Does Da Vinci Like M2T Videos?

Hi Terence !
Pillarbox/Letterboxis the way to go if you got 1920×1080 footage !
Maybe you got 1440×1080 ?
best,

I must have 1440 . I have no info in the camera manual and so far cannot find info on the web. It is an early Sony from 2005 so the technology was inferior at that time. I must ask your help with the batch processor that I downloaded from Cow. It has two programmes 64 and 86 I don’t know whether 64 refers to windows10 64 bit ( which I have) and the other refers to the standard Windows s86 format. The other setting was to MTS or MOv
I assumed that Mts was correct. Howeverwhen I tried to open a video win M2T it wasn’t even recognised in the folder
I must be doing something stupid but exactly what it is escapes me -
Oh I have just found other parameter though they always point to apple files. The matrixes they refer to are beyond my skill Can you give me a pointer towards a discussion of them so I can be more intelligent about using them
Sorry about this -
I tried loading a file of m2t clips into the programme and then searched for the avid DnxHD 10 bit output. However the programme complained .mts files found Thus my problem is how to I get it to read m2t files. or videos
I am slowly getting there but maybe there is another set of parameters I need to juggle -
In Windows 10 – right-click your mouse on one of your recordings – and choose Properties – Details – look for your recordings are 1440×1080!
If your recordings are 1440×1080, you cannot use 5DtoRGBbatchGUI! The program is only for full HD 1920×1080!

Hi Ole Thanks for taking the time to help me. That explains my problem. However the Audio Spot is working very well I have been able to paste 60 short clips onto it and it worked perfectly, and I have just tested a 6 gigabyte short video which it also handled without a problem. As it also de interlaces it is very helpful. I did as you said and my video is 1440 X 1080 which explains my problem with the other program.
Thanks so much for your kindness and great help. I would have been in a mess without your help.

I apologise for more questions. The file conversion is going at a great rate. The programme is superb and very stable. However I would like your advice on back up.. I will end up having both m2t and DnxHD copies of every clip. on my system. Would you keep both or would it be reasonable to delete the m2t files. I am using a RAID system so I have one back up and I plan to have a remote set of files (not yet set up) in addition. I have a QNAP network storage system taking care of the files and hope that this together with the remote back up will give long term security.
Thanks

Hi Terence
Nice that it goes forward! It is very difficult to advise on what to save and what to delete! It also depends on how much space you have – I usually save both and eventually I delete the one version!
best,

Hi Ole Thanks I feel the same way. I just have 3 Terabytes of my m2t files and was thinking about storing them on a separate USB drive just in case. I am glad you are equally cautious. I am also keeping the original tapes and camera . They will probably be dug up10,000 years from now from some landfill. with the 3 Tb USB drive
