Exporting MPEG 2 files with audio & video tracks COMBINED?

I want to post a film on Google Video. I'm told they like MPEG2 files, but with the audio and video combined.
How can I create an MPEG2 with the video and audio combined?
I've also been told I can change the .m2v extension to .mpg after I've encoded, without causing problems. Their 'uploader application' doesn't like the .m2v extension.
Thanks,
Ben

Compressor's standard mpeg2 export presets are set up to create separate audio and video files. Changing a m2v extension to mpg does nothing. You still have a file with only video.
However, deeper in Compressor is the means to create muxed (mixed audio and video) files. Do a search here, it has been discussed a few times.
Still, why not send them an mpeg4 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.

MPEG-2 Output audio & video in ONE File

I have a lot of videos to batch in MPEG-2 and I need the output to be ONE .M2V file with audio in it. I know that I can do this with Quicktime Pro but that requires me to do this one video at a time. My Compressor presets are great but the output is a M2V file and a separate AIFF file.
Is there any preset setting in Compressor where the MPEG-2 file includes both audio and video in same file?

OOHH.. you need a transport stream?
and since you did mention broadcasting, it makes sense now.
i use the optibase encoder to create elementary .m2v and .ac3 files, then i create a .cfg file and i use manzanitas multiplexer (sp).
but if you dont have that, you can also use MPEG Streamclip to export to your transport file.
as far as creating transport streams on compressor, unless someone knows otherwise, the answer would be no.
but do check out the above app i suggest. it works, but not as good as the multiplexer, but it IS free
Mikey
rereading your post, i see you are asking about a batch transport encoder. the closest i can think of is the above mentioned app by manzanita.
here is the link:
http://www.lilapple.com/mp2tsme.html
it is both a gui based app, but is more powerful (IMHO) command line.
the gui does have a batch option, but you can just as fast write the command syntax.
it works wonders for me! also, it has a trial version, check it out!

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??

How can i stream my powerpoint presentation with audio video content to the display devices

i wanted to stream my Power point presentation with audio/video content inserted in between the slides how can i achieve this requirements
is there any harware or software available for this
Please let me know
Thanks

This is not a straightforward procedure. I normally take the exported PPt file onto a windows machine and import the video files into PPt before sending to a client
Once the folder is copied to windows, the video files have to be imported again manually to relink the files as they loose the link in the export
Check that the video files are copied into the same folder as the Powerpoint file
The only file types playable from Powerpoint in widows are: mpeg wmv avi
Use wmv for best quality and compatibility

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

MPEG-2 with audio

Is there a way to export an mpeg-2 file with audio?
Thank you for any help.

You can try Compressor3.03, in the inspector window, click extras tab and check the Mutiplexed Mpeg-1/Layer 2 Audio, select "Program stream".

Exporting to mpeg2 with audio

Trying to export to MPEG2 with audio from fcp studio to broadcast over cable, anyone know how to do this.

So, you need a muxed file? You may need to buy Sorenson Squeeze and check the station for the exact settings or the web for settings files. (i.e. I found a Fast Channel setting online somewhere)

How to send files like audio,video,images and text via RMI..

Hi everyone,
As I am working under a project, my own, of creating a chat machine, I've thought to make it capable of doing everything that MSN or yahoo MSN can do. Till now I've just been able to send messages and some small icons as expressions. So, my next step will be making my progam able to send even other files like audio, video, images and text to the person on the other machine to whom I'm chatting. But as I don't have any idea on how to start doing it, I want anyone who think he/she can help me to give me the basic logic that is used to do so. I would very much appreciate it. I've used vectors to store the text messages which is visible to all the users using the chat program enabling them to see various messages in it.
thank you...

Hi,
Now, I got stuck because the code doesn't seem to work well. For large files with around 40 mb or more size couldn't be sent. I have constructed the code, just rough sketch, as follows:
** In the Server Implementation class I've used FileInputStream to read the contents of a file that is sent as an argument to the method.
** Similarly, in the client side I've used RandomAccessFile to save the received array of bytes.
public void sendFile(File f)
   ChatServer cs=(ChatServer)Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost/ChatServer");
   cs.readsAndStoreTheFileInTheServer(f); // In the Server Implementation the contents of the file is read and saved in an array of byte. later method is invoked by the client to get the array of the saved byte.
   cs.message("-Accept-"); // When a client receives this word then a JComponent with accept and cancel button will be constructed from where other clients can save/cancel the sent file.
}For small size files this code works well but for files more than 40 mb of size it is useless. I wonder if there's any other alternative.
regards,
Jay

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.
Thanks

How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables?

How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables? Our van only has these connections. Apple did have a cable that worked with the 4/4S, but it does not work with an adapter on the 5S. I want audio only.

I Thought I probably was.
something like this should work then, right?

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO: are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
thanks,

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.

How can I export a file with transparent background?

Hi all,
I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.
