don't want a super complex or super expensive program, rather something that is relatively simple and easy to use and that converts it to .m4v within a reasonable amount of time.
Recommendations?

Its confusing but iMovie '11 (the version that came with iLife 2011) is iMovie version 9.
I think .m2ts files will work the same as .mts files. The program in the link is free for what you want to do so you could thy this out. I have never used it myself so I can't vouch for it. I searched under ".mts to .m4v converter" and it came up with this. You can probably find other options if you Google around.
As I indicated iMovie '11 won't import 'bare' .m2ts files, only iMovie 10 (the Mavericks version) can do that but it should accept .m4v. I don't remember wheter .m4v is an output option but .mov certainly is.
I had assumed that you wanted to do more detailed editing in iMove but if you only want to trim it then indeed you don't need to use iMovie at all.
.m4v is not the only format which is cross-platform. I think .mov is OK on Windows if you have Quicktime installed (though I don't use Windows at all).
I hope this helps,
Geoff.

Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files. Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera

Have new macbook pro 13". Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera. I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files. Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
Thanks, chieftd

Well, sigh, that's not going to work.
I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera. So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless). The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for. One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it.

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

As Kirk says, if you have your camera, you can attach it directly.
Further, if you preserved the entire file structure of your camera (not just the .mts files, but also the folders on the camera), then you can import from that via FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE.
When you import from a camera, it is recommended that you keep a camera archive so you always have the originals available.
If you have the .mts files out of context, you will need a third party app to convert. Two that I know of are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. You should convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec. And then use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.

Which .mts file converter do you use?

I have a new iMac desktop (10.6.4) that I got for Christmas. I have a canon HD camcorder that records in .mts mode. I have spent hours upon hours to figure out the following:
a) iMovie 11 will not transport .mts files
b) The .mts files must be converted in order to be used on the mac
With that said, which .mts file converter are you guys using? Everyone I found costs $35.00, and I don't mind paying the fee, but is there one that is better than the others? For instance, I have found iorgsoft, moyea mts, MTS converter (which I have downloaded and seems to work ok, but it's a trial version and you can only see the first minute of the video).
Which one is the best? Is there a free option that will suffice?
I want to transfer the files to .mp4 or whatever so I can upload into iMovie '11 and burn them to a DVD. Thanks everyone!

Handbrake is free and will convert the many types of .mts files

Sony mts-files

I have 3 problems with Sony mts-files (resolution 1440 1080).
1) When I export this files in premiere pro cs6 to avi uncompressed files (same resolution) they become 100 times bigger!! From 180 Mb to 20 GB. You can't play them.
2) When I export this files in premiere pro cs6 to mp4 (same resolution), they are the same size (180 Mb) and they should be much smaller.
3) When I export this files in premiere pro cs6 to dvd (mpeg-2 dvd), the image gets distorted.
It looks like 2 frames combined together all the time.

1. That's normal.
2. Not necessarily. File size depends upon bitrate and duration, nothing else.
3. Possibly a field order issue. Make sure you're exporting Upper Field First, same as your media. (Make sure the sequence is also UFF.)

Logic Express - converting Sony Acid (.acd) files

Hi There
Does any body know of a good audio convertor programme that will convert my old Sony Acid audio files into MP3 or other audio file type that I will be able to play on my Mac? I have had a look on line but most convertors don't seem compatible with Macs and don't seem able to support .acd files.
Any help on this greatly appreciated
Many thanks!

AVCHD (MTS) video files thumbnails previews

Hello,
How can I have video thumbnail previews for my AVCHD (Mts) video files in Premiere, After Effects?
I can preview alla the other formats but not the above one.
Thank you.

cdlansford
Hunt is correct in that the video codec AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7. A variety of converters were used in those days before Premiere Elements 7 (because of AVCHD non support) and after versions 7 - 9 because of the resource demands of the AVCHD editing in those programs.
Typically the converters in those days took the AVCHD to a MPEG2 HD.mpg form. The most popular one at the time was the free Koyote Soft HD converter. You may want to check it out and determine if it would work for you.
http://www.koyotesoft.com/video-software/free-hd-converter.html
As I recall there were a lucky few at the time who had Sony Vaio computers which offered an add on for AVCHD support in Premiere Elements 4 running on a particular Sony Vaio computer.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder for use on Final Cut Pro X?

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts files for use with Final Cut Pro?

This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

Hi
b Summary of problem:
*I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
*I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
*I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
b HOWEVER...
*I can edit same footage in PRE7
*This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
*I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
*Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
*PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
*OS: Vista 64 bit
b Detail:
I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
Please someone help before I lose the plot.
Thanks
Patrick

Hi
I'd just like to add an update to this post.
b Summary:
*K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
*Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
*You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
b Detail:
As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
*Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
*Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
*Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5. I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work. I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files. I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not. Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Sony .MTS final cut x

I am thoroughly disappointed that Apple hasn't been speaking to Sony (if needed) to finally resolve this issue of .MTS video files created by many consumer camcorders so that we can finally import, edit and use these expensive video editing suits that Apple is so keen to have us purchase. When I purchased my Macbook in 2010 I specified Final Cut Express, and was absolutely devastated that the archived .MTS files on an external HD are as good as useless!
Sorry for the rant folks, I am just simply frustrated beyond belief, any thoughts or assistance would be much appreciated, I just wish I didn't have to sit there transcoding into H.264 when I am not 100% sure that I am getting the exact quality that was in the original .MTS file.

I agree with you completely! I have YEARS worth of mts files that I can watch native on my ps3 or on my iPad with a $1.99 app that streams them perfectly! Why they can't be simply imported into final cut pro x after all this time is rather ridiculous!

MTS video files

How do I import MTS video files from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX160E into Premiere Elements Quick Editor?

Welcome to the forum.
Until just the other day, I had never heard of PrE Quick Editor, but it seems to be a limited program, sold from the App Store, for a Mac.
There might be some tips that can be extrapolated from this recent thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1272658?tstart=30
Not specific to MTS files, the OP was trying to locate their media files in other folders, than those indicated by PrE Quick Editor. The extrapolation would indicate that the program definitely wants the media files in those specific folders.
If PrE Quick Editor will handle MTS files, I would Copy the entire folder structure, with the media files (all folders), to the My Videos folder, and then Import the media files from there. I do not know if PrE Quick Editor has the same naming conventions, as PrE 11 does, but in PrE 11, one would use Add Media.
Good luck,
Hunt
