Sometimes, movie cannot be playbacked at all. Sound is correctly playbacked. On the other hand, a m2ts files made without it by ffmpeg are smoothly playbacked with panasonic hdd recoder. My step Step 1 Making m2ts files by ffmpeg Step 2 Converting the files to AVCHD by multiAVCHD, which uses tsMuxR. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/multiAVCHD Step3 Playbaking the AVCHD with Panansonic
