I've spent hours, and multiple failed attempts, trying to come up with<br>
a good method of conversion from .m2ts to .h264/mkv files.. and have<br>
MythFrontend play them... .and had no success.<br>
<br>
Problems?<br>
- jumpy/stuttery/dropping audio<br>
- black/blue/green frames<br>
- invalid video type<br>
<br>
All the resulting videos play in VLC, with zero audio/video issues,<br>
but MythFrontend won't. Mythfrontend will play the ORIGINAL, much<br>
larger m2ts file with zero issues.<br>
<br>
So I'm looking for suggestions. I'm looking for either ffmpeg or<br>
mencoder command-line/scripts, with a target of 8Mbit H.264,1 stream<br>
of 5.1 audio compressed or not, and english subtitles. Here's an<br>
example of "ffmpeg -i"<br>

Suggestions? (thanks in advance)<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Have you tried HandBrake? It has some very good out-of-the-box presets and remains extremely powerful for those who still want flexibility. I'd suggest trying it with the default options and "high profile" preset with a -q setting of 20 or a bit lower. <br>
