Playing raw m2t in Nero

I just played the raw HD footage from the Z1 linked by Spot, using Nero Showtime. The video is the best I have ever seen even on my 1280 res CRT, but the audio is garbled. Am I using the right codex, the h2 something MPEG4? I did not recode the raw footage, just opened the files in Showtime.

The DOF is really great and the only artifacts I saw was in the water highlited reflections top right of the mallard.

Keep in mind...when you view it in nero, you're seeing it in a 601 colorspace, not the ITU 709 colorspace. Just an FYI. In other words, it will look BETTER than you're seeing in the current view.

So played from Vegas via Cineforms codex will show the 701? What about my question re garbled audio?

Well to the garbled audio: These files have been shot for image quality evaluation purposes and audio was completely ignored during shooting these files (audio was on manual, not on agc, so there might be clipping or too low levels), because at the time of shooting them, it was not known that they once would be distibuted over internet. So please don't use these files for evaluating the audio quality of the FX1.

CineForm remaps the 709 information to 601, because Vegas currently doesn't support decoding 709 information. No one does right now. MainConcept will have to implement this in their SDK and tools.
The audio, is just audio from where it was shot, not intended for evaluation, because audio was not a consideration when the video was being taken.

I am not saying the audio was poor - Nero did not reproduce it right. It was staic, broken-up like an out reach walkie-talkie, and I wondered whether I was using the wrong application/codex to play.
