I need to offload M2T files to a hard drive or two that should be in the mail for a project i shot for. I have never done that and have looked at the search and didn't find anything either.

I have an A1 with Final cut Studio, do I need cineform to get the m2t? Right now FCP offloads as .mov files.

Once i tried HDVSplit software to capture video directly to computer harddisc. HDVSplit, a free software, captured videos as m2t files.

I will be doing the exact same thing as Derek next week and have also never done this. I also work in FCP. Any assistance would be great!

Anyone have any info on this?

I'm not a Mac person. Does FCP not allow you to export or render to an M2T file? Keep searching the post-processing threads. I found this discussion on one of them that might help:

I'm not certain, but this program might work for you -- if you're on a mac.

Little 'O iMovie will export an m2t file.

Now they want it in Cineform QT files, so i guess this doesn't apply any more. Thanks for everyones help.

Derek, how did the Cineform QT thing work out for you. I am having to do the exact same thing with a project I shot last week and will need to upload via Cineform QT this week and I've never used it before. Any tips or suggestions?

It was easy, just had to export it through QT conversion. 1gb/min tho. So make some room.

This program captures files as m2t. There's a trial version
