PE 2023 m2T files gve a media pending erroro

[Leo27575367dn8h]

M2T files will not show in a new project, while in my previous version 2019 they did show up?

What is happening here?

[Leo27575367dn8h]

At the Events screen it says something like "Attempt recursion frame change broken off"".  So indexing doesn't work either.

What is the source of the file?  Can you post a sample clip here?  I'll download it and try to resolve it here.

Change extension to .mpg and see how that goes.

what is the origin of the file?

Post screenshot of file in MediaInfo in treeview.

I have some old m2t files, they import just fine.

The 15 year old system of AVCHD/MTS/MT2S/Blu-Ray/5 Channel audio got chewed up in a legal tangle a couple years ago.

If that doesn't work, consider sticking with your older version if it handles your files well.

I can't get an online chat this way.

And going back to a four years old version is not a solution

Use https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter to make a file that will import

m2t is mpeg2, mts/mt2s is mpeg4.

Thanks for the correction.  I can get confused.  I used to have and use some AVCHD gear that worked with PrE clear back about version 9.  Now everything I have uses H.264 containers and all work well with the current PrE.  Trying to help people here with other specifications is a challenge!
