Is there a free software that can join two .m2t files together?(opposite of HDVSplit)
I have two *.m2t files that I want to join together, without any encoding/rendering. I'd like to have one single m2t file. (the opposite of HDVSplit, which splits one m2t file into several smaller ones)
Thanks for your help! |
I use Womble MPEG editor. It's not free tho.

if u work in ms windows, then open MS DOS window and from command line enter:
C> copy/b m2t_file_name1 m2t_file_name2 resultant_m2t_file_name that's it. |

resulting m2t file refuses to play in Playstation 3. :( (not really sure why.... :( ) |

from command line... Works perfectly when the resulting M2T is played in Playstation 3! :) |

1. Do these 2 m2t files need to reside in the root of C drive before joining them? 2. Suppose my first m2t file is 001.m2t and my second is 002.m2t, and I want the result to be 003.m2t. Using the above scenario, what EXACTLY do I put on the command line? |

I thought there is a + sign in the syntax. for example.
COPY /B 1.m2t + 2.m2t NEW.m2t To make it easier, you can copy both m2t files to C:\ root. Then hit Windows-R and type "CMD" then enter. It opens a Command Prompt windows. type "cd\" to switch to the room directory. Then enter the copy command. |

Thanks for your reply Taky! I'll try that.

Ok, I finally tried it and this worked in joining my files:
C:\>copy/b test001.m2t+test002.m2t result.m2t |
Re: Is there a free software that can join two .m2t files together?(opposite of HDVSp
Or you can just do this
copy/b test001.m2t+test002.m2t Then the test001.m2t will be overwritten with the joined content. |

C:\>copy/b test001.m2t+test002.m2t which should have resulted in 001 being a new joined with 002. When I play it back, the file size is double of what the original was, but the length of the clip was the original 001 file. What am I doing wrong? |
Re: Is there a free software that can join two .m2t files together?(opposite of HDVSp
I also tried this file joiner, but the result was the same.... resulting file size looks correct because it's the sum of both files put together, but the length of the result is only 1 clip.

That is because the files were joined but the metadata inside the files wasn't updated.
You can not join m2t files that way. |

You can join your files together if you rewrap them into a mpg wrapper then use the "copy" trick on the mpg files.
This does not re-encode them or reduce their quality. It only changes their container. Once you have the file put together you can change the container back to m2t. A program called ffmpeg will change containers for you and its free. |

Thanks Chris, I'll try that when I get home!

I've used MPEG Streamclip to do it.

Re: Is there a free software that can join two .m2t files together?(opposite of HDVSp
As you've found out, you can't just join two arbitrary m2t files together. It's nothing to do with metadata. The files contain several timing fields and a sudden jump can cause problems or confuse software that attempts to read or play the joined file. Even if the software can handle these jumps, there is likely to be visual corruption at the joins where the inter-frame references are broken.
The best way to do this is to use software that remuxes/restreams the two files into one - effectively repackaging it without re-rendering the actual video and audio data, which I think is what MPEG Streamclip does. |

Do it all the time with MultiAVCHD and it is free on top of that. The software is not real clear cut on the process but it does it and it is really fast in the joining.
Email me if you have any questions but I have posted the process here on the fourm somewhere. |
Re: Is there a free software that can join two .m2t files together?(opposite of HDVSp
I've just downloaded MultiAVCHD and tried joining .m2t files, but no success. For those who were successful, are you sure you're editing .m2t and not .mts? So far, I've not been able to join .m2t files with all of the above scenarios.

I have no .m2t files to experiment with, but this freeware app joins everything I've tried with it, including .mts files.

Here's my confirmed working method for this:
ffmpeg -i "concat:in1.m2ts|in2.m2ts|in3.m2ts|in4.m2ts" -c copy output.m2ts That way you get a seamless result. Whereas if you don't merge with ffmpeg and just put the files on timeline in Adobe Premiere, there will be a huge gap both in audio and video. The above result is fast (no re-encoding). You have to naturally get free ffmpeg in order for that to work and you can concatenate as many files as you want (and .m2t will work fine). |
