FAQ

How do I combine multiple .m2t files on my timeline?

For maximum compatibility with PCs and MACs the Datavideo DN-300, DN-400, DN-500 are FAT32 based. FAT32 uses a 2G (approx) file limit, so longer clips will be broken into several sequential files.
Because of the nature of Open GOP compression, the Open GOP structure of an .m2t stream requires information that is contained in these multiple files to have a truly continuous video/audio file.
As some NLE systems do not combine the m2t files when imported, this needs to be done prior to import, so Datavideo provide a utility (M2T_FileCombine.exe) to combine the m2t files.
