Attaching audio and editing M2V files

I have about 200 M2V files that were provided to me for use in a Final Cut Pro project. They originated from about six different HDV cameras in 1080i60. The clips were captured to a PC running some version of Pinnacle software on-site at an event. Each M2V file has no sound, but is accompanied by a pair of WAV files. Left and right channels. I have MPEG Streamclip to transcode the clips, but the problem I am having is figuring out how to get the audio attached so that it can be edited. Also, I'm wondering if this can be done without transcoding with generational loss. Since they are HDV files, can they be converted to Quicktime HDV wrapper? Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks.

What are the pixel dimensions of the m2v files? They should open in quicktime player and you should be able to check there. Some compression/conversion utilities allow you to attach audio files during the encoding. Don't think compressor will do it. I will see if Squeeze will do it, if you like, but Squeeze costs money.

  • Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

    I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
    If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
    I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
    I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
    If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Cole

    Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
    I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
    Hmm,

  • Audio on a m2v file

    I'm exporting a video from FCP HD through Compressor and outputing a m2v file and aiff.
    Once the file is finished if I open the m2v file I'm getting audio playing as well. I didn't think m2v included audio.
    When I look at the movie properties it says that the audio is Integer (Little Endian).
    Anyone know why I'm getting audio?
    The same file outputed on a different mac (with the same settings) doesn't output audio within the m2v file.

    What happens if you change the name of your .aiff file? I remember this being a feature, of some sort, of Quicktime.

  • Opening and editing .pub files

    Can anybody tell me if there is any way to open and edit .pub files without converting them into PDF's???

  • Mark up and edit PDF files?

    You advertised to me that you could provide a product that enabled one to mark up and edit PDF files.  I spent hours trying to download it, install it and run it, hours and hours and hours of bitter frustration. Time and time again I had to agree to this, register that, click on this, scroll down to find that, install something, else, update something else, wait for this to run, wait again for the next thing to run, and then find something else in a something file, close this, open that, stop this, tell us what f===ing browser your'e using (Chrome) start that, verify this, confirm that, choose a f==== password, choose another f===== password because that one is not right, choose yet another f=====g password because it's the wrong shade of pink, choose a f======= userrname,  and in the end, nothing worked, Nothing changed, I still cannot edit or mark up any Adobe Acrobat files. Every time you open a file like this it pesters you to download updates and this is just a f====== nightrmare,  I have wasted hours when I could have been working and your product did not work or make any difference. I still don't know if you have to pay but if you do I resent you hiding that until the end. I accepted a supposedly free 30-day trial but that is not enough time to get the f====== product to download  install and work.
    Why did you advertise this?
    You started this situation by advertising a product and sending a pop-up. All it caused was huge waste of my time and effort.
    You are like a girl who stands on a street corner saying "Wanna hooker?" then when someone says "Yes" he is expected to produce his birth certificate, passport, health insurance card, Green card, national insurance card, baptismal certificate, take her out to dinner, take her out to dinner again because that wasnn't good enough,  register his name and credit card details, undergo an international credit check , choose five f===== passwiords, undergo a DNA test and marry her grandmother. Then she says "I've got a headache."
    It;s just not f=====ing worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well we have no idea what you tried to do to install the trial version. There may have been a fundamental error in your process, but unless you let us know what was happening, we can't help. As for Adobe, we don't try to defend them, but try to provide help where we can.
    Sorry you ran into frustration. The package does a lot of things, but for you the trial would have been ideal to see what worked like you expected and what did not. A lot of people expect all sorts of things out of Acrobat that are not possible, thinking it is like a word processor. It is not like that, but a PDF is more like an electronic version of a piece of paper. Modifications are typically a pain, just as it is with paper.
    Over the years a lot of features have been added. The markup is OK, but some of the functions continue to be clunky. The forms is a major contribution to a standard PDF. The OCR feature is useful for scanned files. So there are many features. Reader is basically that, a Reader. It generally allows the completion of forms and possibly submission electronically (depends on the creation process).
    If you want to try again (assuming the trial period has not run out), then let us help. When you do the install, you need to be sure you log in as the administrator (on Windows) and disable anti-virus. There may also be an issue of the compatibility of the trial version and your OS (you never mentioned). So there are possible fixes that might be able to help you play with the trial.

    wmf files is a MS Windows video file, you will need a tool to covert the wmf files to another file format OS X will read. Simply Google to find a converter you are interested in and use it.

  • I am having problems donloading and editing .asx files

    I am trying to edit some video that can only be downloaded in .asx format. It is drm-ed. I may just have to contact the poeple I am partenring with that I need the original video files but I will need to do this with many of the cliebts that I am partnering with. Not only will it become a nuisance and make my business move as though stuck in the mud...it makes it hard for me to trumpet the relative merits of Apple anything electronic in the world if I have to get parralel or something so that I can run (gasp) Windows.
    Please help!
    If there is another section I should post this in let me know. i figured Fimal Cut would be where the most knowledgeable amble about.

    FCE is video editing application. ASX are not video files, they're metadata information. By the sound of it you haven't downloaded the video files at all. ASF is a Windows format used for streaming, not for download.
    The ASX Format
    ASX (Advanced Stream Redirector) files are not media files, but metafiles.
    Metafiles provides information about files. ASX files are plain text files used to describe multimedia content:
    <ASX VERSION="3.0">
    <Title>Holiday 2001</Title>
    <Entry>
    <ref href="holiday-1.avi"/>
    </Entry>
    <Entry>
    <ref href="holiday-2.avi"/>
    </Entry>
    <Entry>
    <ref href="holiday-2.avi"/>
    </Entry>
    </ASX>
    The file above describes three multimedia files. When the ASX file is read by a player, the player can play the files described.
    Advanced Systems Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format) is Microsoft's proprietary digital audio/digital video container format, especially meant for streaming media. ASF is part of the Windows Media framework.
    The format does not specify how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded; it just specifies the structure of the video/audio stream. This is similar to the function performed by the QuickTime, AVI, or Ogg container formats. One of the objectives of ASF was to support playback from digital media servers, HTTP servers, and local storage devices such as hard disk drives.
    ASF is based on serialized objects which are essentially byte sequences identified by a GUID marker.
    The most common filetypes contained within an ASF file are Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV). Note that the file extension abbreviations are similar in name to the codecs of the same name but are different things.
    ASF files can also contain objects representing metadata, such as the artist, title, album and genre for an audio track, or the director of a video track, much like the ID3 tags of MP3 files.
    Files containing only WMA audio can be named using a .wma extension, and files of only audio and video content may have the extension .wmv. Both may use the .asf extension if desired.
    Certain error-correcting techniques related to ASF are patented in the United States (United States Patent 6,041,345 Levi, et al. March 21, 2000) by Microsoft. Although the format is publicly documented by Microsoft, its license limits implementations to closed-source development projects only. Apple's iTunes software (for Windows) now has the capability to convert WMA files to any iTunes-supported format.[1]
    The ASF container provides the framework for digital rights management in Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video. An analysis of an older scheme used in WMA reveals that it is using a combination of elliptic curve cryptography key exchange, DES block cipher, a custom block cipher, RC4 stream cipher and the SHA-1 hashing function.
    ASF files have MIME type application/vnd.ms-asf or video/x-ms-asf. (Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) files also have MIME type video/x-ms-asf.)
    ASF container-based media is usually streamed on the internet either through the MMS protocol or the RTSP protocol.

  • Importing and Editing AAC files

    I am using Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 and have imported a 5.1 channel .aac file. I am, however, unable to edit that file in STP. I can see all 5 channels but they are all greyed out, meaning I cannot individually do anything with those tracks. When I copy and paste them in a new file, I get all five channels in one channel (five separate sound files but all on one track).
    Can anyone please help me how to edit each track separately?

    OKay I attempted to open the .aac file by choosing 'All Files' option and first I encountered this Error Message:
    Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks. Please use 'Fix Timecode Breaks' to fix this stream.
    I chose 'Fix Now'
    Afterwards it appeared the file was open in MPEGStreamclip though I still got the empty screen with five blue dots in the middle.
    I then tried to 'Export Audio'
    and chose AIFF as Format
    However I got a second Error Message saying
    Error: can't prepare the movie
    One more thing, I want to be able to import all Five Channel and edit them individually and while trying to export audio in MPEGStreamclip I noticed that it was exporting file as two channel stereo file only.
    Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  • How to open and edit "*.txt" file with "Notepad"

    Hello guys!
    I'm facing problem with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and got no clue how to solve it.
    What I want to do is to open "*.txt" (which is placed to "Documents Library") in "Notepad", so I could edit it and save (publish) directly to SharePoint from "Notepad".
    If I upload any Microsoft office File, such as "*.docx", "*.xls", etc - it works as it should - document opens in appropriate application and everybody is happy.
    But, when I create documents library, put some "*.txt" file there and click on it - it opens in new browser's tab as text, so I cannot edit the file.
    What I tried to do is to activate feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" - not happy.
    Edit "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML" - I've modified "txt" entry as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <DocIcons>
        <ByProgID>
        </ByProgID>
        <ByExtension>
    <Mapping Key="txt" Value="ictxt.gif" EditText="Notepad" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
        </ByExtension>
        <Default>
            <Mapping Value="icgen.gif"/>
        </Default>
    </DocIcons>
    Still not happy.
    So, how do I make this stuff work?

  • How to open and edit CRP files?

    Hi,
    at my workplace I see the following folders:
    C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UsageLogs
    In this folder I see secret files like: 20090115.CRP and 20090115-web.CRP
    Each days ZenWorks create this 2 files.
    How can I open and edit it? Which software have to install at home for check it? I'm interested in very much what contain this files...
    Thanks,

    Those files would be software usage metering files. There is no software to the best of my knowledge that opens those files. They are loaded automatically by the collection server into the database.
