M2p files to Mpeg 2

Richtiger · 12-15-2008, 10:46 PM

I'm doing 15 second ads for the local cimema. They require the files to be Mpeg 2 so they can load on their computer and play through their system.

Edius produces M2p files which don't play on any computer without the appropriate codec.

How can I convert M2p to Mpeg 2 that is recognised by windows media player in any computer?

I'm currently using Edius 3.62

did you try procoder?

Keep in mind that standard installations of Windows will not decode MPEG-2 data out-of-the-box, due to licensing. A shared decoder from any third-party app will add decoding to WMP.

If you have some DVD playback software, or a copy of VideoLAN (www.videolan.org), try the M2P in that and see if you get a picture...
