I had to make the same change to my script. I recorded video on a Panasonic SD9 and after making the change from "1440" to "1920", the picture showed up like it was suppose to. It does look good.
I had trouble with the frame resolution that this script assumes. It’s assuming 1440×1080, and my camera can shoot @1920×1080. If you try to process a 1920 file with this script, you’ll get “flipping” (not sure if that’s the right term) where it looks as if you had turned the old-school “vert” knob on your TV too far one way or the other.
The fix is to edit the m2tstoavi(.fifo) script. Replace 1440 with 1920, and the video will turn out fine.
Of course, the files will only have sound in mplayer, the sound, when you do have it, is out of sync by a few seconds, and the output file won’t import into Cinelerra. Time to do some more googling…
