mp2 ?

[nelson133]

I have some video files in mp2 format, but tmpge won't recognize them. Is there a plug in or conversion tool to overcome this? Thanks.

nelson133,

as far as I know files with an .mp2 extension are normailly audio files (as in MPEG-1 layer 2).

If you de-mux a VCD mpg with TMPGEnc, you normally get an MPEG-1 video stream (.m1v I think) and a MPEG-1 layer 2 audio stream (.mp2)

mp2 is what tooLame produces.

Does your file play (with audio and video) in a player?

Is it just TMPGEnc that's not recognising it as an input?

Have you tried just renaming the file with a .mpg extension?

Try using MPEG Properties to see what it says about the streams contained in the file.

cheers,

P.S. If you mean you have MPEG-2 video files (SVCD/DVD), then yes there is a plugin for TMPGEnc which you need for it to read MPEG-2 streams.

It's (very originally) called the TMPGEnc MPEG2 Plugin

Thanks alot for your response. The files will play as video files in the Windows media player and are mp2 files. I finally licked the problem by going into Virtualdub and got the files to show up by using the show all files category. I then converted the audio to wave and the video to avi. The i used TEMPGe to recombine the two and got a usable mpg1 file. it takes a while to go through all the steps, but I had to figure it out.
