How to export m2t or m2ts with smart rendering technology using CS4 SDK?

[bravoice]

   Hi, I'd like to export my m2t/m2ts files without re-encoding, how should I do? Could you give some demo samples?

   Thanks.

Hi bravoice,

Any reason why you need to stick with the CS4 SDK, rather than the new CS5 SDK?

For smart rendering in CS4 and CS5, you'll need to develop no less than 3 different plug-ins: an importer, a renderer, and an exporter.  The importer will read in frames from the MPEG-2 source, and store them using a custom pixel format.  The renderer is needed to pass these frames across the process boundary when rendering through Adobe Media Encoder.  And the exporter requests the custom pixel format and writes the untouched frames or GOPs out to the destination file.  All three plug-ins need to be prepared to handle a standard (non-custom) pixel format, in the event that an effect or other operation is done that requires the frames to be decompressed and processed.  It's not something to attempt unless you're willing to really get your hands dirty.  Let me know if you're interested in more details.

Hi Zac Lam, thank you for your response.

I ask that question doesn't mean I must stick with CS4 SDK, just because my computer is out of date now, but it will be upgraded someday when I get enought money.

You've gave me the valuable information on exporting m2t/m2ts files with smart rendering technology. I know such coding procedure is a very complicated one, but if you give me some more detailed information, It would be greatly appreciated.

cs4 does not support m2ts file formate.  You will have to convert m2ts files to a different format.  This was exactly my problem.  With CS5 all the problems are gone and you also get HD as well if you camera is HD>  CS5 has all kinds of advantages over CS4  good luck Ken
