[Kdenlive-devel] Hi there!

[Evert Vorster]

Yup...

The way I produce this error directly is to have one AVCHD clip that playes
for the whole time...

Then I have have another clip that I put and "in-time" and an "Out-time"
through the clip window, and drag it to be above the one longer clip that is
already there.

The I crossfade and mute the new clip, so as to have the audio from the
longer clip and the video from the newer clip for a section.

The shorter, newer clip always plays at the wrong speed.

FYI, ffpeg still does not transcode AVCHD correctly...

when I issue:
ffmpeg -i file.mts file.mp4

What I expect is an mp4 of the same duration/resolution than the mts ( AVCHD
) file. The audio is the same duration, but the video plays at 50% of the
speed.
Of course, the bitrate is down to 200bps, so the video does not look too
good, but that does not matter in this case. It just highlights a bug.
I really have tried specifying frame rates of both input and output, but
nothing seems to convince ffmpeg that I really do have a video that is
recorded at 25fps with full hd.

I do not particularly like to transcode my source material, as you can never
get the quality back, but if I have to, I would use a tool like gmerlin,
which handles these files perfectly.

Thanks for all your help, btw.
Once the bugtracker accepts my application I'll do the bug reports properly.
Sorry for putting all this in the devel mailing list.

Kind regards,
-Evert Vorster-
