Firstly the mts/m2ts problem

I found that I can import mts files into Cinegobs using "import using Avisynth"

(although I had to change the extension to m2ts first – having read that they were the same)

a few days ago this worked perfectly fine

but now I get a severe horizontal "ghosting" effect on the preview

I've tried re-installing both Cinegobs and Avisynth but it's still the same – so would welcome any help there

My main problem now is about aspect ratio

I decided to reduce the resolution of my 1440x1080 mts files to 720x576 – mainly because Cinegobs worked a bit quicker – but also I don't actually need any higher for my project

I used  "Format Factory" to convert the mts files into avi 720x576 – but the result was a black band top and bottom

after much trial and error and investigation I found that the problem seemed to be the "pixel aspect ratio" – the mts files  are listed  in my Serif x5  media  screen as having  a  1.333  pixel aspect ratio  -  but the converted avi files were 1.0

Again after much trial and error and investigation – I found that I could solve this problem by setting the output in Format Factory to 720x540 "fully expand"

hooray – now I have AVI files with exactly the same aspect as the original mts (720x540 with pixel aspect ratio of 1.333) – with NO black bands

However after all this – I find that when loading into Cinegobs the aspect gets "squeezed" to a square frame – aaarrrghhh

I assume this is because Cinegobs just defaults to square pixels??

I seem to be getting endless problems here – If anybody can put me on the right track I'd be very grateful

best regards

Mick

Thankyou for your reply Bo

re mts file

Have tried all settings on the de-interlace tab and no difference

this is now acedemic as I am using the converted AVIs – but it definitely was OK before

re the pixel aspect ratio – thanks – I stupidly forgot about that setting

best regards

Mick
