Exporting mpeg 2 from FCP
I have a client who needs me to export an mpeg2 file from FCP using compressor. When I do this, I get an m2v extension, instead of mpg extension. They edit on Adobe Premiere, and cannot open my file with this extension. They said that there should be a way to make it work witih MAC – exporting from compressor with mpg extension.
I do not have a lot of experience doing this, so if someone could explain all steps for me to accomplish this, I would appreicate it!!!! Also, in Compressor there are many options to choose from – ALL, AUDIO, and MPEG 2. I need the video and audio to be together. Which setting is best?
Thank you again.

In compressor, choose the setting you’re doing now, and in the inspector tab, select the options to turn it into a “transport stream”.

Jerry,
Do I don’t see the inspector tab in my compressor. Is this option available in compressor or would I need 2 or 3?
Thanks. -
I am trying to export mpg2 files to upload to a ftp – for broadcast purposes. I need the extension to read mpg, which I find I can do, just by changing the extension from m2v to mpg.
In compressor I choose mpeg 2 high quality encode – then I chose ALL.
At this point, the audio and video are seperate files. How do I put them together?
Is there an option that would automatically do this in compressor? -
Jerry already told you how to do it. Go into the Inspector tab and select to create a Transport stream, which is an MPEG file with interleaved audio.

I do not think my version of Compressor has this setting. I am using an older version. Do I need to be using compressor 2 or 3?

Its easier in Compressor 3, because there is a preset for it, but you can also do it in Compressor 2.
In the Extras tab of the Inspector, select Multiplexed MPEG1 layer 2 audio

Failing setting the option in compressor – you can always use something like MPEG streamclip to multiplex the files.

I have the same problem as Tina.
I checked the “multiplex audio/transportstream” option in the extras tap in Compressor2, but I still get a .m2t file, not a mpg.
Do I have to “route in” the audio in an other option tap…?
Thanks for your help guys! -
Ok,
I realised that I now get a .m2t file (transportstream WITH AUDIO) and not a .m2v.
I can convert that into an .mpeg with MpegStreamclip – no problemo.
But why that extra step?
Is FCP really incapable of outputting a mpg file?
