Proper FFmpeg code to convert AVCHD 1080i Format to WMV files.
The image size of the input file is 1440 x 1080 and I would like to keep it in HD if at all possible as I am going to make DVDs from these videos.
I have FFmpeg on my system and have used it once or twice before so I know that I need it in the folder I am going to use and I need a .bat file as well.
Please note, I want to convert several files at one time using the .bat file.
I have Windows Vista, 32 Bit, AMD 64, achlonx2 dual core processor, Nvidia Gforce 6150SE video card, 3gig memory and I use Windows Movie Maker to edit the video.
Thank you.
2You know that DVDs aren't HD, right? PAL DVDs have a height of 576 lines (pixels), and NTSC have 480 lines. So that part of the process will require downscaling, at least. – evilsoup – 2013-04-23T14:52:12.677
...also, can't Windows Movie Maker output to WMV? I think that ffmpeg can encode WMV, but not the latest versions, and I don't know how good the ffmpeg WMV encoder is... unless you have a specific need for WMV, in general you'd be better off using h264 video in an MP4 – evilsoup – 2013-04-23T16:55:32.697
1The videos were recorded in .m2ts format using a Sony camera and I need to convert that into .WMV so that I can work with it in the Windows Movie Maker to edit and make the DVDs. – BHR856 – 2013-04-23T18:05:33.063
