Comment 29 for bug 327872

I recently bought a Canon Legria HF200 which I'm using with Ubuntu for family video and some YouTube stuff, it produces AVCHD like most other HD cams which means I get a .mts file with H.264 video codec and on my cam also AC3 audio codec. I've been successfully using this cam to upload youtube videos by first converting the .MTS files to a variant of .mkv using the ffmpeg tool. What I do is this:

ffmpeg -deinterlace -i file_from_cam.mts -sameq -f matroska -vcodec libx264 -acodec vorbis file_that_I_upload_to_youtube.mkv

Of course, it would be so much more user friendly and efficient to have support for these .MTS files right in GStreamer so I could load my clips straight into PiTiVi etc.
