How can I convert an "m2v" file to vcd compliant mpg?

[marianovalverde]

I am downloading videos and some of them are in this format, which I don't know.
Also, some .mpg won't open with TMPGEnc... The strange thing is that they are short files (a 4 minutes mpg is only 10 megas). So which format can these files be? How can I encode them into VCD compliant mpg?
Please help!
Thanks so much

M2V is video only, add an audio stream.

WMV is Windows Media Video (ASF). Use TMPGEnc

Shabubu: I think you are wrong. I have many .m2v files that are music videos that have audio as well, so I don't think that works, but I could have got wired stuff so I.m not sure

If an m2v (stands for mpeg 2 video) has audio in it too then someone named it wrong, just change the extension to mpg and you have a fully working file. The extension doesn't really matter, it's just convention. That's why TMPGEnc makes m2v and mp2 files when you demultiplex, it's just so you can tell the difference between audio and video streams.
