After BitVice created the m2v file from my movie, I double-clicked on the new file and Microsoft Excel tried to open it. Shouldn this be a Quicktime file?
Quicktime cannot play m2v/MPEG2 files, yet. So even if the BitVice files had a “Quicktime file type,” you would get an error message if you double-clicked them. The m2v files have a file type that indentifies them as generic binary files and they work just fine when you import them into DVD SP. However, when you try to double-click these files, your computer uses whatever program (such as Excel) that is the default for opening generic binary files. If you do have a application that plays m2v files, such as VideoLAN Client for OS X, you can open these BitVice m2v files through the application’s Open menu.
