Bad Interlacing Artefacts in Quicktime with MPEG-plugin

Hello,
I have Quicktime and the Quicktine MPEG plugin.
The problem is that it does not show HDTV-movies in
mpeg format with sufficient quality. The image is more
or less unusuable because of the interlacing artefacts.
I have a variety of streams here (Sony, Hitachi, Pioneer HDTV demo movies). But they are all mpeg format.
This doesnt not seem to appear in files with .mov-Format,
only in .mpeg. I cannot convert the movies to a different
format without losing the HDTV image quality either.
The image quality that Quicktime produces looks like this here: http://www.billiger-online.de/quicktimehdtv.png
You can clearly see the interlacing artefacts.
Or, if we compare the quality of the same stream with Quicktime
(left) and Windows Media Player (right), it looks like this:
http://www.billiger-online.de/interlacing.png
Quicktime clearly produces a worse image quality than
Windows Media Player. It seems like the Quicktime mpeg
plugin cannot cope with interlacing ?
I am using Max/Jitter to process video streams and frames,
and I cannot work with this framework if Quicktime
generates such a bad image quality. Does anybody know
what to do to bring Quicktime avoid the interlacing artefacts ? Unfortunately, all my current work depends
on the ability to extract the HDTV frames for further
processing.
Best regards

My sequence setting is set to H.264 for compressor.
Why?
You are working with DVC Pro material -set it to DVC Pro.
DVD authoring uses MPEG 2 as its basis. You are compressing the material unneccessarily twice !
I suspect you have the wrong field dominance in your Sequence too.
Check that your Easy Setup is DVC Pro then go to Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset.
Export DVC Pro as Current Settings and you should be good.

Lion OS with Quicktime playing MPEGs

I have been attempting to find a way to play MPEGs on my Macbook Pro. I downloaded OS Lion. The MPEGs would not play in this. I then downloaded the Streamclip MPEG application and the Quicktime MPEG Component package. I used Streamclip to install this. Even after doing this, the MPEGs would not play. I then converted them using Streamclip (to .mov) and these new converted files will STILL not play. All throughout I have gotten the same message - that I am missing codecs needed to play the movies (even for the .mov ones).
Can anyone offer any help? I can see thumbnails of the movies now (which I couldn't before), but when I click them to play, they still won't play.
I am running Quicktime Player V. 10.1
OS X 10.7.3

"MPEG" is a kind of catch-all for multiple formats so it would help to know which specific mpeg codec. There's various MediaInfo applications for OSX that will give you all kinds of details about the codecs used.
You may in general improve video playback with Quicktime with the help of

Synching audio problem with MPEG-4 video in QuickTime

Hello,
I’m having a problem with MPEG-4 video file I created with TechSmith Camtasia (6.0.1).
Problem: The audio does not sync up with the video when played with Apple QuickTime 7.6 (latest build) in Windows Vista. The longer the video plays the more out of sync the audio is. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I play the file using Adobe Media Player or Adobe Flash Player (plug-in in Internet Explorer), the video and audio sync up and all is good.
Is there a problem with how Quicktime decompresses this type of file?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Thanks,
Leo

If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.

Why doesn't Quicktime Support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?

Last summer I bought a Mac Mini so I could use iMovie and iDVD to convert and edit my 20 year old VHS tapes of family events to DVDs. This Christmas I got a Samsung DVD Recorer-VCR unit that easily copies VHS to DVD in MPEG-2 format with AC3 sound.
So, I'm all set to use my Mac Mini and begin my family archives project - or so I thouhgt. I found that Quicktime and iMovie don't read MPEG-2!! Then I was relieved to find that there is a plug-in that works with Quicktime Pro that will read MPEG-2. I spent the $50 to download these 2 programs and sure enough Quikcktime Pro will now read the MPEG-2 files from my Samsung unit. However, there is no sound!!!
Is Apple purposely making it impossible to do what I'm trying to do?
Why doesn't Quicktime or iMovie support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?
Is there some other sound format that is normally used with MPEG-2?
Why would someone create software that reads movie files but doesn'rt read the sound that goes with them?
If I can't hear my little girl sing on these movies, then this whole project is a big waste of time and money!!
I hope someone from Apple can give me some answers.

FWIW, MPEG is a distribution format, not an editing format. The best way would be to convert VHS to DV, edit it in iMovie and burn THAT to DVDs.
Sure, MPEG is a nice compressed format taking much less space than DV but the compression takes away quality.
IMO the best approach with MPEG source would be to edit (yes, it CAN be edited) it with apps like MPEG Streamclip (very limited editing features) or Capty MPEG Edit EX (more features) and author the edited MPEGs via apps like Toast, DVDSP, Capty MPEG Edit, Sizzle etc. THEN you won't lose any quality (unless some of the GOPs have to be re-encoded, that is).
BTW, unlike QT Player, MPEG Streamclip can play also AC3 or PCM audio in MPEG files.

Why does De-interlacing looks better with MPEG StreamClip?

For our client we need to render 1080i for TV and 1080p for WEB. After creating graphics in AE we add final touch and audio in PR.
If we make it progressive in PR (CC2014.1) the zoom in the packshot does not look good.
However if we make the 1080i ProRes progressive in MPEG Streamclip the zoom does look great.
How is it possible a freeware swiss army-knife makes a better progressive export than commercial software?
Or is there something we do wrong?
Herewith links to the ProRes material:
1 1080i rendered from AE: http://gvs.ftpaccess.cc/_q8w_U9SXYWR6tR

Hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense.

hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Quicktime with a question mark

I am trying to play some Mp4 movies that I uploaded to my MobileMe gallery and I cannot play the same on my Mac. I get a question mark within the Q symbol. No movies on my MobileMe is playing after upgrading to 10.6. Any suggestions?

Well, I am still no wiser, but will let you know if anything else occurs to me. Your movie will not play for me either. The page loads, and the poster frame loads, get a spinning pizza for maybe 20 seconds, and the a notice plastered to the bottom of the movie that QuickTime can't play it. It will download, and then plays in QT just fine. From this I'm going to assume it isn't a problem with your plugins, since it won't play for me either.
Since it was playing in QT after I downloaded it, I tried uploading it from QTX to my web gallery:
http://gallery.mac.com/francines#100086
I'll take it down of course as soon as I finish trying to figure this out. Anyway, the point is that it plays there just fine, but I quickly discovered that QTX had converted it to the m4v format for the two larger versions, and to a 3gp format for the smallest version.
So I wondered if the mp4 format was the problem. I seem to have disposed of most of my mp4s online, but did find one still up:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Movies/kenstr.html
Oddly enough in the web page it plays in the QT7 plugin (you can tell by the control bar), but downloaded it plays in QTX. And if I drag the downloaded mp4 into the Safari window it plays with QTX, as does the download I did of your movie!
And I am indeed running Snow Leopard, and have been working on my review here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo1.html
It is working surprisingly well. This is the first real glitch that I can't understand AT ALL that I've run into.
One final question: how did you get your movie into your Gallery? I ask because there are several different ways to do that. As I mentioned above, I put your movie up using the QTX Player, went to the Share menu and selected MobileMe Gallery.

I need some serious help with MPEG Streamclip and iMovie 11

Hello, everyone!
I hope that some kind soul here is able to help me. My sister-in-law asked me if I could help her re-edit a video that they made of a conference she gave because she didn't like the way some parts were edited. I oh-so-kindly (and perhaps stupidly) offered to help her out!
A little background: even though I studied audiovisual communications in college, I leaned (a LOT) towards the audio production part of it and, lately, photography, too. That means that I'm not very good at the whole creating-a-movie-in-iMovie thing, even though I know it's supposed to be easy.
So, here goes: I have a DVD from her which has the typical TS files for audio and video. I downloaded a program called MPEG Streamclip and then it said I needed to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component so that I could rip the DVD my sister-in-law gave me. I bought the component.
I've converted, done small, 1-minute tests, of the DVD with MPEG Streamclip to DV and also to MP4 (just in case). I do it, then import them to iMovie 11. I don't edit anything at all, just a test to see how it looks, so I immediately send the project to iDVD to see how it looks. It DOES NOT look good.
Compared to the DVD she gave me, which looks all smooth (picture-wise), mine has a certain amount (NOT HUGE) of pixelation. I can tell especially because there are some slides that were added to her project, so I can see the pixelated parts around the edges of the letters.
The DVD she gave me does NOT look HD. In fact, it looks SD (4:3), so I don't believe it's that.
If anybody here knows about this, what am I doing wrong? Am I not ripping it correctly using MPEG Streamclip? Am I not making the iMovie 11 project right? Am I burning in the "wrong way"?
If it's the MPEG Streamclip ripping that I'm doing wrong, what are the settings I should be using? What format should I be using so that it is VERY iMovie-friendly?
I want the final video that I would edit to look exactly as the one she gave me. That IS possible, right?
For extra information, if needed, I am running a MacBook Pro, 13", i7 with 4 GB of RAM and am running OS 10.6.6. I've been a Mac user since the OS 9 days.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
Serge

Ok. Got it!!!
Z, thanks a lot!! Now things don't look pixelated and my test burn looks exactly like the dvd my sister-in-law gave me... except for ONE THING:
There are these graphics done in I-don't-know-what program with a cube transition. They look like when you do 3D cube transitions in virtual desktop, you know?
Anyway, HER dvd looks completely smooth when you see these transitions but MY dvd looks... well, not right. It looks a bit like the screen or the letters "tremble" or shake a bit. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
I followed your advice to the letter and everything is perfect with the exception of those transitions (because after the transition passes and you see the slide with the writing, it looks completely smooth).
Do you know of something that I can do to help with this problem?
Thanks again!
Serge

Old version of mpeg plugin?

Due to certain app restrictions, I must stay with QT ver 7.4.5 for awhile. I just purchased the mpeg plugin and now find that it is only compatible with QT ver 7.6.
I know that older versions of this plugin worked on pre-7.6 QT. Does anyone know how to get the older version?
Thanks,
Jef

Hi David,
Yeap, I know that now.
I had bought the plug for a different computer with similar needs not to long before the 7.6 update. I just powered ahead to outfit a second system.

With or without add-ons, and after removing/reloading Firefox, some sites behave badly, though they're fine with Internet Explorer.

The computer in question is running Vista. With Firefox 8, some websites, e.g. Whitepages.com, livefreept.com, behave badly. Spedifically, they require the user to click on tabs. But the tabs don't appear at all. I upgraded to Firefox 10, to no effect. The sites work fine on this same computer with Internet Explorer, and on both our XP and Windows 7 computers using older older versions of Firefox. All three are using the same Norton Internet Security program, with the same settings. Starting in safe mode, with no add-ons has no effect. Help!

Only one UPN suffix works with OAM plugin for RSA-integrated Authentication

Only one UPN suffix works with OAM plugin for RSA-integrated Authentication while others give "CredentialsRejected" error
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-
Has anyone seen this before and might know the answer? Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have setup an OAM authentication scheme that uses a custom plugin to use RSA ACE server - all pretty much exactly as it is outlined in the chapter called "Integrating the RSA SecurID Authentication Plug-in" in Oracle Access Manager Integration Guide. Here's the problem:
Everything works fine when I use a particular UPN suffix to login to the RSA Securid Login form that is presented, eg. [email protected], but if I create another user that uses a different UPN suffix as defined in Active Directory, (eg. [email protected]), the credentials are rejected. This happens before the secuirid.pl script even gets a chance to run. After hitting "POST" the user is present with the same login screen he was just at, as expected during an authentication failure.
More info:
- I have performed successful anonymous ldap queries for both users in Active Directory using LDP. Both users exist in the same domain and in the same OU. If I change the UPN (in AD and the RSA database) to something different from the "good" one, on either user, it fails. If I change the UPN to the "good one" on either user (in AD and the RSA database) it works.
- if I test users with either the "good" or the "bad" UPN via the RSA agent tester that sits on the OAM box, both of them show as authenticating successfully. However, it doesn't work for the "bad" UPN when I try to access via a web browser on a remote client (but does work with the "Good" UPN)
- I am not using SSL in any of this yet, it's all http://
- yes, I already got rid of the "-w" parameter in the first line of the perl script, as per the "login can fail if the Login Attribute Contains an "@" Character in Integration Guide Troubleshooting section

What are the logs you see at the ACE server end? You can try passing an additional parameter debug="true" to the authn_securid plug-in - it should generate some more logs at the access server - I think in apps\common\bin.
Also does "ReqHost^www.MyComputer.mydomain.com" look right in the logs?

Can't import into iMovie even after converting files with Mpeg streamclip

Hi,
I have been trying to create iMovie proejcts with .mpeg, .mpg, .mpa. IMovie could not import the files (it tells me it's an uknown error). Then, using mpeg streamclip and exporting the files to quicktime, DV and Avi (tried all the formats that I knew iMovie would support) iMovie still wouldn't import the files.
What am I doing wrong? I have the latest version of iMovie.
Please Help!
Thank you!!!

Have you done the conversion like this:
To convert a DVD or MPEG to DV with MPEG Streamclip (v1.8 or later): Open a desired .VOB on a DVD (DVD/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB, for example) or a MPEG file.
Select the In/Out points if you want to extract just a portion of the video.
Choose "File/Export to DV.../Compression: DV (DV25)". Choose the same video format (PAL/NTSC) as the iMovie project is.
Choose "Split DV stream in Segments" if the content is more than 9 minutes 27 seconds because iMovie 1-4 can't reliably handle longer clip files and it might be a good idea to limit the converted .dv file's size anyway (segmented clips play seamlessly in iMovie).
...and is there enough room on the HD where the iMovie project is? 60 minutes of .dv is 13 GB and iMovie duplicates an imported .dv file so you need 26 GB/hour (unless you use the secret shortcut that prevents the duplication .

Problems rendering HD clips with MP2, and Quicktime with DVC50 compression.

I am using After Effects CS3 on Mac 10.5.8
Ok, so we got this fancy new Grass Vally clip player that takes a very small number of formats. I am trying to render HD clips that are between 10 and 14 seconds long with audio embedded.
One of the formats suggested is MP2. When I try rendering an MP2 file the file extension comes out as .m2v
Also, the audio file is rendered as a separate .wav file. The video looks fine and is of a very small file size, but I can't play it back with Quicktime Pro. I'm not sure if the clip player will play an m2v file but I know that the audio has to be embedded in the same clip. I've looked through all of the audio settings and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
One of the other formats it will take is Quicktime with DVCPRO50 codec. I was able to render out some HD (1920 x 1080) files but the resolution looks like it is only about half what it should be. I've been through all of the settings that I can think of and can't see what is causing it.
I am pretty much at the end of my rope. I even called Grass Valley support and told them my problems. I just assumed that most of their customers would be creating animations with After Effects. The tech support guy wasn't even familiar with After Effects so I come to you guys for support.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks, I will try the MPEG Streamclip.
I don't mean to imply that the tech support guy hadn't heard of After Effects but he had no real experience with it. I'm certain that this isn't the first time an After Effects user has called Grass Valley with this issue. I think their standard issue answer is "It's not our problem, call Adobe." I've worked at four different television stations and at each one we have used AE to render movies to our clip player. I have no doubt that it's the industry standard for this kind of work so it kind of baffles me that Grass Valley has no idea how to make it work with their product.
When the Grass Valley installer came the first question I asked him was "What kind of file formats does it take?" He said he didn't know and to just start trying different things to see if they work. I pretty much told him that I didn't have time for trial and error and that it should be on page one of the manual. We eventually found the spec sheet buried somewhere in the appendix. When I called GV tech support he just rerferred me back to that sheet. Basically he's getting paid to read the manual to me but doesn't have any idea about how it actually applies to their product.

PE7 and JVC GM-HY100 Quicktime and MPEG-2

Hi, another question from me.
I take HiDef footage exclusively and currently use a tape based camcorder.
However, I am interested in getting as good a picture as I can and the JVC GM-HY100 looks very good BUT will PE7 be able to work with one of the file formats that the JVC uses? Apparently that is either Quicktime or MPEG-2 with a long GOP. The JVC puts the data on SD cards so I guess I would move the SD cards to a card reader on my PC and hence migrate the data files that way.
The JVC website goes on to say it has a VBR of 35Mbps.
Any advice would be welcome.
Regards.
Andy

That would be the GY-HM100, Andy. Not the GM-HY100.
And it looks like it records to a number of formats and codecs:
60 Hz setting: HQ mode:1920 x                1080/59.94i, 29.97p, 23.98p,
1440 x 1080/59.94i,                1280 x 720/59.94p, 29.97p, 23.98p
SP mode: 1440 x                1080/59.94i, 1280 x 720/59.94p, 29.97p, 23.98p
50Hz setting: HQ mode:1920 x                1080/50i, 25p
1440 x 1080/50i,                1280 x 720/50p, 25p
SP mode: 1440 x                1080/50i, 1280 x 720/50p, 25p
Th challenge for you will be figuring out which mode you recorded to and then finding a project setting in Premiere Elements to match it!
In all, I'd recommend, for PAL video, you shoot in 1920x1080 25p and use the Hard Drive Camcorder setting for hi-def video.
As I say, JVC cams tend to march to the beat of their own drums, so I can't make any guarantees. But I'd experiment with those specs first.

Does quicktime support mpeg files

does quicktime support mpeg beacuse i downloaded despicable me 2 and opened it up and a messgae said that this file is not supported. HELP.

Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion with QuickTime Player do support some MPEG2 formats, e.g. m2v video only files. Some additional MPEG2 formats can also be played with the (paid for) Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component and the old QuickTime Player 7.6.6 however this combination still cannot play properly MPEG2 with AC3 audio. As an example nearly all VOB files will not play properly with either of these two combinations.
MPEGStreamClip with the paid for Apple MPEG2 QuickTime component can play all MPEG2 files properly as can VLC by itself, i.e. they can also properly play VOB files.
You would have to be more specific about your MPEG files so we can judge what the issue is.
Note also that some people call H.264 files MPEG files although it is a totally different format.
A starting point would be to tell us what the file extension is, .VOB, .m2v, .mpg, .mov, .m4v, .ts, or something else. If you can also use one of the following utilities it should give you lots of information about what kind of video file it is.
