I'm documenting info about the camcorder in a Google Doc. The doc's currently here http://docs.google.com/View?id=dgzqtfqh_178dpxjtmfr
I installed the latest ffmpeg and the codecs it needed then used the following commands to convert from .m2ts to .mp4
- ffmpeg -deinterlace -i 00000.m2ts -an -pass 1 -vcodec libx264 -vpre fastfirstpass -b 15000000 -bt 15000000 -threads 0 -f mp4 -y /dev/null
- ffmpeg -deinterlace -i 00000.m2ts -ac 2 -ar 48000 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -pass 2 -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -b 15000000 -bt 15000000 -threads 0 test07c.mp4
I uploaded the resulting video to YouTube and it became a HD video there. I'll test with mobile, both on YouTube and our web pages and see what works best for us.
