Hi ozstar,

Please explain what you mean by "join them"......
I have just placed 2 m2t clips adjacent on the timeline, and in movie mode they play fluently
without any gaps of any sort.
Are you referring to when you produce?

I'm sorry I didn't explain too well.

I meant I have 3 m2t files which I want to run as one file as the original 'live; show was. Usually I can do this with avi, mpeg etc.

There seem to be a few frames of black and silence before the second clip shows the continuation of the first clip.

I tried a few things and transitions etc but nothing works.

It should just keep going however I have never done this with m2t clips before.

Thanks for the reply.

PS. The original from the flash card was in a folder /HDR/ and had the m2t files, an IDX file and a tracks.dat file.

Maybe somehow the idx and dat file tell the clips where to join?

Now we are going to places I am not too familiar with

.idx files have to do with subtitles text on a dvd ( or maybe index) I think,
and do not have actual video info .
The tracks.dat file……well, a DAT file is a data file, and here I assume it will
give info of how many tracks are used.
You say the original folder is named “HDR” ( High Dynamic Range).
That’s something I only know a bit about from photography. Maybe this is a
folder created by the camera/user of the camera that recorded and stored on the
memory card.
OR, this has all together to do with recording from TV source,
of which I have no knowledge at all.
Maybe others will come in and assist you.

PS:
(I would probably have tried ; copying the whole folder to have copies to mess with.
How does cutting out bits work? Maybe I can open the idx file in Notepad?
What happens if I convert the m2t files to.....mpeg? mp4? wmv?)

Hi ozstar,
So your camera when creating the continuation recorded sequence created additional black frames at the start - is that what you're stating or perhaps when you joined the clips you didn't do so correctly and left a few frames/a gap between the clips. To correct either please place both clips, one after the other, in the track and "drill down" to single frame track display at the join section.*

*Use the slider bottom left or expand the track using the cursor positioned above the track where you'll see the division markers.

Once down to frame level - check the join between the clips.
1. If you have a gap - close it by removing the gap and have the track contents move to each other.
2. If the frames in the second clip are black, edit them out, by splitting and deleting/closing the gap as well.
