Can't make MPEG-2 with audio via Compressor

Hi guys, help,
I'm trying to make a single file MPEG-2 with video AND audio exporting from FCP.
This file is intented for broadcast television, so i can't end up with 2 seperate audio/video files.
Every time I select MULTIPLEXED MPEG-1/LAYER 2 AUDIO I get some *.m2t file which I cannot play in anything. Is it possible to just get a simple MPEG-2 file with audio and video?
Many thanks.

Are you using Compressor 2 or 3? In v.3 there are 3 MPEG-2 options, listed under Apple/Formats/MPEG-2/
they are:
Elementary Stream which is your basic .m2v file, video only, used for DVDs
Program Stream which is a .mpg file - probably the one you would want
Transport Stream - .m2t file - what you are getting now.
I am not familiar enough with the different streams to give you a breakdown of what they all mean, but I have encountered similar issues. The .m2t file will play on systems that recognize the format, unforunately the Mac doesn't seem to recognize it natively (and yet it created it!!) The .mpg is probably what you are looking for but I remember having problems building it in Compressor 2 so you might want to consider the upgrade. Worth it for Compressor alone in our shop!
Now for my problem, does anyone know how to get a 5.1 mix embedded into the .m2t file??

  • Can't create MPEG 2 with audio

    I have a 2 minute HD 720p sequence created in FCP. I'm supposed to convert it into an MPEG 2 File with audio, NTSC 4:3 Letterboxed and no bigger than 45MB.
    Every time I try, I get an unrecognizeable file with an extesion .mts instead of .m2v.
    I'm using compressor 2. So far I...
    1) Selected DVD Fastest Encode 90 min/ 4:3
    2) Selected MPEG 2 6.2 mbp 1 pass 4:3
    3) In inspector, kept default except : Average Bit Rate 2.4; Field Dominance - Automatic; Multiplexed MPEG -1/Layer Audio.
    It's on this 3rd step that I notice the file name gets changed. I'm also not sure how to do the letterboxing. Any help appreciated - this is due ASAP!

    What are you going to use your MPEG-2 file for?
    If you want an MPEG-2 .mpeg file with both video and audio, you need to make an MPEG-2 Program Stream. Exactly what did you do earlier when making m2v with audio earlier? Maybe you included the an audio preset too, from the DVD presets folder? That is the way you do it if you want to author your DVD using DVD Studio Pro. Then you want a separate video and audio file, to bring into DVD Studio Pro.
    Transport Streams have the .mts extension (wrapper), while Program Streams have the .mpeg extension (wrapper).
    Compressor 3 User Manual: page 60:
    • m2t: Represents MPEG-2 transport stream.
    • mpeg: Represents MPEG-2 program stream.
    Compressor 3 User Manual: page 183:
    About Elementary, Transport, and Program Streams
    There are three common MPEG-2 stream types that are used to deliver MPEG-2 encoded video:
    • Elementary streams: These streams contain only one MPEG-2 content channel and no audio. Elementary streams are required if you intend to use your MPEG-2 encoded video as a DVD Studio Pro asset.
    • Transport streams: These streams can contain several MPEG-2 content channels and associated audio. All the channels are multiplexed together, allowing the receiver to choose which to play back. Compressor supports creating single-channel transport streams that can optionally include associated audio. Transport streams can also recover from interruptions during playback, making them ideally suited for broadcast and streaming applications where noise or network congestion can lead to interruptions.
    • Program streams: These streams contain only one MPEG-2 content channel and its associated audio. Program streams require an error-free delivery method and are primarily used for storage or processing within a computer. By default, the Compressor MPEG-2 encoder creates elementary MPEG-2 steams. You can configure the MPEG-2 encoder to create transport or program streams and choose whether they should include audio in the Extras tab. See “Extras Tab” on page 197 for more information.
    Note: All the Stream Usage settings except Generic output elementary streams. If you select any of the other Stream Usage settings and then configure the output to be either a transport or program stream, the Stream Usage changes to Generic. See “Stream Usage” on page 185 for more information.

  • Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows?

    Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray so I cannot start audio chat. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not? I am confused.

    HI,
    You need to satisfy several things along the way
    Account type
    You need to have a Jabber or Google mail Account your self.
    If you have a Google Mail Account then it needs the "Talk" option Enabled in your Google account Settings ( A Facebook with "Chat" enabled is also a  valid Jabber ID to use in iChat).
    Connection Method
    This is about which apps can connect to which apps for Video ro Audio to work.
    iChat Video when using a Jabber account is iChat to iChat Only.
    iChat connects using a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
    Jabber based Apps if they have  an A/V module connect using protocol called Jingle.
    Needless to say Google do their own version of this that is written in to the web Browser Plugin that allows Video Chats (there are PC and Mac versions), and in the PC app called GoogleTalk.
    However it is also not that compatible with other Jabber apps.
    See Jingle here
    This claims, now, that Google had a hand in writing the Protocol.
    Also in the "Clients Supporting Jingle" list many more version of Google products are mentioned with extended info. (it suggests that someone at Google has been editing the page).
    Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not?
    The specific answer to this to be clear is NO.
    We are talking about different Apps (or web Browser Plugins) using different Internet Protocols that are not compatible.
    The simplest thing is to get the Web Browser Plugin (However there can be issues with the  Flash Plugin)
    At one time Google used Flash to do Video Chats and it would seem their Plugin is very close to this part of Flash.
    See the Known Issues and the "Google Talk Plugin Disables iSight On Mac" item.
    Options
    Use a Web Browser yourself with the Plugin.
    Use a Flash Base Site such as MeBeam  (Flash has to be enabled in your Browser and the instructions are simple on the page)
    Try to find a Jingle capable Mac Jabber Client (app) ( I have not found one).

    How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?
    Instead of it starting up with a dialogue box to select an existing or start a new document.

    @Alley_Cat thanks for the ideas.
    I turned off System Preferences > iCloud > Documents&Data - problem solved.
    I'll use DropBox instead  - it provides the options for a better experience.  I hope Apple keep working on iCloud so that it doesn't go the way of Moble Me.

  • How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

    I would like to use a popup to create new record.
    I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
    however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
    How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
    Thanks

    You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
    If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
    resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
        public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
            FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = ctx.getApplication();
            ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
            ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
            ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
            Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
            valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
        }

  • I can't make a? with out an E popping up??? How do I remove the E?

    I can't make a? with out an E popping up??? How do I remove the E?

    This does not sound like a Thunderbird problem. It sounds like a keyboard problem.
    Are you saying that you can use that same keyboard in '''any program''' eg: Word etc and you press 'a' key and get an 'a' printed but when you use Thunderbird to compose an email suddenly the 'a' key prints and 'E' ?
    I would have expected that this keyboard issue would apply to any program , Notepad, Word, etc.
    Check you have the correct language selected for the keyboard.
    'Control Panel' > 'Regional & Language Options' > 'Keyboards & Languages' tab

  • Can't make a call with Siri

    Can't make a call with Siri, it says "calling x..." then "sorry, i cant call the mobile number of x..."

    According to this forum: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2175165/all, it seems that Siri is expecting a 7-8 digit phone numbers excluding the country code and area code, so adding an extra "0" digit or two at the back of the phone number may be able to fix your problem. The phone number should still connect correctly. Try that, it works for me in Indonesia where some phone numbers are still 6 digits.
