Need Help! Trying to convert to M2t video with AC3 audio

[GMAdvertising]

Hello,
I'm working with Telvue Adcaster , and it only accepts a certain format of:
M2t Video and AC3 audio.
I absolutely cannot find any video converters or render settings on Sony Vegas that will render this format!!
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks !

M2TS is a container format, not a video content format. Usual video content formats in MPEG-2 Transport Streams are MPEG-2 Video or MPEG-4 AVC.

To create AC3 (Dolby Digital), you may have to buy an additional plugin. Sony Vegas is a commercial software, useful special features may cost more than the basic application alone. But there is also free software available, usually based on ffmpeg.

This format is working: but i cannot figure out how to render anything like this again.
I have bought Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate, but it does not have the correct format.

I don't know which program you are using to report details of this file. But it doesn't differ between container and content. "MPEG-TS" is definitely not a "video format". One of the most reliable media file analyzers is MediaInfo - and one easy way to use it is the third tab in the Properties dialog in MPC-HC. If you want to install the GUI version of MediaInfo as application, be careful to avoid unnecessary adware during the installation.

Don't use any arbitrary converter with the most impressive name just because the name sounds impressive. Often they are merely a disappointment. First ask people with experience, to avoid disappointments. I do not even know "Wondershare".

i am indeed using MediaInfo, but i was looking at the 'General" tab, sorry.
Still trying to get these ads to work.

This is the one that works:

So I suppose my question is, does anyone know a program that will render or transcode to this format?
I'm searching and searching

Also, this is what TelVue lists it as:

If anyone can help, please let me know!
I've spent 8-9 hours now looking for something that probably isn't so complicated
There must be so way to render MPEG-2/M2t and AC3 audio

I have never heard of the Telvue Adcaster, but it must be older technology because the Mediainfo appears to conform to standard HDV 720p footage, a legacy format harking back to the days of tape drive camcorders. HDV is MPEG-2 video and has been largely superseded by AVCHD/H.264 which is MPEG-4 video. I am not an Vegas user, but I would think there is an HDV option in the render choices. As an Adobe Premiere Pro user, I recall that there was a trick to getting Adobe to render out a timeline as HDV that involved exporting to an HDV tape camcorder.

Also, you might try exporting from Vegas as a lossless intermediate then using ffmpeg or something similar to encode as HDV. I am sure someone here can help you with with that workflow.

There is always more than one way to skin the cat when it comes to video.

I rendered one under the HDV 720-30p setting on Sony Vegas, it ran but the audio did not play.
So the problem is the audio.

Audio
ID : 4098 (0x1002)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : MPEG Audio
Format version : Version 1
Format profile : Layer 2

Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 128 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Compression mode : Lossy
Stream size : 470 KiB (1%)


My options are:
Audio mode: Stereo / Joint Stereo / Dual channel Mode / Mono Mode
Psychoacoustic Model: 1 / 2
Audio Layer: 1 Audio / 2 Audio
Bit Rate:
Emphasis: None / 50/15 microsec / CCITT J.17
Sample Rate:

is anyone familiar with audio templates or transcoding audio, without changing the video format?

[SameSelf]

Are you sure your video isn't 720p60? That is what is listed in the MediaInfo for the working video. Perhaps the audio is now out of sync and that is causing the problem?

Yes the video does broadcast fine, but the audio doesn't play because it's not in AC3
