Installation

sudo pip install panasonic-concat

Description

Util concats *.MTS files and improves an audio loudness. It's a typical pipeline done with video files on a panasonic video-cameras (like HC v770). Equivalent ffmpeg commands:

ffmpeg -i 'concat:0.MTS|1.MTS|2.MTS' -vcodec copy -acodec copy res.mp4
ffmpeg-normalize -v res.mp4 -c:a aac -b:a 384k -lrt 20 -tp 0 -o res.mp4

Help

usage: panasonic-concat [-h] [-n] [-o FILE] path [path ...]

Convert a bunch of MTS files to a video with a normalized sound.

positional arguments:
  path             path to the MTS file(s)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -n, --normalize  do the audio normalization
  -o FILE          the output file name, (record's date used by default)

Examples

Pay attention, the current directory is used as a temprorary (so it's better to cd to the home dir). The typical usage example:

cd ~
panasonic-concat /sdcard/STREAM/{5,6,7,8}.MTS -o lecture.mp4

The output file name can be omitted, so the record's time (or the current time) like 2018-06-03__13-16-20.mp4 will be used:

panasonic-concat /sdcard/STREAM/5.MTS ../../6.MTS --normalize
