Handbrake guru?

[Morbidos]

Hey guys! 

 

I need some guidance with Handbrake if anyone feels capable... I want to use Handbrake to batch convert all my recordings from MTS to h.264 (MP4) but (open to other suggestins both on format and programs) and I need help with setting up handbrake to give me maximum quality, also is there a way to reveal the command line version of a preset, I have been looking into dropfolders to automate the process but it requires the CLI command as the standard preset it uses messes up the quality... I have looked into the CLI doc's but I guess im not smart enough to make sense of it...

 

I use Premiere to edit my movies and for some reason it just removes the audio on the MTS files... even the adboe converter messes up this... so if anyone has an suggestion as to what to convert to, that is better than h.264 I am open to that to.. as long as premiere can handle it...

Here is a perfect example of what my problem is, when i convert in Handbrake i get these lines that you can see on my hand

 

It's as if handbrake can't handle the movement... this happens even when I blink my eyes... looks terrible

The only thing I (think) know is that that is the effect of something being like 1080i and not 1080p.

Dont know if it is i conveted to p or p converted to i.
dont know how to fix it either.

Have you checked on Google? There's an entire discussion on the Adobe forums why MTS files sometimes have problems with sound in Premiere.

Yes and I have tried theyre solutions, nada works... bout >this< far from investing in a camera that does not record in MTS... i can change to mp4 on the one i have but I'll only get 720...

You have to use these settings

 

 

It will enable the yadif deinterlacer which will output 1 frame per field 60i -> 60p

If you change the Preset back to default you'll get 1 frame per frame 60i -> 30p

 

yadif is very fast and will give a quality which is ok for most purposes. 

 

If you mouse over "extra options" handbrake will display all encoder settings except for the chosen crf

 

If you have enough disk space and if it is supported by adobe you could use h264 lossless -> crf=0 and encoder profile and encoder level = auto

 

Otherwise you could check out ffmpeg
