[TriLUG] suggestions for uploading many gigs of video

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

If your camera make .mts files, that is probably HD h.264 transport
streams, not MPEG2, but transport streams can be null-stripped if they are
padded.

If not, you may want to try running them through Handbrake
<https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php>.

It has Debian/Ubuntu packages and a great GUI, but also has a nice CLI
interface.
