I rendered a h.264 m2ts file at 17M bitrate, why Encore says bitrate is too high?
17M is so low, so I have to render an AVI file and import it to Encore and let Encore transcode it, bitrate can be set to 40M, why? Encore's transcoding is toooo slow!
I rendered the m2ts files use Edius.
Help!
Thanks everyone!

Thank you Stan Jones!
I had set Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate to 40Mbbps in Project Settings' Default Transcode Setting dialog, and my Authoring Mode is Blu-ray. Things did not change.
But my m2ts file should be set to "Don't Transcode", so the values of transcode settings should not affect my m2ts file.
I've just find one thing: it seems that m2ts files rendered by Edius 5 will not work well in encore, while Edius 6's work better. I test some Edius 6's m2ts files over 30Mbps, it work. Is there something wrong with Edius or Encore?

I'm having problems rendering out h.264 720p files

this is what i get and my settings
my export settings were untouched and default

I was exporting h.264 files fine, but suddenly it gave me the error thing. Don't think I changed anything for that to happen.
If I export animation QuickTime won't that make huge file size's?
Will check that Wikipedia page.
Thanks!

DTS HD audio is missing from .m2ts file

I am learning how to use Premiere Pro by extracting the musical numbers from a commercial blu-ray disk (which I purchased). The master .m2ts files are fine, playing nicely in the appropriate player. The .m2ts file audio is encoded with DTS HD-MA. However when I bring the .m2ts file into Premiere Pro or Encore CS5 there is no audio. In the browser by the thumbnail I see the video described (1920 x 1080 (1.0), 23.976 fps, but there is no audio description. Playing the preview I see the video without any audio. I'm using a 12 cpu MacPro August 2010, 48 gb ram.
One possibility might be that I am lacking DTS-HD support. However I was hoping that there might be some way to simply extract the clip from the master .m2ts file with the original audio, and then generate a new file just copying the master audio track (clipped), without processing.
My goal is to transfer the clips to a PS3 in order to play the clips with the original audio bitrate (4-5 mbps). Is this possible? Unfortunately the PS3 has the same problem, it also plays the .m2ts file without the audio.

Better use material you shot yourself, or get the original material from the copyright owner. As you noticed DTS is not supported, but the company that has given you (written) permission to edit their material may have the audio in an editable format.

Rendering AVCHD files to H.264 causes file size to go up!!

Hi everyone,
I have a Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder that produces files in AVCHD format (.mts file extension). The camera natively produces file which are approx 100mb for every 1 min of video (1440x1080 setting). My issues is that when I add files to the timeline and then render them in Premiere Elements 7 using the H.264 1440x1080i format (creates a M2T file) the file size actually doubles (1 min is now approx 200mb). I'm only bringing the files into PRE 7 so I can add transitions, but I cannot afford the disk space if the program will double each videos size.
Is there a different setting I should be using to just do basic editing and not change the source quality? I know the camera adds significant compression to the file, but why would it grow in size when I render.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mark

Update:
If I go in the Share Tab and click the advanced button I am able to fine tune my rendering settings. I found that changing the Bitrate Settings on the video tab will allow me reduce the file size. The default settings is 21 Mbps for both target and Max, I think it is WAY higher than the Sony Camcorder does natively so that is why the file size was growing??? is this correct?
Anyways, changing the Maximum Bitrate slider to about 10.1 Mbps gave me a file size equal to the original file from the Sony camcorder. The quality looks a tad softer than the original, but it's really hard to tell.
Anyone know if this is the solution to the problem described above? And, anyone know what bitrate these Sony HD cams output normally?

I have converted m2ts files to .mov to edit in FCE (4.0.1) When I drag the clips into the timeline they need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 sec. clip. Is this normal? I am using OS 10 . My easy setup is apple intermediate codec, 720p30. Any help

I have converted m2ts files to .mov in streamclip, for editing in fce 4.0.1. When I drag them into the fce timeline the clips need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 second clip. Is this normal? My OS is 10.6.8. My easy setup in fce is apple intermediate codec 720p30. Any advice to avoid the rendereng would be helpful. Ann

To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

Advice on using .m2ts files in FCP 6.0.6

Hi All,
A client just handed me a usb hard drive with a bunch of files transferred from a sony hdr-sr5. Each folder has a 3 files with .m2ts, .modd, and .moff extensions. I'm not sure how they did the transfer, but I'm guessing it wasn't with video editing in mind. I need to use the footage in a normal SD project to go on a DVD. I had originally thought that I could use the Log and Transfer window to bring the footage in, but trying to do that brings up an error dialog - something about incorrect format for the media...
I've seen some other posts about using mpegstreamclip, but everytime I open up the .m2ts files the program crashes right after it puts up the window of the video. I also saw posts about using Toast 9 to convert and I did a quick test and was able to convert one of the files. I selected DV/DVPRO and the export format and did get a usable file, obviously squeezed though.
So I guess my question is - is there a better way than using Toast to get this footage ingested in a format I can use? Or if Toast is the best method what settings should I use? When Toast opens up the .m2ts file it indicates that it is H.264/1440x1080 29.97fps.
I would appreciate any guidance anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Chris

Is there a plug-in available to use .m2t files in AE?

Hi. I'm pretty disheartened about what I have learned about AE CS4 not working well, at all, with my HDV footage. I have spent a lot of money to be able to shoot, edit and add Effects to HDV footage. Everything works well accept the Effects. Can anyone suggest a solution to this depressing problem? Is there something I can download so AE can work with .m2t files? Will Adobe be addressing this major problem in the future? Besides, isn't HD or HDV THE FUTURE? How do Hollywood and the networks use AE "The industry Standard" to add effects to their HD footage? This seems to be a question that nobody seems to want to answer or can. If all hope is lost with this and I do have to convert the .m2t files can someone suggest quality conversion software and what files type I can convert it to that will look half desent? I have tried MP4, AVI and WMV and they all look bad when I bring them into AE. I'm sorry for my tone as I am quite disapointed.
If anyone could shed any light on this problem it would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ryan

OK here are the rest of the specs:
Motherboard: INTEL DP35DPM, Socket 775
Processor: INTEL CORE2 QUAD @ 3GHz, 1333FSB, 12MB CACHE
RAM:        KINGSTON 8GB KIT (2 X 4GB) DDR2 800MHz (maunf. model# KVR800D2N6K2/8G)
VIDEO CARD: PNY NVIDIA QUADRO FX 570 256MB PCI-E (manuf. Model# VCQFX570-PCIEPB)
O/S:         MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS 64BIT
I did update AE to 9.02 and that fixed all of the freezing problems while I was work on a project but I am still having problems rendering out a quicktime movie that will work in Avid.
I finally got a quicktime animation to render out of AE but my computer crashes when I try and import to avid.
Then I have tryed the Avid Codec Selections with Quicktime Movie including Avid 1X1, Avid DNxHD, Avid Meridien Compressed, Avid Meridien Uncompressed, Avid MPEG 2 -50, Avid Packed Codec and none of those even started to render out. I says that it is queued but not started and it just stays like that until I click my mouse again. Then the screen goes white and it says that AE is not responding. I tried to render out a Quicktime Animation again and this same problem occured.
What is the Open GL renderer? I did try to render with the Open GL selected but I had the same results.
What is compression?   Should I render compressed or un-compressed?
I have updated my NVIDIA drivers aswell.
So basically my computer crashes when exporting from AE and when importing to Avid. Do you have any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Ryan

What is an M2TS file?

Is this the right place to ask this?
I recently bought a Panasonic HDC-TM300 video camera. (Yes, it's lovely.) Played with it shooting stuff on the street etc. Imported them to my computer and they played fine using an ordinary viewer. Now my computer doesn't recognise these same files. Shot some more, all imported via an SD card. Can't get the computer to play them nor the ones already imported THAT DID PLAY when I first took them across.
It seems that they are M2TS files.
However. Adobe Premiere Elements 7 does accept them, but plays them haltingly, seeming to jump several frames along as it bumbles through. Very puzzled that files that did run, now don't. They all play perfectly well when reviewed within the camera itself.
I know very little about the ins and outs of video file formats. Nor about AVCHD and other recording modes. I do know a bit about making TV programmes, but only as a BBC Producer (now retired) who always had technical people around to manage the hardware and press the right buttons. (And, it should be said, to make very valuable creative contributions to the programmes we made.)
Any thoughts, anyone?

The files from your camcorder are 1920x1080 resolution compressed using MPEG4 h.264 format. That compression is very efficient at making the files smaller and still reproducing a beautiful picture. The problem is that to decompress it is very processor intensive. Dedicated players can play it back fairly well, but for an editor to decompress it into memory for editing and display it for preview is a bit much to ask of most hardware. That is why at one point your player ran fine, but dropping it into PE yields choppy playback. I am not sure what happend to screw up your player. PE is doing its best and it is really expecting too much of it to play it back well unless you are on a powerhouse workstation.
Development is in progress at some manufacturers to improve the ability for editors to play it back. Some manufacturers are pursuing methods of transcoding it to intermediate formats for edit.
For the time being, take the raw files and transcode it to a high bit rate alternate file such as HDV before editing it.

After Effect error: Rendering error while writing to file

Greetings,
I'm a beginner and am starting to learn most of the basics but every time I try to render a specific type of composition, I get this massage:

I got Windows Ultimate 64-bit and Adobe After Effect CS5.5 64-bit (both on C drive) installed in my laptop.
When I first installed after effect, I rendered a part of the whole composition (AVI, 720p) and it worked but after that when I rendered with
format H.264 it showed this massage. Then I tried to change it back to AVI. and rendered. again the same massage.
My C drive isn't full, I have 22GB SPACE AVAILABLE.
And when I try to save it on D (114GB free) or E drive (33GB free), It shows me the SAME MASSAGE.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance.

Recommend a functional and fast HD encoder for .m2t files hat "copy freely"

Now that HD .m2t files are becoming very common place, what program do you recommend to encode into mp4 format?
I'm especially referring to 2048 and 2112 PID which are .m2t files and wanting to encode into .m4v files for ATV.
Currently Handbrake chokes on these two PIDS and MPEGStreamClip can do 2112 but not 2048. Even so a HDef file using MPEGStreamClip takes about 15 hours on a MacPro and about 70 minutes if the file was not HiDef.
So I'm thinking that there is a major lacking in free or not so expensive programs able to do the job.
Even though MPEGStreamClip can do HiDef the 5.1 channel capability is not there such as provided by HBrake 092.
Please make a suggestion for a free or inexpensive program, exclude programs such as Perian. I just want to keep the application use as simple as possible.

Check out Turbo.264 from ElGato. It's an mpeg-4 USB stick that works very well. It's fast and the software that comes with it supports 5.1 channel audio if your source has it (even with .m2t files). Another nice feature is it works with other Quicktime applications, so I take a .m2t file, edit it in MPEGStreamclip and then can export using Turbo.264 which is much faster than using the Export to H.264 option. It also takes all the processing from your computer and puts it on the external chip.
Be sure to check out the frame size limitations though. It can definitely handle an HD source file, but I'm not sure what it is limited to for output. I believe it is fully capable of all the Apple TV specs though.
Also, there are no options for 2-pass and the quality is not quite as good as Handbrake. I have found exporting through MPEGStreamclip to look cleaner than through the Turbo.264 software, but not by much.
Bottom line: It has made encoding HD m2t files a trivial matter for me.

Premiere Pro CRASH when using .M2TS files

I import the files and put them on the timeline. Everything gets very laggy at this point even though my CPU and RAM aren't sky high. Then it crashes when I'm almost finished rendering. Happens every time with .M2TS files.

I had a similar issue. I'm using Cineform and when I go to export movie, I select 'Cineform M2T' setting. It crashed during the last few seconds of export. However, the 16 min clip seemed to be okay. I successfully exported it back to tape using HD link, which was my intended purpose.

H.264 .m2t high bit rate playback problem ...

I'm still coming up to speed on some of basic video concepts so bare with me.   I have a 9 minute 1280x720 video; 59.94; source came from a Contour+ bike helmet type camera that stores .mov/H.264; separate audio track from MP3 files.   I exported an .m2t file file using the H.264 Blu-ray format/preset.   Besides checking TS multiplexing, the only other items I changed from the default were Maximum Render Quality and VBR, 2 pass.   This file plays fine on my PC with Windows Media Player.
Next I went down the layman's road of thinking higher bit rate = more information per second = higher quality and slid the target bit rate all the way to the right to 35, which in turn adjusted the max bit rate to 35 as well.   VBR 2-pass, max render, etc. still applied.   When I go to play this .m2t file under WMP it chokes and jerks.
I just wanted to ensure this result is expected and not some issue with my hardware or software configuration or other underlying systemic issue. I was expecting this file to play just like the other one above.   Feedback?
I have a new PC that followed the VideoGuys DIY9 spec closely: i7 3930, 32GB, GTX670, WD Caviar Black RAID0, etc.
Thanks

WMP overall is a pretty unreliable media player IMO. The media players I tend to stick with are VLC,Splash Lite and KMplayer. In my experince sometimes with interlaced footage VLC doesn't play it back very well if it's a scene that has a lot of movement regardless of how you tweak it's deinterlace filters/options etc. So in those cases I use one of my other media players.
Basically what I'm saying is that no media player is perfect for every scenario although WMP is certainly my least favorite.

Importing *.m2ts files to Final Cut Expres 4.0

Hi,
I've just bought FCE 4.0 to play around with my new Sony HDR-CX7EK camera. First I installed the windows-software that came with the camera on my windows-ibm laptop. It gave me moff, modd and m2ts-files. I guess the m2ts file is the actual data as this file is the biggest. After installing FCE I copied the files via a usb-stick to my MAC. Ready for a long evening with lots of videoediting I was quite sad that I did not understand the m2ts-format. Could anyone tell me what I can do? I have deleted the files from the camera and now I only have these files that I really really want to work on in FCE!

Hello. I'm am unable to work with my years worth of .m2ts files. These files were shot on my SONY HDR-SR1 camera in AVCHD format.
For the past year, I had a work-flow of plugging in the camera and browsing the file structure and removing the .m2ts files from the camera to external storage on a Windows XP machine.
I played around with SONY VEGAS but thought it was too complicated, and rendered previews terribly on my machine (which was WinXP running in BootCamp, natively), but it can read my .m2ts files.
SO....last week I purchased Final Cut Express 4.0 with excitement because of it's new support for AVCHD editing!
However, it appears that there is a "folder/file" structure that I failed to "preserve" in my old "copy" process seems to prevent Final Cut from "recognizing" my media? What's the deal? Anyone know a "workaround" to fix this? I also tried the StreamClip application as another post suggested, purchased the $20.00 MPEG2 converter for QuickTime and receive the "Cannot find the first video frame" message....
I have wedding footage, my child's first birth footage, windsurfing footage that I really want to start working with...
I'm glad that the SONY purchase I made and it's AVCHD format is catching on, but after all this time, options seem far-too limited.

*** How to export as an .m2t file?

My rental shop would like me to try and export some of my HDV footage so that I can watch it on their recorder. It apparently allows you to watch HDV footage that is burned on a regular DVD and it's HDV quality.
The problem is, how do I create an .m2t file from Final Cut Pro?
Thanks in advance.

I have an AVeL Link Player (JVC ProHD) SRDVD-100 that I bought to see if I could get my HD videos to an HD display for le$$ than producing HD-DVD or BD discs and after a lot of trials and errors I found a very fast an easy way to play HD in it using CD, DVD, USB or its network connection.
To accomplish, you need FCP or FCE to export your movie and then encode it with Compressor 2. The trick is that Compressor 2 does not have a preset for high definition (HD) .m2t files. You will have to create it and here is how...
- Compressor has the correct setting (except audio muxing and file extension) in its "HD DVD: HD-MPEG2 30 minutes" settings folder.
- Since you cannot duplicate it to modify it (at least it is grayed out from my side), create a new setting identical to it.
- Change two things: in the 'Encoder' options, under the 'Extras' tab, have ONLY the "Multiplexed MPEG-2 transport" selected. Deselect the first two.
- Make sure the extension is set to ".m2t"
- Save it. Use it.
- This is for HD! You might need to change a few things for SD or start differently.
Now, I can export my HD movies to a QT wrapper a have the fast Compressor 2 convert it to .m2t. I copy it to a CD, DVD, or thumb-drive and presto. It plays as HD. Since my footage has all been 720 24p, I have not test it at other resolutions and BTW, I don't even record with HDV. I use a Panasonic with DVCPRO HD.
It took me a lot to find a fast workflow and I really hope this can help you. For this device I even tried DviX and it works BUT, even at HD, DivX cannot compare to .m2t or H.264. Never. Plus it takes for ever to convert to DivX. Forever!

Can I create m2ts file to put back to camera?

I have Sony HD SR11E and no problems manage m2ts files inside CS4.
I'd like to put edited stuff back into camera, very useful for trainings, presentations and so on, also portable HD source.
Some sources say AVCHD is MPEG-4, AME offers MPEG4 but this particular is definitely not AVCHD.
Is there any format CS4 can create which is readable by Sony Picture Motion Browser?

There are lot of people looking solutions for that.
One response(http://www.sonyhdvinfo.com/showthread.php?t=10888) was:
The recently released Vegas Pro 8 does accomodate rendering back into .m2t & .m2ts formats. I just did a test video, exported it back into my HDR-SR1 and played it on my LCD TV via HDMI with the original AVCHD picture quality.-end quota
:) thanks for warning, oyrtek :P And punch of people also complaining about Nero 8 and up - (horrible, ugly-these are only some words they use , lol.Propably they looking only DVD writing software inside it, but as i understand, Nero is much more now) Downloading trial, also checking what Vegas does.
If somebody interested results I post success-unsucess here. It will take propably 4 days at least.

I rendered an h.264 m2ts file at 17M bitrate, why Encore says bitrate is too high?
