Export mpeg-2 (m2v)

I am trying to export final cut pro movie in mpeg-2 (m2v), but when i do this, i receive and error message saying : DVD Studio Pro must be serialized first in order to run Quicktime MPEG Encoder...
I am running the Final cut Studio suite...
Whatever the program i use to try to export a movie in m2v, i receive the same message....
Thanks
Rach

In a pinch and frankly I think to use a faster and equal or better MPEG-2 encoder you can use Toast 7.
Set Toast preferences for "converted items" to "never" purge them - vs. at closing or success or whatever the default is now.
Make a DVD layout with whatever name (if not named it is "My DVD" , good enough) and whatever MPEG-2 bitrate you want and motion detection quality on the "more" button popup.
Select "make a disk image" - in which case it doesn't care if the image is 50GB in size (I have batch processed 90GB of clips at once over a day and a half)
Let it encode. Go to the Roxio Coverted Items directory and the source M2V and AC3 files are there.

Can't export MPEG-2 with alpha matte

Can't export an .mpeg 2 with an alpha from after effects using media encoder. Is there a way to do this? The editor I am working with only accepts MPEG 2 for his lower thirds.
Unfortunately I do not have a choice of formats and have to export MPEG 2 with an alpha. Easy enough with QuickTime and .Avi but have not seen an option with MPEG 2 in either after effects or encoder.

No prob's
1. Ensure that compressor is installed on your system.
2. Export the sequence as a Quicktime movie using sequence settings.
3. Launch compressor and bring your exported sequnce in, now you can apply one of the presets and, over time, read the manual and understand all of the subtleties of compression.

Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.

Compressor 3 no audio when export mpeg 2 ts

I imported a .mov files to compressor 3, but there are no audio when I export Mpeg 2 TS(by default setting)...
(1) I can hear audio on preview
(2) export no matter extentions m2t or mpg , no audio.....

the mpeg2 files mux (mix) the audio & video together in one stream.
To work with the files in FCP, you must demux them. The application MPEG Streamclip can do this for you. Google it, it's free.

Manual export mpeg-2

how can i manually export fcp video as mpeg-2 and dd without using compressor and batch monitor? compressor consistently crashes during export and encoding and is useless.

Daniel
I'm having nightmares using Compressor the very first time, and am looking for any solution.I've posted my problem to the Compressor forum, but no response yet.At this stage, after 3 days of wasted time,and in sheer desperation I'd be interested in any method by which I might avoid Compressor.I won't email you direct unless you say OK.
Regards. Robert.
you actually CAN and SHOULD export MPEG
directly from FCP through Quicktime, with no
workarounds, no reference movies, no Compressor.

What is the advantage of exporting mpeg-dvd vs mpeg for dvd if mpeg does not need to transcode audio

What is the advantage of exporting mpeg-dvd vs mpeg for dvd if mpeg does not need to transcode audio and also burns to dvd?

The MPEG2-DVD preset also produces a DVD spec-legal file. If you use the generic MPEG2 preset, you can too easily create an out-of-spec file that will have to be re-transcoded by En.

Adobe Design Premium exporting MPEG II

I am working on a client PC. They have adobe design premium cs5.5 (a version of the CS package I am not familiar with).
it is running on windows 7 64 bit professional.
They want to export MPEG II (for DVD) and H264 versions of files from a quicktime LT master.
I am seem to have very limited export setting available within media encoder, and no MPEG II. Any suggestions on whether this is a set up problem, a legacy codec not included in adobe design premium 5.5 or some other problem which I have not thought of?

Design Premium products have limited version of AME that doesn't support many format. For 5.5, you need to have Premiere Pro, Production Premium or Master Collection to get access to full export options including MPEG II. Since those products no longer are available for sale, your client can subscribe to Creative Cloud Complete 2014 (or Premiere Pro CC 2014) which gives them latest AME that allows MPEG II encoding. https://creative.adobe.com/plans

QuickTime and mpeg-2 (.m2v)

Hello.
Is there an option to export video in mpeg-2 format in QuickTime 7 Pro?? If so, how do I go about this? And if not, how do I export m2v's using QuickTime 7 Pro?
Thank you!

The answer is to use Compressor (a part of the high end apps).
You can still use your existing software (if you have another drive partition) and the appropriate software.
I use two drives (and various OS's) to accomplish this work.
QuickTime 7 (on a Tiger machine) no longer supports MPEG-2 export. This could be a good (or bad) thing based on your use.
One of the reasons I use an external drive and multiple partitions on my Mac mini.
Older software has a value I paid to use.

Exporting MPEG 2

is there a reason that when I export my sequence in MPEG2(marked from in and out points), it doesn't export as a single file? There is a m2v file and an aif file. Is there a way to export them together? thanks,
-Brian

I found DVD SP impossible to understand at first, until I watched the short video tutorial on the DVD Video that comes with Final Cut Studio - then it all made sense, and I have been very happy with it ever since.
If you have it, it is well worth learning, and a single track, no menu DVD that just plays a video when you put it into a player is quite easy to make - especially now you have your MPEG and audio files ready to go - give it a try.
To use iDVD, you need a quicktime file of your movie, iDVD will then do the MPEG encoding (again) and is fairly simple to use.
If you know neither iDVD or DVD SP, and have DVD SP, you should jump into DVD SP, it will be fine.

Controlling output dimensions while exporting MPEG-2

Hi,
I'm supposed to send an MPEG-2 video file that is anamorphic (16/9) and the size of 720*576 pixels. The problem is that Compressor automatically makes the file's dimensions either 720*404 pixels (16/9) or 720*540 pixels (4/3).
So, is there a way to force the dimensions as desired? Or, is there some other program that could be used to export Movs into MPEG-2? I've tried using Cleaner and as I recall there were problems too.
It has occurred to me that the problem might also be that MPEG-2 -format cannot handle any other pixel aspects than the basic square pixel, is this the case? If it is, is there a way to make the dimensions 1024*576?

This might just be QuickTime doing its own thing with the display size. Is this maybe a bug in QuickTime? I think it might be. My PAL SD Anamorphic MPEG-2 files also have the dimensions of 720x404, when opened in QuickTime. In the Inspector of both Compressor and DVD Studio Pro, it says 720x576, with a PAL CCIR 601 (16:9) pixel aspect ratio, which is exactly right. I checked the MPEG stream info in MPEG Streamclip too, where it says 720x576.
What does Compressor say about your .m2v file if you try adding it as source in a new job? Try adding it in DVD Studio Pro too, and check the inspector window when you select the file in the Assets window.
For MPEG-2 PAL SD Anamorphic (16:9), it should look like this in the Inspector window of both Compressor and DVD Studio Pro.

My exported mpeg2-dvd m2v file won't playback an image in Encore CS6 or QT?

I've also posted in Encore, but this group sees a lot more traffic and supposed to deliver tomorrow.
Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP CC 2014, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
I don't know if this is an export issue, or an import-into-Encore issue. I get sound but no image in the Encore monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
Thanks for any leads.

If you can post screen grabs of the Export Settings and Encore screen, might be of help. Have not run into this before, no video in Encore.
Thanks

Importing MPEG-2, M2V in AE CS3

Hi!
I have a lot of mod files, and i planned to work with Premiere Pro CS3 and After Effects CS3. Premiere can import and work with mod files if I demux them to m2v, but if i try to import the Premiere project file, or just import an m2c file, its not even visible in the import pop-up menu, and AF wont open them - but the help says the program supports all MPEG-2 and M2V videos.
What should I do? If i need a coded, where can i get it?

Working on projects with trial versions is not a good idea, because trials always have limitations and you can't get proper support, so I hope that you were not on a professional gig with tight deadline.
BTW, i do recommend you (but that won't solve your problem) to dl the CS4 demo version, you'll at least get all the benefits from CS4 over CS3.

Whats the point of "Add Encore Chapter Marker" if I have to export it to m2v to use the sequence in

Eh collegues there is a button on the timeline "Add Encore Chapter MArker"
But since I have to export the entire sequence in M2V and WAV if i want to use it in enocre, then whats the point of this?
Can i put the timeline to encore without having to export the whole project in m2v via the "File>Export>Export to encore" option?

File, export, movie. Export as dv avi. then open encore and import as timeline.
You can make chapter points in premiere as well, but you have to use sequence markers. when you export movie, make sure you include chapter markers under compile settings. Or you can make chapter markers in encore.

Exporting Mpeg-1

I have a 250MB movie file that is an MPEG-1. I've tried exporting it to MPEG-4 but I get an error, and when I export it to various other formats there is no audio, just video. Is this because the a/v tracks are muxed; is there anyway I can export this to a smaller video format ?

MPEG Streamclip.
Free. Use it to convert to QuickTime formats.

Exported MPEG file to iPod, but there is no sound...

I purchased Quicktime Pro and read all the information on how to export a video file so that it plays on my iPod. I waited the 8-10 or so hours for it to export, and when I tried to play it back there was no sound for that file.
HOW CAN I FIX THAT???

QuickTime Pro doesn't export audio from muxed track files. You found that out.
You'll need other software to either export your MPEG-1 file to iPod specs or to QuickTime formats.
Check in the iPod forums. You'll find lots of Windows software discussed.
