Which QuickTime installer do I have to choose?
Apple QuickTime 7 is the official distribution of QuickTime. This freeinstaller is recommended, however it is a very large file (more than 20MB without iTunes) and it does not include MPEG-2 decoding (you have tobuy the MPEG-2 playback component separately from Apple, for $19.99).KL QuickTime Alternative is a free unofficial distribution ofQuickTime. It has a quite smaller installer (less than 15 MB) andincludes MPEG-2 decoding in the 'Additional plugins'. When youinstall it, be sure to enable the checkbox'Additional plugins',otherwise the MPEG-2 decoder will not be installed. You can chooseeither the full or the lite version.
THE LATEST VERSIONOF QUICKTIMEALTERNATIVE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MPEG STREAMCLIP; PLEASE DOWNLOADQUICKTIME ALTERNATIVE 1.81 USING THE ABOVE LINK.
I have Apple iTunes or Apple QuickTime alreadyinstalled, can I use QuickTime Alternative?
You can replace Apple QuickTime with QuickTime Alternative withoutcausing problems to iTunes. Just start the QuickTime Alternativeinstaller, and choose to uninstall Apple QuickTime before installingQuickTime Alternative.MPEG Streamclip shows a green screen and freezes. Whatshould I do?
This may happen with some graphic cards. In this case, go to yourcontrol panel, open QuickTime settings, select 'Advanced' and, in Videosettings, disable DirectDraw acceleration. Please do not disableDirectDraw, but only DirectDraw acceleration; keep DirectDraw enabledor MPEG Streamclip will not display the player.Video conversion is performed in the YUV color space; you can choose toscale video to any frame size using a professional 2D-FIR scaler(better than bicubic) but you can also leave it unscaled. Otheroptional video processing features include a powerful motion-adaptivedeinterlacer, a field dominance converter, a chroma reinterlacer and anoption to perform interlaced scaling instead of progressive scaling.Audio can be converted to uncompressed or to IMA, AAC, MP2 or AMR usingthe high-quality MP1/MP2/AC3/PCM built-in decoders of MPEG Streamclip;it is also kept in perfect sync with video using a timekeeping system.
MPEG Streamclip can save edited movies as MOV files, and (whenpossible) as AVI or MP4 files. Edited MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files are savedas MPEG or TS files.
MPEG Streamclip can also convert MPEG-2 transport streams into muxedMPEG-2 files, for immediate burning at full quality with most DVDauthoring applications; it can also demux MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files andtransport streams with MPEG, AC3, PCM audio to M2V and AIFF (or M1A orAC3) files, for immediate burning at full quality with DVD authoringapplications. A special demuxing option is available for use inQuickTime Pro: this application does not work well with M2V files, butMPEG Streamclip can write a special 'unscaled' M2V file that preservesfull video quality.
MPEG Streamclip can handle files and streams larger than 4 GB, split inany number of segments, or with multiple audio tracks, and can alsooptionally handle timecode breaks. It is compatible with MPEG-1 andMPEG-2 video, MPEG layer 1/2 (MP1/MP2) audio, AC3/A52 audio, and PCMaudio.
The player included in MPEG Streamclip lets you preview the files andtransport streams before doing the conversion; it also lets youvisually set the In and Out points for the conversion so you canconvert just the part of the file you are interested in, and also cutcommercials and other unwanted parts, or edit the stream and join twostreams with Cut/Copy/Paste.
MPEG Streamclip is compatible with the Apple iPod 5G. Use the MPEG-4exporter to make MP4 video files that can be easily imported in youriPod!
'I am new to Mac so please forgive my ignorance. I have a Sony video camera which has .mpg files. I wanted to use these files in imovie so I googled how to convert them and came up with MPEG Streamclip. It wiped my MPEG-2 Playback Component. I downloaded it again from the Apple store but when I went to install it told me it was too old for my system. What can I do now?' A question from Apple Communities.
Many QuickTime users would come across playback errors now and then. Actually, QuickTime now only supports a few media file formats, including QTFF (QuickTime File Format), AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3, and MPEG program stream. With additional QuickTime components like MPEG-2 playback component, QuickTime could recognize ASF, DivX Media Format, Flash Video, Matroska, OGG and others. With the help of these codec component, you could watch almost all media files on QuickTime. The problem is that not a codec component would enable you to play all media files on QuickTime. So, is there any alternative to QuickTime playback component or even QuickTime? This guide would show you some solutions.
Part 1: Brief Introduction to MPEG-2 Playback Component
The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved into one track) and nonmultiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams.
MPEG-2 is the standard for the digital TV world due to its great performance in video compression. Its wonderful video compression that produces interlaced and progressive videos even allows for backward compatibility with MPEG-1. Meanwhile, the audio encoding is also available in MPEG-2. MPEG-2 audio compression provides for superior bit rates of up to 64kbps. As to the stream performance, MPEG-2 is able to combine different MPEG streams in a single transmission stream.
QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component supports a number of files such as mpg, mpeg, vow, vroom, m2v, m2a, and m2s. Audio files supported by this component are any of the above files that contain audio layer 1 or 2. This component could also play back non-protected DVD discs as well.
As to its disadvantages, any MPEG file that has a PCM, DTS, or AC3 audios are not supported. Meanwhile, any disc with a CSS protection is not supported by this MPEG-2 playback component.
Since MPEG-2 playback component has multiple cons, and some people couldn't even download MPEG-2 playback component on their computer, we would like to recommend 2 alternatives to QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component below.
