I have some m2ts files that PD7 can not import. I simply get "An error occured while opening this media file in the Media Library". They play fine in WMP and other players so I don't think it's a codec issue. I've downloaded a few trial m2ts converters and they handle them fine. Does anyone have any recomendations on converters they have used and like with PD7 and HD before I buy one?

Hi JL,

I use a capture program that produces M2ts files. I just rename them to MPG and PD7 imports and edits them fine. If you have a lot of files you might want to invest in a re-naming program that you can get online. WIKI has this defining them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.m2ts.

Thanks Kent, the renaming will only work in some instances as it depends on what codec was used for the m2ts files. In my case, the files I have used VC-1 which is a common Blu-ray video codec (although not for PD7 BDMV discs). It appears that PD7 might not support VC-1 hence my import issue perhaps.
