If you need just convert AC3 to MP2 format and don’t want resample video, try this tool: http://www.converio.fr/converio_095.htm
I found it when solving described problem with lost sound in Sony Vegas.
Thank you for your article.

Thank you for the link to SDcopy. I had some of these files to open with Vegas in XP and it was a mess. If you’re innovating a new high quality format, maybe this is okay, but what is Panasonic thinking making users who are buying SD Flash Camcorders jump through these sorts of hoops. You’d think they were Sony or something. Thank you very much for your investigation into this.

hi xxfunkxx, I have to agree with you about those jagged thing. I’ve try everything I know to solve those jagged problem using many software, but the result was still the same, the jagged still there even just a little. I know that those jagged will not visible once you played on TV but still, we also want to see it good on our mac, right. You know, I still have my old canon TX1, its an HD camcorder and 7.1 Megapixel still image. It using motion jpeg compression on video mode with .AVI extension file, and it has no jagged at all.

So I think that is the problem on video with MPEG-2 compression, coz I’ve try JVC everio – same problem, then turn to Canon FS100 – same, than try Sony SX40 – still the same. Everio and FS100 are using .MOD extension, while Sony SX40 is .MPG. Those three are PAL with standard definition.

Frustrated with those jagged, now I’ve turn to Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1. Its an HD waterproof camcorder. Now, I can really say adios to jagged problem. ;P
It a good cam for its price. It use H264 compression in .MP4 extension. If you wanna see sample of my video, just email me: caplak.berakar@gmail.com
I can give you the link on youtube.

So my learning is, cam with file extension: .MOV, .MP4 and .AVI is jagged free. No de-interlace needed.

PS: Daz, how are you bro? long time no hear from you…

caplak: Thanks for your “studies” on converting the mod-Files. On my mac I am using mpegstreamclip with h.264 10Mbps 1024×576 De-Interlaced but have to say that i am not totally satisfied with the quality because i always have jagged images. I tried now with 720×504 and it seems a to improve the quality. But the image is still a little bit jagged. Does the camera compress too much? Stil tryig to finf out what is the best setting. iMovie08 does not work for me unfortunately.

caplak: So it seems Mpeg Streamclip is less efficient than using Quicktime but with the quality differences it is pretty much the same.

Thanks again for all the work! If I have time I’ll compile some more information into a blog post. Hope you continue to visit the site.

Cheers
