Capturing HD Video

    OK I am trying to capture some HD video off my new Sony HDV Z5E camera... I have a trial version of Vegas Pro 9... I plugged it all in and started to capture... But when the files ended up on my computer they are .m2t files ??? I was expecting MPEG2 files :(

   Am I doing something wrong ? Help please...  :D

   i believe there are 3 types of common mpeg-2 streams - elementary, transport, and program.

   .m2t is the transport stream.

   and besides, you don't want to edit MPEG. It's not an editing codec. Transcode to an I-frame codec like DVCProHD.

    Another quickie... as well as getting the m2t file... it also has a .sfk file, anyone tell me what this is as well ? If I am going to copy all of the content onto a hard drive for a client what do I need to include... can I put just the mpg, or should i include the m2t and sfk files as well ?

   And just to clarify once I captured the video as m2t files, if I change the .m2t to mpg the video will work right ? So I dont need to render or publish or anything techie, I can simply change the extension...
