Hi every body and happy new year to all..
Please to go easy with me as I am new to the forum and very very new to ffmpeg converter..
I been struggling for the last days with this issue.. I have beautiful clip that I edited for TV station, now here is the heck, they requested me to deliver it as MP4 H264 (5 audio channels, yes right 5) interlaced 25 fps. everything is done perfect but when I wanted to export and render, that`s where issues started..
I am using Sony Vegas Pro 13, so (surprisingly) I needed to install x264 separately to render in H264 (and it gives you .AVI !!). I tried it and sound is not sync. I tried to play with many setting unsuccessfully. I then exported it as uncompressed AVI file with 5 audio channels (great and sync.) . I also tried with premiere but it was like nuclear science to assign the 5 audio channels to separate channels in the premiere and get them working. so I decided the best way to do is to convert the clean version to the requested specifications. I tried with format factory didn`t work as the output is progressive and audio channels can`t be retained. I tried with handbrake, same problem (or at least couldn`t do it). then I read that ffmpeg would be the beast to do the job! so here I am. (in between, all previous steps, I would spend tremendous time of searching the net and trying (sometimes a day per step), so you can imagine what I been through)..
I am very new to the ffmpeg, and I never used it before. I don`t mean anything, but I am not interested at the point (and exhausted from all searches) to learn its specifications. I would just highly appreciate if someone can just tell me what to type to get my file (named: ABC.AVI, located at the profile folder in the c:\users) to be converted to the above specifications, which are again: MP4 H264 interlaced 25 fps 5 audio channels (same 5 audio channels in the AVI file)..
