That's the message when exporting an HD movie to Cineform m2t file from PPro2. Download to Cineform AVI from XH-A1 is easy. Editing the AVI in PPro2 is easy. But exporting to m2t file aborts with cryptic message "Can't create m2t file" Won't create on any of my hard drives or RAID arrays.
Any suggestions?

2 Maxtor SATA for boot, programs and other data

M2T export using the CineForm M2T export option is currently disabled under PPro2.0. You can use the Adobe Media Encoder instead, setting the format to MPEG2 and the Preset the HDV 1080i or 720p to match your target.

Hi

I have the same problem...When I export the m2t file via the adobe media encoder is the quality the same or not??

Best regards.

I'd like to know as well.

Both methods use the Mainconcept MPEG encoder, so the quality is the same.

Thank you very much for the answer David.

Hey David, out of curiosity...what's the reason behind this bug not having been resolved by now?

Not that it's a big deal, it's just a question that often comes up that Cineform have been aware of for a while. I imagine it must be a bug on Premiere's end more than anything, but do you imagine this will work by the time CS3 comes out?

Hmm...trying to export through Adobe Media Encoder gives me the same error message.

Any way at all to export m2t through CS3?
