Neil, I fear that you are incorrect in suggesting that the .m2t file which Gerald enquired about is part of the AVCHD family. AVCHD uses the MPEG 4 based H.264 compression system whereas HDV (on tape or file) uses MPEG 2 compression.
The .m2t file format is the standard file format in which HDV is captured by NLE programs such as Premiere, Edius, Vegas etc. and retains the MPEG2 compression system. There is no conversion to AVCHD involved. .m2t is an MPEG2 transport stream format. 'OnLocation' records in .m2t format because that is exactly what Adobe Premiere requires for editing. For the avoidance of doubt, .MTS file format IS for AVCHD but this is not used by the HDV system Julian Bristol, England > ________________________________________________________________________ > 1b.
