A strange problem with M2T files
I have a problem which I do not seem to understand or resolve.
I captured video on set using Adobe OnLocation (Mac). This software captured the files in m2t format.
I then brought the files over to my iMac and tried to import it into premiere where I got an error saying the file format is not supported.This is strange since I have worked with m2t files on this mac before. I recently upgraded to Lion so I thought that might be the source of the problem.
But when I brought the files over to my macbook which is also running Lion I was able to bring the files into premiere with no problem what so ever.
Does anybody have a clue how to resolve this very annoying problem without me having to convert the files?

I did that, restarted my computer and I still get that same error message.
Any other ideas? 🙂 -
My older version of Premiere Pro 1.5.1 will generate a m2t file when you export to tape, however, an m2t file reintroduced into PP will not be recognised. But, an m2t clip can be imported into Premiere Elements 4 and accepted, then it can be Exported to Movie as an Microsoft avi , uncompressed and opened up in PP, this is on a PC.

I am going to guess you updated Lion with a preinstalled version of PPro.
You might need to re-run the install process to get all codecs working again. Lion’s quicktime might have dislodged something in the MPEG importer.
