M2V file???

[rrrrob]

Folks:

When I demux a DVD, I get an .ac3 audi file and a .m2v file. The file name in the .m2v file says it's mpeg-2.

However, I can't seem to utilize this file type in any programs I use to edit/manipulate video...can anyone tell me of reasonably priced editing software that will allow import of a .M2V file?

thanks!

That is your MPEG 2 video (only) file. Manipulate it at your risk (you will also need to manipolate the audio and subbie). Better to cut the VOB intact with VobBlanker

Most of the video editing and compression that I have seen is done with VOBS and D2V video as input and M2V video as output already edited for the options you want and compressed down to 4.7gb.

Some typical examples:

DGI Index input VOBS and output D2V video or M2V video
HC019 encoder input D2V video and output M2V video
TMPGEnc Plus input D2V video and output M2V video



Some typical programs that will take the VOBS, D2V video file and output a M2V video file already edited for options and compression you want are DVD Shrink, DVD Rebuilder, TMPGEnc Plus

If you have just the streams video, audio, subtitles, chapters you can author them with programs like muxman, ifoedit and then burn to a DVD.
