Importing an HD 1080 80mbps m2v file

I would like to view a rather large (46 gb) m2v file that was made from our HD Master tape shot on the Sony Cinealta 900.
It's specs are as follows as I understand it:
HD 1920 x 1080 psf 16 X 9 23.98 80 mbps
The file was encoded for digital cinema projection and I want to make sure the video is ok and line up an audio file to make sure it is in sync. At this point I don't need to edit it but in the future that might be nice.
I can't get it into FCP 4.5 (wrong file format?) DVD SP 4 (bit rate too high?) or convert it in MPEG streamclip (once I get it in, which takes forever, I can't view it and I don't know what codec to convert it to).
Is this file just too large for my little old G4 1.4 Ghz to handle or is there a way I can simply play back this file with some audio lined up underneath it to check for sync before we go to project it.
Thanks for your help,
AJC

Just an update for all concerned.
It seems I lost my Quicktime mpeg component when I upgraded to QT7. When I reinstalled that I was able to view the HD m2 file in both Quicktime and FCP 4.5. However, only the first seven mintues of an 80 minute movie.
When I import it into MPeg Streamline the entire file shows up and I am able to view it, but when I try to export it as a Quicktime the application quits, without warning.
Does anyone know how I can convert this file and get it into FCP?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

  • Import the AVI or the M2V file?

    It's a six-minute piece of video from a newscast given to me as an AVI file and as a M2V MPEG2 file which needs to be imported for a simple DV NTSC timeline 720x480.
    What's the best method:
    1) Media Manager the AVI?
    2) Media Manager the M2V?
    3) Streamclip either into DV for FCP?
    4) Streamclip the M2V into QT for FCP?
    5) Something else?
    This is an unarchived video clip from a television station using Parkervision. Anyone familiar with FCP-friendly export formats from Parkervisison?

    'Parkervision'...This is a hold-over from linear editing facilities.
    This was the frame of video that was viewed in your 'CRT monitor' when you stopped 'videotape' from 'rolling'.
    Hiram Beauregard Parker determined it to be the ideal place to 'set' an 'insert' or 'assemble' edit point...(The forementioned 'insert' edit could only be accomplished with a pre-blacked section of videotape)
    Thus, in the non-linear world, we now have the term "Park your playhead on the frame of video you wish to view."
    This frame of video will now show up in a highly disguised manner on a computer screen, unless you are old-school and continue to use an out-dated CRT monitor.
    EDIT - Do not be alarmed...it has absolutely nothing to do with Tarpon, Flip-flops or Maximum Power...

  • Importing large .m2v files problem

    I am currently using cs3 version of encore and have come accross a problem when trying to import a large (3.1gb)m2v file that was created in PPcs3.
    When I try to import, encore starts to try to import but them suddenly closes down completely. I can import smaller m2v files with out a problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    my system is Inte duo 2 quad processor QX6800, 4gb ram, GEforce 8800GTX graphics card and I'm using XP Pro operating system
    Ian

    I had similar problems with CS3. This is my research and solution (so far...)
    When outputting MPG files for HD, if you dont do multiplexing in Premiere, it generates a M2V file and a WAV file. Encore basically crashed on every import of the m2v, (irrespective of importing as timeline or as asset) if it was larger than some value (experimentaly around 8GB).
    Someone suggested that it had to do with the XMPSES files. So put the m2v and wav file in a separate directory and import from there (or delete the XMP and XMPSES file). I tried this and it does work, but the chapterpoint information is lost, so in the end I tried to avoid creating >7GB files for import in ENCCS3. However, later with another project, Encore did not even accept 4GB files.
    In the end I found the solution to be to have Premiere generate a transport stream (i.e. a multiplexed file m2t in stead of two separate files for audio and video (wav and m2v)). Get a license for the AC3 encoder, switch on multiplexing and Encore happily imports the resulting files without any problem (until now)
    Hope this helps

  • DVDSP 3 Crashes importing m2v files

    Hi, I´ve been trying to finish a project on DVDSP3 for 5 days now. Always the same problem. I´ve encoded a FCP rendered sequence to m2v file using compressor. The process was sucessful!. The thing is when I try to import the file into DVDSP using Palette crashes automatically. I started trying other ways of importing and the same thing over and over again. I´ve tried to open the file on Quicktime and works perfectly, the preview works fine on finder. Everything seems to be in order. But when dragging the file into the timeline the program crashes. Sometimes also crashes when I open the program. I´ve repaired the disk permissions, downloaded the proapp update and installed it again.... nothing. Tried also re-installing the DVDSP and nothing. I tried importing the m2v file as an asset and the file appears on the list but when dragging it to the timeline, guess what?: crashes again. Finally I took the FCP project and compressed it again, thought maybe the other file was corrupted. Everything was fine until I tried dragging the file to the timeline when DVDSP crashed again... sorry but i´m f@*ing tired of this. CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!...
    Like i said before it´s been my 5th day in a row and nothing seems to work... Any help will be great!
    Sorry for the long text but I tried to explain my process in detail so proper help can be found...
    Thanks in advance...
    PS: have noticed that every topic with this kind of problem never got an answer...
    very dissapointed with DVDSP... will not recommend to no-one...

    Hi Sebakd, welcome to the discussions.
    Download and install the proapplication support file from Apple...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport31macosx104.html
    If that doesn't fix it, come back and let us know - there will be a simple reason for the issue.
    In 9/10 cases the proapp support file fixes the problem, and in the vast majority of the posts citing this issue that fix is recommended in the replies for all to see.

  • DVDSP 3 Not Importing m2v file, Unexpectedley Quits

    I'm experiencing a very consistent quit, and I'm looking for a work around.
    In trying to import an asset, I've created a reference movie file, and in the same folder placed the two compressed pieces that I'm trying to import (.aiff and .m2v). I can import the audio, but not the video. I can't even select it to trash it.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Hal,
    Thanks for responding.
    I downloaded and installed the latest proapp support file, as you suggested, and I tried opeing the file in QT (Pro). What's really curious to me is the behavior of the .m2v file. The only way I can trash it is by selecting it either with a set of files in the same folder, or by trashing the whole folder. Just selecting it by itself in the Finder causes the Finder window to go away. Selecting the file in DVDSP 3 causes an immediate quit. Same thing with trying to open it in QT.
    My workflow has been FCP (4.5) sequence Export, QT movie (reference) > Compressor (60 min High Quality Encode) > DVDSP 3 Import... As I've said, I can import audio, no problem (.aiff). Bringing in the .m2v has been impossible, so far. Each time I select the file, the application (DVDSP 3) quits.

  • Import .m2v file into Compressor.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to Import a .m2v file into Compressor?
    If so, How?

    Yes.
    Just a reminder that the m2v is an elementary stream – video only. If you need it muxed with audio, it can be done in DVD SP or in MPEG Streamclip.

  • Importing m2v-file: Error loading transcode preset

    Dear all,
    Just have Encore 1.51 a few weeks now (eBay). But sofar I couldn't get a project together. Only problems when importing (good) m2v files. Also on the forum almost no solutions.
    Once again I have an Error loading transcode preset. I just made a DVD from a video on my DVD recorder, demuxed it on my computer, but can't import it :((
    I also have posted 2 previous topics concerning my other problems with Encore, but sofar nobody has an answer. I just want to have working software.
    Can anyone really help. Otherwise it's wiser to sell this software.
    Han Bouman

    >Resolution: 704*576
    Although Encore will accept 704x576 it will always re-transcode it to 720x576. That shouldn't be the reason for the "abnormal condition" error however.
    Maybe Neil's suggestion of a DVD-Video illegal GOP structure applies.
    You could do some more testing with
    MPEG Validator
    . Are any of the GOPs larger than 15 frames? Does MPEG Validator report anything it doesn't like?

  • Encore locks system during import of m2v files

    I have exported numerous m2v files from Adobe Premiere, and can not import them into Encore without a full system lock.  I am using PCs with Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a Desktop with 8GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Laptop with 4GB RAM.  I've had nothing but problems with CS4 since I cleanly installed my Desktop and purchased my Laptop.  This may not be an issue if I could export Microsoft Uncompressed or DV compressed AVI files to transcode, but Adobe Premiere will not export DV compressed with video, only audio, and will not export uncompressed at all!  On the desktop, I can export Matrox RTX2 DV compressed files, but it takes forever.  I have a system with Vista Pro 64bit at work, and none of these problems are there.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole suite (plus removed all preferences files and went in to the user profile and manually removed any traces) to no avail.  As I am experiencing this same issue across two totally different systems, is it a known bug with Windows 7 64bit?  Is there any way to fix the issue?

  • Importing a m2v file, or a dvd into final cut

    What the best (less compression on video only) way to import a movie of a dvd in final cut pro 5.0.4 and 5.1 . Will fcp import a m2v file. If any other software in involved, let me know. What the settings in the timeline set? Would it matter if the dvd was widescreen or 4:3 in the setting for sequences? Thankyou for reading this and any responces will be helpful.. E.

    I am using the mpeg streamclip. for a 2 hour movie, and the export of hdv 60i, its taking over three hours and its at 60 percent. is that normal for the export setting? Also, i tried to rip the dvd staraight into the mpeg streamclip, but was having trouble. I had allready rip it in the m2v file and imported that into mpeg streamclip and it works. Is there a way i can skip that step and go directly in mpeg streamclip.

  • DVD SP 4 crashes importing M2V files

    I've recently upraded to Tiger and Final Cut Studio from FCP HD and DVD SP3. Everything seemed to be working more or less fine before the upgrade. Once I updated the whole system, including the latest internet updates, I opened my DVD SP3 project and converted it to a DVDSP4 project. At this point, DVD SP4 started working funny, like crashing everytime I tried to open its preferences window, and I had to force quit. I reinstalled the application, but nothing changes. Now, I can't access any assets in the assets folders. They're invisible, and when I open the folders they are in the app crashes. It crashes also when I try to reimport any of the old m2v files created by the former version of compressor and used under DVDSP3. What should I do at this point? I need to continue working on this project and I've already created tons of subtitles for this track and need to update it with new m2v media, which the program won't import or see... Anyone know what I should be doing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fernanda

    I took both of your suggestions.
    As it turns out, my M2V files did have messed up "open with preferences," and I followed the instructions to reassign quicktime as the default app for all M2V files, but this repair described in the thread you pointed did not fix the DVDSP crash problem. It still crashes whenever I try to import or view M2V files in the program... I'm still unable to edit my DVDSP project!
    Any more thoughts?
    By the way, are the preferences just one com.apple files in the user's prefs' folder? If so, I have already trashed it as well...

  • Importing m2v files into 09

    I created a movie in FCP7---I exported it to compressor. It then created an m2v file.
    I now want to import that m2v into iMovie09 but it will not appear.
    When I click on the folder iMovie hangs up and crashes. Nothing appears in the folder and i know it is there.
    Any ideas?

  • Import .m2v files - Question for experts - this is an interesting one

    I have an internal and external harddrive.
    I have copied an .m2v file from my external harddrive to my internal harddrive, then i switch off the external drive.
    I load the .m2v file in Encore and as many others have experienced the slidebar goes to 99 % then returns to 90 % and basically loops the whole time.
    HOWEVER ... when I switch my external harddisk on suddenly it loads the .m2v file, even though i specified to load the file from my internal harddrive. As soon as i turn off the external drive all the previe pics are gone, and i am left with a black video (background with language text). It's to do with linking, but I have not solved the problem.

    The external HDD was switch off at the time.
    Encore is part of the Production Bundle, which is a legitimate copy/original.
    Something funny besides the issue of the external harddrive.
    I have just created a simple file via PP2 Adobe Media Encoder (DVD compliant) => only a short avi film into the timeline of PP2 and added a title, thats it. The external HD was switched off. The created file sits in the internal drive. I cannot load it in Encore and it hangs during loading, but as soon as I start the external harddrive it loads, this is strange. help help ..

  • 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.

  • DVD Movie is "lighter" than the M2v File - ?????

    Hello Board,
    I need help . . . . again!
    I used the NTSC monitor to color and export the my short film and it looked FINE. Many of the scenes were dimmed (darkened Intentionally) intentionally to create and omnious effect.
    I had to take the monitor back but everything seemed fine. I exported the project via Compressor - Best - 90 minute setting.
    I watched the M2V on the computer and it looked great, so I imported the M2V into DVD pro and created a very basic DVD.
    I burned the DVD pro project to DVD using Toast Titanium 6.
    Now here's the twist. When I watched the DVD on TV, the images were significally ligter than in the M2V file and the DVD SP viewer.
    I said ok, let me put the DVD into the computer and see if it looks different on the computer LCD and it did not, it was still lighter.
    I then did a side by side comparison - with the M2V screen up on the left and the Mac DVD player screen up on the right. I went to the same frame in both and behold, the DVD version is noticable ligher. Things that are concealed by Shadow in the M2V can be seen in the DVD version.
    Is it possible that something in the burn process did this. Or could it be that I saved the file a certain way in DVD SP and that did it?
    I don't think it's an issue with Compressor, because why didn;t the M2V file look light on the computer.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lin

    It's probably not a problem with Toast or DVD SP. It's the same old display and TV calibration issue that many complain about. Try this with Apple's DVD Player -- switch to an NTSC display profile and see what the DVD looks like then. However, the latter is not a "fix," just an example of how display gamma and calibration can affect results.
    I'd suggest that Lin review the following tutorials on color and brightness adjustments:
