Help! CODEC or Authoring Software?

[Queequeg]

Help,
I use VOBEdit to demux a single m2v file with the associated AC-3 audio file. When using Vegas 4.0 it reports unsupported/illegal video stream for the m2v file. Is there a codec that Vegas needs or is there a way to create the two streams so that they are legal. Also, are there any other authoring software packages that would take the above streams natively. I would also accept a solution that reformats the m2v stream to m2p with no recompression.
Thanks,
Queequeg

Hello and welcome to the board.

vobedit is demuxing perfectly legal streams, is just that Vegas can't import a m2v video natively. One way around is to frameserve the video to Vegas. See this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47483&highlight=vegas) on how to do it.

Another is to use an app that edits m2v streams without reencoding them, such as M2-Edit Pro.

Programs that will accept your video is authoring ones such as Maestro, Scenarist, ifoedit, dvdlab etc.

oddyseus,
Thanks man, I had a senior moment all day today. I fogot about frameserving. I used to do it with Tmpgenc before Vegas and Procoder. The link saved me time of tinkering with virtualdub though. AC-3 and M2V fit just fine now.
Thanks again!
