My Canon HF S10 camcorder is brand new, and at its top resolution/bit rate, it produces 1920x1080 @ 25MB/sec. I acquired the camcorder only a couple of weeks before my leaving on vacation, and I had a couple of business trips also during those two weeks prior to leaving on vacation. This meant I was not able to test its output files with much software.
I did try the raw .mts files with the h264enc and xvidenc scripts, and for some reason they can not handle the format for encoding. Possibly a Packman packaged mplayer/mencoder limitation? I can only "play" the files with mplayer if I specify the frame rate. ie I can get both audio and video with:
Code:
mplayer 00017.mts -fps 25
but
does not play any video (only audio plays if fps is not specified).
Some of the h264enc errors look like this .... (using: "h264enc -2p -p uhq" ) after the first pass:
Code:

My apologies for not mentioning this to you earlier, .... But with my upcoming vacation, business trips, and all sorts of things to do on the home/family front, I did not want to "impose" on you by bring it up as I was not clear on my available time to support iterative testing.
Fortunately the packman packaged ffmpeg CAN handle the format.
I probably need to post a sample raw .mts file (from my Camcorder) on the web, for you to download and check out (in case you are curious). It would be neat if your scripts could handle the raw Canon HF S10 video format, but again, I do not want to impose ...
