I have decided to upload some clips to the great pond5 stock library. My shots are from Canon XH-A1
in HDV 1080 50i format.I understand from this forum that native HDV is now accepted but in a .mov format(container).
Since I am in a PC and I have Adob Premier Pro2,
Canopus Edius Pro 4.5 and Procoder too.I tried these
programme but no option to export (transcode)from
.m2t to.mov(HDV) format.Tried mpeg streamclip also. No go from .m2t to .mov HDV. I know that MJPEG is the way to go but generates very large files (above 500mb for a 20sec clip )and a noticeable quality hit happens.
Is there any app. that can do it.Or may I upload in
.m2t format which is better for my connection speed.

I wanted to ask same question, i tried MPEG streamclip but how to mux m2t to .mov container because packing to mjpeg gives terrible results, specially in dark conditions. i hope that someone has answer both of us.

I have the Canon HV20 and it also captures in MPEG or m2t format to take. I use Premier Pro CS3 but have had to convert to MJPEG inside the .MOV to upload. Indeed they are very large files. Many times a 12 second clip will exceed 500mb. I agree if there was a way to keep the mpeg or m2t the clips could be longer and/or smaller giving the buyer a better product. Let us all know if ya'll come up with something. Don

Quicktime doesn't support HDV on Win* systems. DvcproHD neither. Probably with QT8 or 9...

Try it with the "golden rule of encoding": Use clean source files. Thus uncompressed clips (I mean really uncompressed, not the captured file format). It probably takes some time to render the uncompressed clip in HD and you´ll need some disc space, but afterwards the encoding with streamclip is faster and the result should be much better.
I am always converting DV-avi to DV-mov or pjpeg-mov (and also DV-videos to flv and mpeg4) this way. Just gives the best result.
Seems you gotta have to deal with the mentioned file sizes if you want to provide good quality.
