Mpeg2 (m2t) files

[knepper823]

I have a JVC HD Camcorder that generates Mpeg 2 files in the form of *.m2t. I have tried the plugin that uses *.d2t files, but that doesn't seem to work.

Is there an AVISynth plugin (or something similar) that can make this appear as an AVI file?

Thanks :-)

I have no direct experience with those files, but here is what I would do first. Plus you need to be much more specific about what you want to do with this file, program you want to open it with, destination format desired, etc.,etc. You say you want it as an AVI? OK, with or without sound? You can do that with link2, makeavi, or vfapi assuming you get it into a format that avisynth can read. You can also frameserve from TMPG or VDubMod (I think).

1> See if dvd2avi will open and preview the mpeg. If so, create a project file (yourmovie.D2V). Plenty of info around here on doing that.

2> use a avs script script like:

mpeg2source("yourmovie.d2v")

I can flesh that out more when you provide more details. I need info on what you are doing in order to suggest the best way to handle the sound. BTW, did you try just renaming it to movie.mpg?

m2t sounds like mpeg2-transport stream.
If you want to view it you need windvd.
mpeg2dec3 should be able to open it, but you will need dvd2avit3.

You should read the HDTV/DVB forum, there are sticky faqs that you will find usefule.
