| I want to covert all my videos (about 48 videos) into .avi or something standard. How can I do this?
2nd question, I want to have the highest quality possible and edit the file in Vegas. How can I do this? Keep in mind, I have already tried the method in this thread "Mini Guide - AVCHD to Anything Using DGAVCdec " (http://forum.videohelp.com/topic346331.html) and the video didn't play back properly. |

| Can't you edit avchd in latest vegas directly?
Didn't dgavcdec work? Then give us more details why it didn't work. |

| Record 5-10 seconds of video and post the .MTS file somewhere. Http://www.mediafire.com will host it for free. |

| Here is the file: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=bda9a833f6827997d2db6fb9a8902bda
After converting, please check if the sound is in sync/distorted, because this is the problem I had. |

| The video seems okay to me. I used the Vimeo batch process, found towards the bottom of the first post here:
http://forum.videohelp.com/topic346331.html Here's your file converted to h264 with AAC audio: sony_hdr-cxy_video.mp4 There is a bit of distortion on the audio. I'll demux the ac3 and look at the individual tracks. What audio and video formats are you converting to? Are you using VirtualDub ? Is there a level or sensitivity switch for the audio on that camera? |

| I am using virtual dub, and I am using __848x480_Deinterlaced_HQ_NTSC.bat
Did i do something wrong? Maybe I was doing something wrong. This is my procedure... I dragged the file into the unzipped folder I double clicked __848x480_Deinterlaced_HQ_NTSC.bat I open .avs file in virtual dub edit: I didn't know I was suppose to use virtual dub to save as a format. I thought virtual dub was a media player like VLC. edit: I don't see an option for saving as Mp4. I saved it as avi and it didn't play back properly. However, the video plays flawlessly on my camcorder. |

No, you did everything right. I see the error. For some reason, the AC3-WAV decoder is messing up the channels, making one side much louder and distorting. Here is your audio:
I'll see if I can tweak the settings to stop this from happening. Different cameras, different issues :roll: Give me a few hours and I'll see what I can do. |

| Ok, thank you for your help! |
| Soopafresh posted 2008 Aug 14 16:22 |
| Gimme a few hours. I'll see if I can fix it. |

| Try this version. I had to tweak the volume levels so it wouldn't distort and now there's balance between the audio channels. Give it a shot.

| Hey, sorry I haven't reply for so long. I've been swamped, let me give it a try now. |
| dmak02 posted 2008 Sep 27 12:49 |
| I just tested it with one of my videos, I hear a lot of static in the background. Is there a way to mass convert from this format to avi? It seems I have to open one by one in virtual dub after using the .bat to save as avi.. I have like 50 .mts videos. |

| I don't think there's anything else I can do to help you with your audio problem. You might want to try VoltaicHD instead. |
| dmak02 posted 2008 Sep 27 13:15 |
| Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help! |

| Is there any other program? That program just crashes upon starting. |
