Converting m2t HD files into MOV file - FCP can edit PC HD files

Focus Enhancements Hard Drive is cool ( actually when it is running it gets quite hot)
You have to decide if you are going to record m2t file or mov file - pc vs mac editing
Now if you do not know you gotsa problem.

One work around is $50.00 clipwrap that does not convert but wrap an m2t file so that FCP in a MAC can recognize it.

Supports all m2t formats:

Now you're not limited to specific HDV m2t files will be compatible with FCP when it comes time to edit.

Automatically recombines spanned files: If your direct to disk recorder splits files every 4GB,
Handy if you have multiple camera editing - lock up once and go.

ClipWrap automatically detects these spanned clips and will recombine them into a single seamless QuickTime movie.

Also it does not destroy the timecode from the original file ... in case you want to recapture or lock up sources to a timecode. .

a good tool to have for a production pipeline.
