Importing M2ts files ....
Hello ,
Trying to get m2ts files into FCE and I've searched the forum and I'm still confused.
INFO:
The footage was shot to SD Card on a Sony HDR-CX430.
I'm trying to use files in a project formatted 1920x1080..
Transferred the m2ts footage to computer via flash drive and files play fine in QT but won't import to FCE or iMovie.
I downloaded FREE MTS M2TS CONVERTER and that opens them and converts them but there are so many choices of
what to convert them to I don't know what to choose.
First time I chose DVC Pro 1080i and they still won't import. Resulting file is an mp4.
FCE gives generic message: FILE ERROR, 1 file unrecognized, 0 access denied etc..,
it took 24hrs. to do one conversion of a 6 gig file so hoping someone can school me.
Option :
Would I have success if I hooked up camera straight to computer even though they are m2ts files or if Used a card reader ?
Thaks for any help,
Al
