  • Convert M2t files to mpg?

    Posted by Jerry Neal on July 21, 2007 at 4:06 am

    I need to provide a client with raw footage. He doesn’t own a mini DV camera, so I need to find a way to save the footage onto a hard drive to give to him. He is using Power Director 5 (software that came with his JVC Gz-HD7). I have tried to open M2t files in Power Director, but to no avail. However, it will open .mpg files with no problem. Is there a way that I can convert all of the M2t files into .mpg so I can just give him these clips on a hard drive?

    That particular camcorder uses a proprietary codec. It’s packaged in an m2t stream, but that simply means “MPEG Transport Stream”
    You can convert HDV m2t into any format you wish, you need to find what PowerDirector will accept. After spending a little time on the Cyberlink website, it appears that you can easily output an AVC file, or a BD compliant file (use BluPrint template) and it should accept the file. Their website however, claims it will open HDV anyway. I’m looking at the PowerDirector 6 software pages, no experience with it at all.
