How do Export Mpeg2 as one file please?

Hi, I've been asked to enter some work into a competition.
All of my work is in Final Cut and the spec for the competition is a single file Mpeg2?
Every time I export an Mpeg2, as always it comes out as 2 files, audio and video (I'm sure you guys know that) but this comp is asking for a single file mpeg2? How do I do this?
I've come across the word 'mux', is that relevant?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

I had this problem when i had to FTP some finished spots to a television station for broadcast.
Personally, I've never dealt with MPEG Slipstream, but a lot of guys here seem to recommend it. Here's my solution that tends to work the best.
1. Export your video out of final cut.
2. Bring that into Compressor.
3. Apply an Mpeg 2/Aiff encoder to it, (just like you'd do if you were going to DVD, except aiff instead of AC3) and export.
*NOTE-For this i created my own preset and cranked up the settings as high as they would go. Normally you wouldn't do this if your were going to DVD with it, but i wasn't and this would give me the best quality.
4 Convert the Aiff to an .M2P with "Bit Vice Helper" (I don't know the website, google it, you'll find it. I believe it's a free download, or it's REALLY cheap.) using the advanced settings.
5. Multiplex you .m2v & .m2p files together.
I like this because bit vice helper doesn't actually re-compress your video, it just combines the 2 streams together. The file size of your final video will depend on how high your data rate you set for the MPEG 2 you create in Compressor. Generally, mine tend to be around 30Mb for a 30 second commercial. But that's also with the highest compression i can get.
Hope this helps!

    You want Photoshop or Elements and use the ACR plugin. Lightroom is the wrong application for you; square peg in a round hole and all that.

  • How to transfer more than one files over internet at once?

    hi, friends,
    I just wonder how to transfer more than one files from one computer to another over internet at once. Not using ftp. pls any one give me the solution.

    This isn't hard to do, but it depends on your exact need. I did something very similar to let me upload all my mp3 file from home to work using sockets (don't have the code anymore..).
    What I did was implement a "pull" approach rather than a "push" approach. In other words, everytime my server got a request from a client, it served up the next file. It didn't know or care that the client was always the same.
    If you can set up a server to serve one file when a client attaches, then basically just put that code in a loop.
    If this doesn't meet you need, it might still be helpful as a starting point...

  • System exec, How I say to open one file and make operation in external program?

    Hi,
    I got called an external program with the system exec.vi, but i would like the program open the file saved in the other window, i can get the file path, but how Can I put the file path in the external program and the program open the file and I tell (in this case compile), since i open one file code c and only i must to open and say to the program 'compile' and then close external program.

    Hi Fonsi,
    System Exec.vi will allow you to run commands like launching a program easily but it is difficult and many times not possible to execute commands within an application.
    A better way maybe to approach this though ActiveX. Please look at the following example that uses ActiveX to communicate with Excel.
    Writing Rows to Excel 97 and Excel 2000 Using ActiveX
    If you are not familiar to ActiveX and LabVIEW, please read the document below:

    I hope this
    helps.

  • How to export in a small file size in FCP7 ?

    Hi,
    I'm filming with a GoPro camera on 720p 60fps.
    resulting files are MP4 files wich I convert to Apple ProRes files.
    Now when I want to export my movie, it has a VERY big file size..!
    Can anyone tell me how to export my movie in a smaller file size.
    It doesn't has to be the smallest file size, just small enough so I can upload it on the internet etc.
    Thanks very much,
    Yannick.

    Export a reference video (command-E, current settings and "self-contained" should not be marked.
    Then import to compressor, use one of the h.264 settings... Start with the LAN setting and go from there.

  • How to export SSIS package to File system in SQL Server 2012

    I am accessing SSIS package by connecting to a database engine. I wanted to export the SSIS to file system. How to get it done in sql server 2012? I tried Util utility , i got package not present. Let me know what other options are available to export to
    file system?
    Mano

    Hi Mano,
    After exporting the project stored in a SSISDB catalog to an .ispac file, we can modify the extension .ispac to .zip, then, we can extract the zip file to get the .dtsx package files. Besides, please note that if there are project level connection managers
    or parameters, their definition cannot be exported to individual packages.

  • How to export the original raw file?

    I have read a few threads about this but have not seen the answer.
    The original file from my camera (.PEF) now exists only in the Aperature library. I want to export a copy to my desktop so I can do some special processing with Pentax software. How do I export the original .PEF file? (Exporting Masters only gives me processed file types like TIFF and JPEG.)

    Export Version gives you a processed file such as a TIFF or JPEG.
    Export Master will give you a copy of the original RAW file.
    Please double-check that you used the correct export command...

  • *** How to export as an .m2t file?

    My rental shop would like me to try and export some of my HDV footage so that I can watch it on their recorder. It apparently allows you to watch HDV footage that is burned on a regular DVD and it's HDV quality.
    The problem is, how do I create an .m2t file from Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have an AVeL Link Player (JVC ProHD) SRDVD-100 that I bought to see if I could get my HD videos to an HD display for le$$ than producing HD-DVD or BD discs and after a lot of trials and errors I found a very fast an easy way to play HD in it using CD, DVD, USB or its network connection.
    To accomplish, you need FCP or FCE to export your movie and then encode it with Compressor 2. The trick is that Compressor 2 does not have a preset for high definition (HD) .m2t files. You will have to create it and here is how...
    - Compressor has the correct setting (except audio muxing and file extension) in its "HD DVD: HD-MPEG2 30 minutes" settings folder.
    - Since you cannot duplicate it to modify it (at least it is grayed out from my side), create a new setting identical to it.
    - Change two things: in the 'Encoder' options, under the 'Extras' tab, have ONLY the "Multiplexed MPEG-2 transport" selected. Deselect the first two.
    - Make sure the extension is set to ".m2t"
    - Save it. Use it.
    - This is for HD! You might need to change a few things for SD or start differently.
    Now, I can export my HD movies to a QT wrapper a have the fast Compressor 2 convert it to .m2t. I copy it to a CD, DVD, or thumb-drive and presto. It plays as HD. Since my footage has all been 720 24p, I have not test it at other resolutions and BTW, I don't even record with HDV. I use a Panasonic with DVCPRO HD.
    It took me a lot to find a fast workflow and I really hope this can help you. For this device I even tried DviX and it works BUT, even at HD, DivX cannot compare to .m2t or H.264. Never. Plus it takes for ever to convert to DivX. Forever!

  • How to export as a .mp4 file in good quality?

    Hi,
    I want to produce a video as a .mp4 file which suits best for the webb.
    How to export a project from iMovie as a .mp4 file in a GOOD quality and original size or ratio?
    What to do?
    I went to Share-export with Quick Time and changed the file format to MPEG4 but the quality is really bad. The size is small 300x200 something and picture quality is really bad.
    How to produce a video easiest in iMovie which suits best for the webb (in HD quality). Not all people have Quick Time so .mov is not suitable. And .m4v files don't play very well on webb. They get stuck.
    What to do?
    Thankful for your help.

    Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice,
    Are you now using GarageBand 10.0?
    Then import the movie,
    Track menu > Show Movie Track
    File menu > Movie > Open Movie
    Mix the sound track song
    Then use the "File" menu > Movie > Export Audio to Movie.
    This will write the audio aa an audio track into the imported movie.

  • Exporting clips from one file

    I am trying to export clips in Quicktime format onto a cd for someone else to edit.
    I imported a sequence from FCE that appeared as one clip in iMovie 06. I split the clips. There are 32 separate clips now. I need to copy these onto a cd so that someone else can edit them into a movie. When I tried copying them, the clips appeared as one file NOT 32 separate clips.

    .. a bit exotic, that workflow.. ? why not using FCE for that task..
    in iM:
    select/'highlight' the clip, goto export, check the box 'selected clips only', choose FullQuality or whatever quality.. done.
    note: a CD fits 3secs of dv.. probably a dataDVD is better, an external Harddrive best practice..

  • Kindle plugin export only converts one file

    I am using InDesign 5.0. I installed the lastest version of the Kindle Plugin. I open all my individual indd book chapters (14 in all) and then create a book file which I save (and make sure the TOC styles are copied into the primary Style Source file). When I click the Export to Kindle option, the plugin only converts whatever single indd file I have selected in the window (however all are open in the window). Why is it not converting all 14 of my book chapters at once into one file? I am a new user of InDesign (less than a year) and maybe I am missing something that is so very obvious that I cannot see it -- if you know what I mean. :-) Can anyone explain to me the error of my ways? Thank you! ~ Carolyn

    I'm afraid I'd only be guessing at this point. I don't do epub at all. I do know, however, that CS5.5 tends to work better than CS5, and CS6 better still.
    One thing would be to make sure your CS5 is fully patched to the 7.0.4 update.
