[Bug 574870] Re: Need ability to extract videos from AVCHD camcorders with metadata

 

Hi all,

>>If a software can rip a bluray disc, it should be able to rip the
media from an AVCHD camera as well (together with the metadata), since
they both use the same format.

To my knowledges, there are none software under GNU/Linux which can rip a blu-ray disk (without using Wine and derivative GUI).
And more generally, The AVCHD format is not well supported on our system. Saying that, I'm thinking at this problem and another one when you want to create an authoring Blu-ray disk.

I'm wondering me if something could be done to the Kernel side ? =>udev & Cies........ No? 
In fact, if the size file was not cutting, it will be more easy for users and ...........developers too.
And the other question which comes is that if his files are not cutting, metadata are they always present ? 

 >>Mine is a sony so it isn't quite identical, but could the few
differences mess it up? Which folder was u supposed to use the script
on? I tried all the ones that made sense to

A good start could be to have a base of all the structure available of
all marks Camecorders and like this, see if there are some differences.
Another thing could be to have a rush of each structure/camecorders that
everybody could use for studying and testing and like this see if
something could be implemented.

For sample, I have not (yet) a AVCHD Camecorder (=>I am yet in DV
Camecorder) and it will be difficult to implement something if we can
even not test them.

We'll study your work and We'll speak soon between us of that and I'll
give you more information about this subject soon. So it is the reason
what I put it now in our wishlist.

Bug description:
  AVCHD is the standard for high definition video on digital camcorders,
  and a tool is needed to extract these files while retaining the
  metadata. Currently, users must copy individual .mts/.m2ts files and
  combine them together (they are split if larger than 2GB), which does
  not keep the metadata. Currently, the only tools available are special
  proprietary tools only available for Mac or Windows.
