Ulead will not accept m2v file extension.

[videocheez]

I have tried Ulead movie factory to author some dvd's and when I try to load an m2v file it gives an error saying that it doesn't like the file type. I change the file extension to .mpv and get an error saying that no audio or video is present. Do I have to mux audio and video before adding movie to Ulead MF.

Thanks in advance

I had something a bit similar with Movie Factory - it took the .m2v files ok and played them fine, but there was no sound; the related .mpa file was there and played ok in Media Player etc. Importing a .mpa file via Replace Audio gave an error 'No Audio Data' - changing the export from Premiere to mux to a .mpg worked fine.
So, muxed file is probably the best way to go, and as far as I know, no drawback to this unless you need to use multiple soundtracks (languages) for the same video.

Had the same problem. Went back to Spruce up.

Ulead Movie Factory #1 will only accept .mpg files for DVD authoring. I think #2 will acept the seperate audio and video files, change audio to .mpa first just like in SpruceUp. ................... harrymj3

I was at their site. Hmm... don't see were they have #1 & #2. I see the regular version and the new AC-3. Is that what you mean?
