FFMpeg Commands for Transcoding MTS video (from AVCHD-Lite Cameras, like Panasonic DMC-TS1/2)

720p -> H.264 (x264) video + AAC 128kbps audio:

Medium quality 720p:

ffmpeg -i 00001.MTS -threads 3 -y -vcodec libx264 -sameq -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 44100 -ac 2 -s 1280x720 -vpre normal -b 1M output.mp4

High quality 720p:

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.

Usage

Build a copy of this image:

git clone git://github.com/d9206eacb5a0ff5d6be0.git docker-nginx-fpm
cd docker-nginx-fpm
docker build -t nginx-fpm .

Now published as @root/uuid

Node version: https://github.com/therootcompany/uuid.js/blob/main/uuid.js
Browser version: https://github.com/therootcompany/uuid.js/blob/main/browser.js

This is started out as a curiosity, pasted as a gist but now, years later, I've come back to it because there are too many of these uuid modules out there and they're too complicated.

This, however, is easy to read and understand (for me, at least). Even its tests are dependncy and build-step free.
