MPG extensions-Why?

[pepegota]

I load my MTS files from the cam and do my thing with them. Then, I "save as first clip (MTS)" but, I get mpg instead. I then change the extension to MTS and continue successfully to TSMuxer. Why do they not keep the same extension-what a pain to always have to change them.

Have you tried this, Share>Create Video File, Custom. Then in the Save as type, select MPEG Transport Stream files (*.m2t) ? It should get you the same as your source files.

Yes, I have but, giving an mpg extension is crazy and it should be the correct extension without these games. If I rename the mpg, all goes well but, I should not have to do it. That's my point.

There is no particular magic in the .mts extension. They are mpeg files after all, and the ones with .mpg as their extension in your process have the same properties as the .mts ones. So what's the big deal?

Then, why should I have to change the extension to make it work with TSMuxer? Some poor slob who does not know this will be thrown for a loss. No obfuscation is the reason. Give the same extension as the bloody input-is that so hard?
