ffmpeg-how to convert an .MTS file to a vob for dvd burning

Question

how do I convert an .MTS file using ffmpeg into a .vob file?

Answer 1

First convert the AVCHD into an MPEG. Then use tovid to author MPEGs into a DVD image(ie. make vobs).

ffmpeg -i "$mts_input" -aspect 4:3 \
    -acodec ac3 -target ntsc-dvd \
    -r 29.97 "$mpeg_output"

Actually, once you have the MPEGs, there are any number of programs like Tovid that will author a DVD. Many of them are GUI operated. I use Tovid to generate DVD laytouts programatically via its commandline interface. You may be more interested in its GUI
