Home

We were released from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and spent our first night at home with Ian. Thanks to everyone for your blessings, it will probably take me a little while longer to post all the pictures and videos.

If someone can give me some easy instructions on converting MTS (or really M2TS) format from the Canon VIXIA HF100 HD camcorder to either mp4 or avi, that would help me speed things up... I have been using ffmpeg in Linux to do a quick batch processing of all the videos with minimum parameters (something like ffmpeg -i INPUT.MTS -sameq -s hd720 OUTPUT.mp4), but audio is out of sync, and the video is slightly choppy. I want to produce 2 types of outputs: a HD-ish output that I can make available digitally online, and a DVD-quality output for obvious DVD burning and snail mailing them out like AOL coffee coasters.

Ian is great when he's not crying.
