Question

No recognized audio in .M2TS files

I've seen a couple of different threads about this issue that have said the same thing but all have referenced AVCHD from various Sony Cameras. In my case my footage is from  HDPVR. Why the capture device would matter doesn't make any sense to me but regardless Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't just not import the audio... it doesn't recognize it at all. There is no mention of audio at all when looking at the properties.

My footage is recorded with AC3 (2 channel source)

As everyone else has said... there was no issue with 5.5 which is what I'm still using to edit since this is obviously broken in CS6.

I've yet to see a concrete solution anywhere. I was hopeful that a bug fix would be included in the update today but no such luck.

So what's the solution Adobe? Is there a bugfix coming? In the mean time I should just leave CS6 installed in hopes of an update to fix the issue?

Slightly Annoyed with this.

    Sorry to dig up what seems to be an old question, but I've recently made the move to PPro after upgrading my PC in order to run it.  However, I'm having the same issue with my .m2ts files and audio.

    My rig: Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

    120gb Intel SSD/1tb Samsung HDD

    8gb RAM/ GPU GForce GTX560

    My camara: Hitachi DZ-HD90

    1920x1080 29fps

    Audio bit rate 256kbps 2channel stereo 48kHz

    The camera records in .m2ts files and the Hitachi software bundle can convert those files to h.264 (which are still .m2ts files, I think) or MP4 files which are heavily compressed and not usable.

    I've tried all the suggestions above, but there's one thing I'm not really sure about, and that's the file tree structure that I'm supposed to save my footage in.  I saw a screen shot of an example somewhere, but I'm not completely sure I've done it correctly.

    It would be nice if I could just import the files directly off my camera though.  The problem is, PPro only imports the video and not the audio track.  I've copied the complete file structure from the camera itself to my PC's HDD and still, no audio.

    Here's a screen shot.

    Adobe CS6 have a noTorioous problem n support to MPEG2 . The solution is the abandon of Cs6 and retirn to CS5.5. Even withb adition of  Rovi Totalcode, the Mpeg2 was not fully implemwnted.

    So not waiste your time with CS6 trying to work qiyh MPEG variatons.

    Adobe removed this featire.

    Thanks for the reply!

    So Adobe removed m2ts compatibility for cs2?  Well isn't that just great.

    I'm currently using the trial version, guess I'll go look for a 5.5 trail somewhere. Hopefully it's not that different from 6, as I was just getting used to editing GoPro footage with it.

    That's a bummer.

    Just to add as a note,

    Sont Vegas (understandably) works fine in the same enviroment and loads (the audio of) mts files (that dont work in CS6) quite ok. Adding extra software like this doesn't appear to fix or even help with CS6, so i am expecting their codec paths and logic work independantly of windows in general, do their own thing and thus the problem is within the app and configuration itself and less a related codec/app/patch/windows concern.

    How, exactly, are you importing the footage? Are you using the Media Browser? Does the footage come in an AVCHD folder structure? If so, then you need to make sure that you're not just importing the video essence file, which loses the connection to the audio data.

    I'm importing via the media browser. The footage is recorded with a Hauppauge HD PVR. All the capture produces is a .M2TS file... no folder structure. Just simply that single file. Doing nothing different than I did in 5.5.

    Would it be possible for you to supply small sample file(s)? If so, I will PM you a location to upload them to. Thank you.
