Exporting file as .mts file

[mcdonn]

I am academic who is using video for research purposes. I make longer recordings 1+ hours on a Canon XA30 with separate Marantz PMD661 audio recorder(s). I usually sync these files edit them to the same length in Premiere and export .mp4 (H.264) videos and .wav audio files to work with. (It's important for my purposes that audio and video are the same length.) However, I need to archive my video files, and the archive is requiring me to submit a single .mts file. They use tsMuxeR to stitch long .mts files together, but for various reasons I'd rather not use tsMuxeR to stitch mts files.

Is there any way to export a single .mts file in Premiere? I'd like to submit this file to the archive.

Under "Export", you can select MPEG2, MPEG2 Bluray, or H.264 BluRay (as "Format") and under the "Multiplexer" tab select "TS" (either as a check-box or from the MPEG2 dropdown options).

PrPro will make an .m2ts file, but you can just change the extension to .mts.

If you are using 2017 (2017.1.4) or 2018 you do not have the option anymore to set the multiplexer on due to Dolby licence.

Are you saying then that with 2017.1.4 and later it is not possible to export to .m2ts? As in Jax24135's answer.

Yes, Bluray requires dolby. Dolby encoding has been removed.

Adobe Creative Cloud apps use native OS support for Dolby
