I can’t figue out how to render 1080p MPEG-2 with PCM audio.

[John Rofrano]

Render using the Sony MXF encoder. That will give you MPEG2 video with PCM audio in an MXF container.

This could work, but the bitrate can only be set VBR and not less than 30Mbps, but I need 15Mbps CBR.

[Wayne Waag]

The easiest way is to first render your video stream using the Blu-ray 1920×1080-60i template. Customize the template so that you have a CBR of 15 Mbps. Then render your audio using the wav 48Khz, 16 bit stereo, PCM template. You will then have to mux these together. You can use the freeware Tsmuxer which will produce a transport stream or something like TMPGEnc’s MPEG smart renderer which will produce a program stream. In both cases, the audio will be PCM. I’m pretty sure other freeware tools are available to do the muxing.

I often use Sorenson Squeeze and I believe it has the ability to do this.. I make similar mpeg 2 video’s using it myself…

Another to try is Handbreak, I believe that one’s free and it might work well for you…

The problem with using these tools is that you’d still have to render it in Vegas first, but in a higher quality video and let the other tool bring it down to what you want the final file to be…

Mahalo!

Allright, so I used tsmuxer, and the only option to convert is to .m2ts file, which can not be supported anywhere by any player, and compatibility is a thing for me to also achive. I forgot to mention that I was told that I should do .mpg file format for that, as it can be opened by almost any player without any struggle. I got a sample .mpg file, here’s a mediainfo of that:

[Marcin Kostrzewski] ” I forgot to mention that I was told that I should do .mpg file format for that, as it can be opened by almost any player without any struggle.”

That was going to be my next question… why do you need this odd format? I assumed you were authoring a DVD or submitting for broadcast. MPEG2 files usually have MPEG2 audio not PCM. PCM is used for making DVD’s and if you look at the output of your file, the audio uses a muxing mode of “DVD-Video”.

What is the purpose of this video? Whoever told you that MPEG2 w/PCM audio @ 15Mbps was a good way to deliver HD was misinformed. That was true years ago for SD video. MPEG4 AVC/H.264 @ 15Mbps will yield much higher quality and is the most common delivery format for HD video for PC or Internet use. If you wanted to preserve the quality of HD video using MPEG2 I would use at least 25 Mbps. But if I was HD delivering video for PC or Internet consumption I would use MPEG4.

Agree with John 100%. The request for mpeg video with pcm audio doesn’t make any sense for widespread distribution. While it can be done in Tsmuxer, the resulting files (either ts or m2ts) will not play in Windows Media Player–it will play only video. This should give you a clue that it is not considered a legitimate format. However, TMPGEnc’s MPEG Smart Renderer 4 will do this and the mediainfo from a file is virtually identical to your sample and it will play in Windows Mediai Player. If this is a “one off” project, you could always download a trial which I believe lasts 15 days.

hi Wayne Waag.

did you find the way how to render mpeg ps in vegas pro not mpeg ts.

because i also fimd difficulty to delievr mpeg.ts file very few devices support this format and mpeg .ps supported many devices.

Regards
harry

[harry singh] “i also fimd difficulty to delievr mpeg.ts file very few devices support this format and mpeg .ps supported many devices.”

That’s because TS stands for Transport Stream and is an acquisition format (i.e., for recording). PS stands for Program Stream and is a delivery format. So it’s no surprise that devices that don’t record can’t handle transport streams because they are meant for playback and are expecting program streams.

hi john
first thanxto you for reply ,
as you said ” That’s because TS stands for Transport Stream and is an acquisition format (i.e., for recording). PS stands for Program Stream and is a delivery format. So it’s no surprise that devices that don’t record can’t handle transport streams because they are meant for playback and are expecting program streams.”

its ok for not playback on other devices .but can you please guide how to render 1920x1080p 25 frames with 80mbs render in mpeg .ps in vegas pro ?

because there is no any info aobut on internet or sony official website

is there any way to render if not thn i need to transcode and which app is better for mpeg .ps transcoder.

Regards
