Brain Freeze-MPEG2 export
I am suffering from a serious case of brainfreeze on this…. haven’t had to do this procedure in some time, but I don’t remember it being this difficult. Here goes:
I need to export a FCP sequence as an MPEG2 multiplexed file for use in a museum interactive kiosk. When I did this last (early this past year), it was a simple case of Exporting Using Quicktime Conversion, using the MPEG2 setting options and exporting. I would then use MPEG Streamclip, import both the audio and video files, and convert to MPEG2 with MP2 Audio.
Now I don’t have the MPEG2 setting option in FCP (currently using FCP 5.1.4) and its driving me batty trying to figure out what I need to do. I know that the solution is probably very simple, I am just not seeing it.
Thanks for you help.

I think you want an MPEG2 transport stream.
In FCP, File/Export/Using Compressor
In Compressor, under Settings/New Default Settings/choose MPEG-2.
In the Inspector window, choose the “Extras” tab and check the box “Multiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio”.
Note the “Extension” change to .m2t from .m2v. -
Thanks. It took me awhile to remember what a great source of knowledge this forum is. After posting, I did a search to see other posts of the same subject and found answers to my problem. I really appreciate the rapid response and I have already used what I found here to solve my temporary brain-freeze.
Again, thanks to all the COWers. It’s great having this forum at our fingertips.
