HD Transport stream to SD dvd compliant m2v?

What's the best way to take a high def transport stream (.ts) and convert it to an m2v I can use in dvdsp?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jason

There is no single setting that will give the "best" results under every possible situation. However, you might want to try 2-pass VBR or a GOP structure of IP with a smaller GOP size. If you try the latter you might also need to increase the target or average data rate by at least several tenths of a Mbps.
Something like the following:
Average data rate: 6.7 (Mbps)
2 Pass VBR enabled
Maximum data rate: 8.4 (Mbps)
High quality
Best motion estimation
Closed GOP Size: 6, Structure: IP

MPEG-2 Video, .m2v, Transport-Streams

I have searched through all of the Forum but still no solution.
Like many people here I have QT PRO (on Leopard) and the MPEG-2 Playback Codec (Version 6.4.1) installed. When I record from TV via Cable or DVB-T I always get a MPEG-2 Transport Stream. I know how to handle these and I know how to convert them. My question is regarding the Finder Preview Issue.
When you have selected in Finder to show the Preview of a file it will go for a long cup of coffee when it comes to selecting a .m2v or MPEG Transport Stream file, i.e. the Finder crashes. This is a phenomina since QT 7. Apple promised a better handling of .m2v for the 10.3.9 Update but I cannot see any changes.
I don't need to preview those files if it is not supported. This would be nice to have but I don't really need to. Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to
1) prevent Finder Preview from crashing or
2) get this to work
I tried some hints from here like re-associating .m2v with the Quicktime Player but it didn't resolve my Issue. Is there maybe someone from Apple reading this and being able to help out?
Many thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe "true" transport streams have ever been supported by the QT MPEG-2 Playback component and, by extension, would not be supported by either the Finder Preview or QuickLooK.

M2V/AIFF elementary stream files, "muxed" MPEG (MPEG2/MP2 or MPEG2/MP1), and MOV (MPEG2/any compatible audio) all play fine for me in both the Finder Preview and QuickLook. The only problem are VOBs whose video content play fine in the QT Player but have to have their extension changed to MPEG to play in either the Finder Preview or QuickLook. Frankly, I am unable to duplicate your problem except for "true" MPEG-2 Transport Streams, which, as I previously said I don't believe have ever been QT compatible.

Encore csa wants to transcode files that are already dvd compliant

Hi:
I have a PPCS4 sequence that is already DVD compliant. The video files are .mpg and the settings for the sequence are NTSC. I can author the individual files in Encore with no problems, but when I import the sequence they're edited into in PP, Encore claims they are untrancoded. The original files were AVCHD, and I transcoded them into vob, and then to mpg, because PP wouldn't open vob files. I've tried countless ways to get the best quality final product, and the AVCHD-vob-mpg seems to be the best. I just can't stop encore from transcoding and then my final product is crap. The footage is interlaced and it has serious "combing" when I have Encore encode it again. Below are the settings for all of the various files/sequences/projects. If anyone can shed light on this, I'd be very grateful.

Personally, I would not go from AVCHD>VOB>MPG.
I would go from AVCHD (if that is all there is) to an interim uncompressed 4:2:2 Quicktime first & then encode that straight to DVD compliant MPEG-2.
You don;t mention if your .mpg file is an audio/video multiplex, and given the retranscoding I suspect it is.
Encore prefers elementary streams (separated audio & vide) where the video is an .m2v file and the audio is a 16/48 LPCM file.
The reason your transcodea are looking so bad is because AVCHD is lossy, and going to a multiplexed VOB file is also lossy, then from this to .mpg and you are losing detail every single time you go through another lossy version.
Take your source files, encode to interim lossless/uncompressed & from there to MPEG-2.

Can't render muxed MPEG2 with transport stream selected

I'm trying to render an MPEG2 that has the audio integrated with the video (muxed). I was told to select the transport stream option, but when I do, Compressor shows the error icon-that little yellow triangle with the exclamation point. I don't know what it's trying to tell me is the problem. I tried rendering it anyway and of course the render failed.
I'm coming up on a deadline and stand to lose $2000. HELP!

Thanks for the link but it doesn't really address my issue. It's very strange because I don't see any reason why Compressor ought to be failing in the render just because I've selected the transport stream option in the extras tab. I tried a render without that option selected just to see if Compressor was failing on all fronts, but an unmuxed version rendered successfully. I even tried copying my FCP sequence into a new timeline, nesting it and trying to render a .m2t file that way. But that didn't help either. Eventually I downloaded free software called MPEG Streamclip which allowed me to convert a DVD copy of my sequence into a muxed mpg.

MPEG-2 with audio but no transport stream?

We have a Leightronix Nexus, which is a new whizbang digital video playback device for cable studios. It supports transfer of MPEG-2 files, but thus far I haven't been able to make a compatible MPEG-2 file with Compressor. Leightronix only does Windows so they've been of no help.
Here are the requirements as listed in the Nexus manual:
-MPEG-2 Program Stream, consisting of a single elementary video stream with an optional single elementary audio stream. In big letters it says "Transport stream is not possible."
The other specs seem fine; I think it's the lack of a transport stream that fouls it up. Compressor, in the audio checkbox, says "Select this to create an MPEG-2 Transport stream with multiplexed audio."
Is there a way to get audio into an MPEG-2 file without using a transport stream? If Compressor can't do this, are there any other (hopefully inexpensive) tools that can?
One interesting thing is if I copy one of the mpeg-2 files created on the Nexus itself (by having it digitize video), it plays quite fine in Quicktime Player.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Or, you can just use a freeware tool like MPEG Streamclip to combine Compressor's elementary .m2v output with its .AIFF audio and produce a multiplexed program stream. The $10 MPEG2 Works shareware app will also do the same (along with several other operations).

Transport Stream Problems

My compressor keep locking up when I set it to export in "MPEG-2/Transport Stream" setting. I would like to export in this setting because I believe that this is how Toast encodes to BluRay.
Any ideas/thoughts/solutions?
Go Hornets!

I'm not sure about your transport stream problem, but Toast doesn't need it; it will use its AVCHD encoder on a regular QT movie; I exported a self contained QT movie from an FCP timeline, dragged it into the Toast window, and let it encode; it worked well.
If you send Toast a previously compressed file, it will encode it again in the AVCHD format, probably at a loss of quality.
Toast can burn the Blu Ray format to a standard DVD, giving you about 30 minutes of HD footage, and using your standard DVD burner.

I have produced several short iMovie projects and want to link them into a continuous stream on a DVD. Can it be done? All of the projects are in my Moblie Me Gallery

I have produced several short (2 to 3 minute) iMovie projects and want to link them in a continuous stream on a DVD. The clips are in my Mobile Me gallery. How can it be done?

You can do that too, it's all in the iDVD program.
But first you want to assemble the separate clips into one big long clip. For that you would use iMovie. Share to the Media Browser (choose the Large size). Let it export then quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, click on the Media button and then the Movies button. Under the iMovie star icon you will see your final assembled clips movie. In the iDVD project window turn on the map view (it's little boxes that look like a flowchart) then drag the iMovie project into the first box:
You can set the project to startup without a Menu, and then loop continuously as well. Go up to the Advanced Menu then click on the Loop movie option to turn it on.
Once checked the Loop movie status will appear as curved arrow icon in the Project Window:
In the lower right corner is the icon indicating this video clip will loop while being played.

Generating transport stream for dectek card - testing purposes

Hi
I'm going to buy the recently released dectek card: DTA-110TSP in order to make MHP testing.
Before getting it I asked about the possibility to use this card in order to make mhp testing... they assured me it is possible, but that I have to provide in input a transport stream with my xlets embedded in it.
So, my question... How can I generate a transport stream and add my xlet in it in order to send it to the card? are there free software that allows this? or low cost softwares?
thanks for any help
Ignazio

hi mr halil
your question is not completely clear to me.
if your question is: is this justdvb-it carousel software good enough to run 24x7 on a broadcaster network, i'm going to say a sound yes: we have plenty of regional broadcasters in italy using this server for interactive tv
if your question is: will i be able to configure properly the justdvb-it config files and a linux box so as to put in place a reliable system for my broadcast.. the answer is: this is just a matter of skills and knowledge.. (both on dvb/mhp and linux OS)
this is exactly the "value add" we give to our customers.. anyway, it's a long story, and an off topic one. so if you want, contact me to my email address [email protected]

Trying to make MPEG2 HD 422 Transport stream at constant bit rate

I am trying to make a Compressor Preset to make MPEG2 HD 422 Transport stream 1920x1080i with a Constant Bit Rate of 15 Mbps and Open GOP structure . but when I select MPEG transport stream I can't make it a Constant Bit Rate and the GOP structure is set to Closed and "Grayed Out"
I am making files for our Playout Server and this is the specs requested by the manufacturer.
Is there a way to make this setting or do I just need to go to Adobe Media Encoder?

K47MU-D wrote:

Media Encoder is a very good choice for what you need to do.
Other than bit rate, Compressor offers very little in the way of adjustments to their presets for program streams and transport stream.
Good luck.

CS5.5 will not export MPEG2 Transport stream with mpg extension?

I am creating video for the local cable access channel. I have been using the MPEG2 NTSC DV High Quality preset. That preset outputs MPEG layer 2 audio. The cable access coordinator says that those files will not play audio from the Soloist media server, even though the specs for that server calls for MPEG layer 2 audio. Those files play ok in Windows Media Player. When analyzed with AVIcodec, GSpot, and VideoInspector, they all show there is MPEG layer 2 audio. The server shows no audio at all in one of it's reports.
I had previously been using an older version of Final Cut Pro and Compressor. I no longer have access to that computer but I believe I had been exporting a Program Stream. The access channel's documentation calls for Transport Stream. When exporting Transport Stream MuliplexingMPEG2 video in CS5.5 Media Encoder, the output file has the .m2t extension. These 3 codec analyzers aren't recognizing this as MPEG2. I assume that the video server will not recognize this m2t file extension at all. Final Cut's compressor did output the Program Stream MPEG2 with the mpg extension.
Is there a way to export Transport Stream MPEG2 video with MPEG layer 1 audio and have an .mpg file extension on the resulting file?
Also, anyone familiar enough with PID values to know if that could have any bearing on why the MPEG layer 2 audio is not being detected in that video server when I use the MPEG2 NTSC High Quality presets?
Thanks for any help.

Jeff,
I am still waiting to here back from the access channel coordinator to see if the test file encoded this way would be recognized and play correctly. The files can only be tested when the server is off-line so it takes awhile for a response. Thanks for your help. I'll post when I get word of that file status.

Why does Encore try to re-transcode compliant M2V files?

Encore will only try to re-transcode an MPEG-2 file in 2 circumstances.
1 - The asset is not properly DVD-Compliant.
This could be for several reasons, the most likely offenders being either too high a bitrate or an incorrect GOP size. DVD-Video limits us to a total
i combined Audio & Video
bitrate of 9800 kbps, or 9.8 Mb/s. This is also a peak value, not an average one. The easiest way to check the bitrate is with the excellent "Bitrate Viewer" available from http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm
2 - The total combined bitrate of the Audio & Video files
i on the timeline
exceeds the maximum bitrate set in the Project Settings (Advanced).
If, for example, this is set to 7Mb/sec, and the peak rates when combined
i exceed
this number, Encore will re-transcode.
The only solution in both cases is to re-transcode the original source file to MPEG-2 or else to use the uncompressed asset & allow Encore to transcode automatically.

The authoring itself is possible. It can be done (and is also being promoted as such) in Encore.
Also there is a possibility to burn simple Bluray discs (or even normal DVD discs with Bluray content that play on Bluray players) in Toast 10.
Thanks...

How to Import a MPEG-3-ts (Transport Stream) into Final Cut Pro ?

Hello All;
I just bought Final Cut Studio and I am trying to figure out how to import some video footage that I captured using ArcSoft's totalMedia software via a HD HomeRun High Definition TV decoder. I have verified that the video is being saved in MPEG-2 Transport Stream format but I've tried everything but still can't import it into Final Cut Pro. I've purchased the MPEG 2 Quicktime component but then realized that it doesn't work with Transport Streams. Then I downloaded MPEG StreamClip for Mac which does play the clips on a Mac but I need to obtain the codec so I can import them into Final Cut Pro. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thanks. Tim

I do:
"You need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to an editable format, such as those found in Final Cut Pro's Easy Setup menu.
For HD, your best choice is ProRes, DVCPro HD or Apple Intermediate Codec."
And so does Nick.

Exporting to MPEG 2 HD with Transport Stream, 1920x1080

Hi,
I am trying to export a Pr project to the following requested settings: MPEG 2 HD with Transport Stream, 1920x1080. From the Format I selected MPEG2. I also adjusted the frame under the video tab to 1920. However, I have a feeling that something is not right. Please help.

Hi Colin,
Is MPEG2 a HD setting?
Thanks,

[Cisco FAQ] - Why does the DCM still show a transport stream on a Gbe input although it is not present anymore?

How do I change this?

This usually means that the input transport stream still has some settings o Check the alarm status of the input TS. Here you will see the reason why the TS still exists o Check that all input TS settings are set to the “default” value : to do this double click on the Gbe input TS and check all tabs : Services, TS FEC, TS Settings, TS Loss, TS Backup and make sure “default” settings are applied everywhere o Check that nothing is groomed anymore from the TS. From V5.1 onwards it is possible to right-click an input service and do a “Find Destinations” on it, … When all settings are reset to “default” values and nothing is groomed anymore from the TS, the TS should disappear completely after a maximum of 2 minutes
