Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Bonjour,

J'ai un grand nombre de petites vidéos en format .MTS, je voudrais toutes les assembler et obtenir un seul fichier en format plus fluide du type .mp4 ou équivalent qui ne saccade pas. Que me conseillez-vous de faire ?

Je n'y connais pas grand chose en traitement vidéo et je ne comprends pas les échanges trouvés à ce propos sur le forum ou ailleurs.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Tu as la notion de conteneur et de codecs.
Le conteneur contient différents flux, audio, vidéo, sous-titrage... et est compatible avec plusieurs types de codecs.
Les codecs sont les façons de coder un flux audio ou vidéo - leur but est de pouvoir stocker les données de la façon la plus compact en limitant la perte sensible de résolution (audio ou vidéo).

.avi, .mkv, .mp4 sont des formats de conteneurs
h264, mpeg2video sont des codecs vidéo
aac, ac3... sont des codecs audio

Si les flux audio ou vidéo ne sont pas modifiés, il est possible d'inclure ces flux dans un autre conteneur - et dans ce cas c'est assez rapide.
En cas de modification de flux audio ou vidéo, il y a donc transcodage des flux, par exemple conversion de aac en ac3 ou de mpeg2video en h264 et cette opération est longue. Les flux modifiés seront inclus dans le conteneur souhaité.

Attention, tous les conteneurs n'acceptent pas tous les codecs.

Bonjour
Peut etre avec Openshot en les mettant bout a bout , tu peux même mettre des transitions entre les vidéos

Edit: apres essai ça fonctionne bien  mais fait des fichiers lourds
2 vidéos de 25 Mo font un fichier de 200 Mo

Bonjour
Teste cette commande ffmpeg : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/261 … s-on-linux
Ça joint les fichiers mais ça ne les convertit pas. Tu pourras faire la conversion après je suppose.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Merci à vous.
Nasman, donc mes fichiers .MTS sont des conteneurs mais je ne sais pas quels codecs audios et vidéos ils contiennent (je vais découvrir ça petit à petit).

bluc, dommage qu'Openshot fasse de trop lourds fichiers. Il y a peut être un autre logiciel qui assemblerait des .MTS en une vidéo finale globale plus légère, on va voir si quelqu'un passant par-là en connaît un.

bersek, tu me parles de cette commande là ? :
ffmpeg -i "concat:00000.MTS|00001.MTS|00002.MTS" -c copy output.m2ts
Je ne maîtrise pas assez le langage du terminal pour adapter ça à mon cas particulier car j'imagine qu'il doit falloir lui dire où sont les .MTS sur mon disque dur.

Le traitement audio/vidéo semble être un monde complexe.

cris22 : Dans les logiciels possibles à installer dans mon Ubuntu 18.04, je n'ai pas Avidemux. J'ai donc fait un test avec Pitivi que j'ai trouvé, et voici la réponse du logiciel dès que je mets une vidéo .MTS dedans :
The following file can not be use with Pitivi - Problème : gst-resource-error-quark

Si ça continue, je vais craquer et aller sur l'ordi avec Windows pour faire mon assemblage avec Movie maker qui veut bien le faire et qui me les transforme en mp4 pour le même prix :-)
J'aurais pourtant bien aimé le faire sur Ubuntu.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

+1 ffmpeg
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate

L'avantage énorme de ffmpeg, c'est que tu peux le faire sur un serveur.
Par exemple, vdr produit des fichiers 0001.ts, 0002.ts, 0003.ts, etc.
Je les concatène d'abord directement sur le NAS :

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i <(for f in 0*.ts; do echo "file '$PWD/$f'"; done) -c copy out.ts

Puis, je visualise les temps de coupures que je veux faire (genre les pubs).
Je me reconnecte au NAS, je fais mes coupures, toujours avec ffmpeg. Je concatène les morceaux sans les pubs et c'est prêt.
J'ai essayé plein de logiciel (handbrake, pitivi, avidemux, etc.). Seul ffmpeg est capable de faire le travail sans planter.

Un script nautilus est très simple a installer et a utiliser
J'en ai un qui peut te convenir

Tu copies ceci dans Gedit et tu l'enregistres avec le nom , par exemple, Collage video  ou tu le télécharges

Il est necessaire d'installer les paquets mencoder et zenity

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Merci bluc pour tes explications claires et complètes. J'ai tout bien fait (je pense) et j'obtiens un fichier .MTS mais je n'ai que le son et pas l'image. J'ai ce message : "Ce codec n'est pas supporté. VLC ne peut pas décoder le format "No description for this codec""

De plus, normalement le film devrait faire 30 mn et là il en fait 50. (avec Movie maker il fait 30 mn).

Une idée sur ce qui a pu se passer ?

Mince alors, moi avec les .MTS il ne peux pas mettre l'image. C'est moche car je voudrais bien y arriver sur Ubuntu. Mon ordinateur avec Windows est en fin de vie et je n'ai pas trop envie d'en acheter un nouveau avec Windows.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Impec pour la transformation des .MTS en .AVI, en une heure c'était fait pour les 60 petites vidéos.

Par contre, lorsque j'ai lancé le script pour l'assemblage, j'ai obtenu le son mais pas l'image. On voit super vite l'image au tout début et plus ensuite c'est tout noir. Le son disparaît même au milieu de la vidéo.

Pas de chance que cela ne fonctionne pas pour moi.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Je viens de me rendre compte que le script nautilus de conversion des .MTS en .AVI a mal fonctionné. Les vidéos en .AVI ne sont pas nettes et tournent au ralenti. Etrange.

Ce qui pourrait expliquer pourquoi le script nautilus d'assemblage des vidéos ne fonctionne pas.

Dis-moi bluc, tes .AVI sont parfaits après conversion par le script ?

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Je ne peux plus te dire ,je ne les ai plus, je n'ai jamais eu de .MTS ,  j'en avait téléchargé 3 pour l'essai et je me souviens que la reconversion était réussie mais pas très fluide , je pensais plutôt a un défaut des fichiers d'origine
j'ai bien d'autres scripts de reconversion mais il fonctionne tous pareil je pense

essayes peut etre celui-ci en choisissant un autre format de sortie mp4 par exemple

#######
# IF YOU READ NO FURTHER THAN THIS, please note that when using
# "kcolorchooser" in text-to-image, there is a delay after choosing your
# color before the next window from avconvert comes up.  I have no idea why
# kcolorchooser is behaving this way.
#######

This project started out because I needed to create jpg files of numerous
resolutions from a number of source files and wanted an automatic way to
generate them more quickly.  Then my daughter asked for a way to convert
"unplugged" YouTube files into formats her friends could view.
Combining these two short scripts is where avconvert began.

Upon completion of each use of avconvert, a file for debugging purposes
is written to, with lots of output showing exactly what the script 
has done.  This can help a lot if you are getting unexpected results.
The file name is derived from the conversion, followed by "dot" PID.  In the 
case of text->image and if intermediary files were generated, there will be
another "dot" and a sequence number.  These files will be named:
	/tmp/convert.$$
	/tmp/convert.$$.$count
	/tmp/ffmpeg.$$
	/tmp/avconvert.debug
	/tmp/txt2tags.$$
	/tmp/antiword.$$
and more may be added in the future.

You can create a startup file ~/.config/avconvert/avconvert to contain preferences.
Currently there are three items that can be specified there.
A ~/.config/avconvert/avconvert which specifies the defaults for these would contain this:
	destdir=y
	autoloop=y
	zenityfix=y
The line "destdir" specifies whether or not there should be a popup prompting
for a destination directory for converted files.  The line "autoloop" determines
whether, if multiple files are selected, you will be prompted and asked if you
want to treat them all the same way.  Y means prompt, N means always treat the
files individually.  THe line "zenityfix" has to do with the prompt which offers
to fix zenity popups so they appear above (instead of below) other items on the
desktop.  Y means detect "popunder" and offer to fix it, N means ignore current
zentiy configuration.

Things you might want to customize (starting from the top of the script):

Too much verbage that gives information about source files?
	comment out the "ident=" and "ffident=" lines

Too much window activity and want to eliminate "progress" window?
	uncomment the "exit 0" at the top of "myavconvert-watch"

To add more extensions to recognized file types for image/video/audio:
	the script uses two different forms of output from the
	"file" command plus the source file extension, to decide
	what type of file it has to work with.  "file" isn not 
	always useful, which is why extensions are needed at all.
	find the comment "# strings from file".  Below that are 
	four cases.  Each contains first something that may have
	been output by "file", followed by a set of extensions.
	Just follow the example to add more extensions.

To add more extensions to the default list of output file types:
	Find the comment line beginning "Show appropriate output".
	Below that are four entries - two for "convert" and two 
	for "ffmpeg".  These are each divided into two more.
	Just add any extension you like into that space-separated
	list (do NOT remove the leading space in the list).

To prevent a "default" output type for images:
	Currently the default output for images is the same as 
	the source file type.  To prevent this, find the comment
	"This line sets default" and, on the line for "convert",
	and comment out the "out=" line below that.

To change the list of image resolutions presented:
	Find the comment "# set resolution here".  Add or 
	remove any resolutions from the list.  Also, setting
	one or more from FALSE to TRUE will cause them to be 
	checkboxed when the window appears.

To change the list of jpg quality settings:
	Find the comment "# if this is a jpeg".  Add or remove.
	You may also set the default by changing a FALSE to TRUE

To change the list of font sizes:
	Modify the line beginning "sizelist=".

To change bitrate choices for ffmpeg audio conversion:
	Find the comment line "# audio bitrate".
	To set a default bitrate, change one of the FALSE to TRUE.

To prevent the final window showing summary after completion:
	(Not recommeded, since this is ALSO where you might see 
	diagnostic output after a failure)
	Find the comment " Show results summary" and comment out the 
	"zenity" line that follows it.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

bluc, tu me dis d'essayer ce nouveau script de conversion en choisissant un autre format de sortie (mp4 par ex). J'ai donc procédé comme pour les autres scipts et rien ne se passe, rien du tout, j'ai attendu 45 mn histoire de voir mais il ne donne pas le choix du format de sortie et il ne semble pas travailler du tout.

J'ai essayé à deux reprises et c'est pareil.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Bonjour,
Une solution consiste à utiliser mkvtoolnix-gui présent dans les dépôts. et d'ouvrir le fichier avec ce logiciel, il sera alors possible de rassembler tous les fichiers et d'exporter dans un format .mkv qui présente la particularité de modifier, d'ajouter ou de supprimer des pistes à volonté.

Re : Assembler des fichiers vidéos .MTS et obtenir un fichier en .mp4

Bonjour,

bluc : merci quand même. Je vais continuer à chercher car j'aimerais bien y arriver.

Bertrand : merci de passer par là. J'ai 60 petites vidéos en .MTS pour une trentaine de mn de vidéo au total.

J'ai installé mkvtoolnix-gui, j'ai ouvert le premier fichier .MTS avec ce logiciel, j'ai fait "Ajouter des fichiers sources" (Tous les fichiers multimédia gérés) et j'ai cliqué sur "Lancer le multiplexage". J'ai obtenu seulement la première vidéo dans un fichier de 2,2 Go
Dans la partie "Pistes, chapitres et balises" j'ai vu que dans la colonne "Piste par défaut", seulement la première vidéo avait la mention "OUI", toutes les autres sont à "NON" mais je ne sais pas ce qu'il faut faire pour les mettre à "OUI".

Il faut savoir, que je n'y connais pas grand chose en vidéo/audio et que quelque chose m'échappe là certainement, mais quoi ?

Ce n'est pas pour ajouter d'autres vidéos dans le même conteneur, c'est normal. Les chapitres, balises, sous-titres non désirés peuvent être décochés avant d'appliquer lancer:multiplexage. C'est la première étape pour obtenir les fichiers rassemblés dans un .mkv
S'il y en a beaucoup à mettre bout à bout, alors c'est un logiciel de montage vidéo qu'il faut.

Exact, c'est ça que je cherche à faire, je voudrais trouver un logiciel qui fonctionne sous Ubuntu pour mettre bout à bout mes 60 petites vidéos qui font au total environ 30 mn de vidéo. Je les ai en .MTS, il me faudrait les convertir en un autre format car les .MTS on tendance à sautiller ; et ensuite il me faudrait les assembler (ou les assembler et le convertir ensuite).

Quel logiciel de montage vidéo utiliserais-tu dans ce cas ?

Ça dépend des goûts et des possibilités de l'ordinateur, car si on veut ajouter des effets de transition, etc. c'est bien mais ça consomme des ressources et il faut une très bonne carte graphique. Openshot video-editor est pour moi intuitif et facile à comprendre, mais il y en a d'autres comme kdenlive, il faut en essayer plusieurs, il y a une importante documentation ici
