streaming m2t files workflow?
I’m working on a job where the final deliverable will be an m2t file as in a Mpeg-2 streaming file.
Does anyone have workflow suggestions?
It’s a 1920 x 1080HD 2 min. file rendered out of after effects. Would a full animation codec quicktime output then compress in an app like Compressor for the m2t file be the best solution?
Also what would be the best codec for Audio?
Thanks in advance.

What program are you using to make the m2t file? Most NLE’s will export to m2t. After effects will too I believe, under the blueray preset, then select transport stream. The audio is included in an m2t file. m2t files are 1440 x 1080 w/pixels 1.333 Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response.
I’m working in After effects and tried using the Blu-ray setting as suggested . I haven’t gone the AE/compressor route would like to export from AE if possible. In Ae I keep getting a render error that won’t let the file render. The error says the Audio codec is incompatible and needs to be changed in the output module. The only thing that can be changed in the module for audio is the sample rate. I’ve tried both 44.1 and standard 48k and still the error. Any other suggestions?

thanks all for the help. I’ve figured it out on my own using different settings. the audio is Aiff.
Basically you start with an Mpeg 2 format then adjust stream settings, a crucial one is the bitrate set to CBR around 15Mbps, I was using VBR before that’s why I was getting incompatibility. Then set audio to Mpeg 1 layer 2 audio and all’s well. I’m still not sold on this compression scheme as in any streaming codec you will have artifacts but it works pretty well.
Thanks again
