AVCHD from Sony NEX-5T in digiKam

[Anders Stedtlund]

Hi,

I have now in my possession a Sony NEX-5T.

Anyone knows if it's possible to import and play the AVCHD files (MTS) with digiKam?

It's possible to play them with vlc.

I'm on openSUSE 13.1 KDE 4.10.x. I have built digiKam by myself.

/Anders

Yes I know that but it would be convenient to import the videos when importing photos. And organise them with digiKam.

Hi,

With digiKam 3.5.0, all is always ready to organize video as photo.

The missing section is to search video properties in DB, implemented in 4.0.0

In all case, you need Exiv2 version out last Christmas 2013 to handle
and set video metadata as with photo.

AVCHD video can be played in preview mode if right GStreamer plugin is
installed for KDE Phonon player, used by digiKam. There is no video
player/codec in digiKam. All is delegate to Phonon component.

In digiKam, there is no video editor too. Use right 3rd party
application to do it. Kdenlive is no too bad for this task.

Thank Gilles,

(Forgot to mention that I'm on 3.5.0.)

It seems I can't find the correct plugin for GStreamer as I have installed everything for it...

I assume it's not a build time dependency...?

Look here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD#Codecs

==> libavcodec

yes, it's a Phonon run time dependency

I have libavcodec52, libavcodec54 and libavcodec55 installed but no luck so far. digiKam don't see the MTS files.

FYI!

I had to add mts to known filetypes for movies in the configuration. Under MIME types. Now digiKam sees the movies!
