I'm attempting to render a 30 minute long TV show. The network wants the following specs.

Video Format: 480i, 29.97 frames/sec (59.94 fields/sec) SD
File Format: MPEG-2 Program Stream (.mpg)
Image Size:
 4:3 aspect ratio:
 Horizontal: 720 pixels
 Vertical: 480 pixels
 Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9
Preferred Format:
 Video Codec: MPEG-2 Long GOP 4:2:2 ML@MP
 Video Bit Rate: 15 Mbps Constant Bit Rate (not variable)

Most of this i understand. I don't know what the "4:2:2" is or the "ML@MP" or the "Long GOP." I'm pretty new at this. If someone could let me in on the best way to render to these specs, it would be helpful.

I attempted to render an mpeg2 using the blue ray format (that was the only way i could get 15mpbs) but it rendered as a ".m2v" file and the network told me that was an unrecognized file type and they couldn't use it.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Select the HELP option for EACH MPEG page and it will give you this information.

You have to choose HIGH PROFILE to allow for 4:2:2. That is on the VIdeo TAB under the PROFILE dropdown. This also allows you to set the higher bitrate.
The 4:2:2 is under the ADVANCED at the bottom.

Use CLOSED GOPS- NONE SHORT.

You don't mention audio, what do they want for that?
