Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.

Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

Converting MPEG file to DV File

I had a program on my computer to convert mpeg files to dv files so that I could burn them using IDVD. It was streaming clip or something like that. I found it on the apple website. I have looked and looked and cannot find the free download that I had before. If anyone knows were to go to get this streaming clip program, or anything that would help me achieve the same results in converting mpeg files to dv files, please let me know

Just found my old program download at the following link. The product is MPEG Stream Type and you can find it at this site: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html

Converting .MPEG files in iphoto 09 to be compatible with imovie 09

Is it possible to convert .MPEG files located in iphoto 09, so they can be copied and used in imovie 09? If so, how? Videos are from a Sony Cybershot digital camera. Files from a Canon digital camera convert fine. Thanks.

Yes, personally I'd use mpegstreamclip (although it requires the QT mpeg2 playback component for mpeg2), there are plenty of other converters many of which are free though.

Extracting mpeg files from DVD studio pro burnt DVD

I burnt a dvd with studio pro a while back and have scince deleted the mpeg file. I want to make and edit and burn a new dvd. Is there any way to get my mpeg file back off the dvd so I can edit it?

You can use MPEGStreamclip to either demux the DVD streams (VOBs) back to their elements (.m2v and .AC3) which will create no loss in quality. You can also edit in MPEGStreamclip and then demux (though the editing process is a bit clunky).
Once you have the elemntary streams you can do a "down and dirty" edit in DVD-SP also.
Alternatively MPEGStreamclip can be used to convert the VOBs into Quicktime movies with consequent loss in quality as you will be converting from MPEG (a lossy format), edting and then eventually reconverting that footage back into and MPEG (thereby compressing again)
Best ting about MPEGStreamclip is it's free:

I should add as a caveat that you should only be using this on material that you own.

Convert .mpeg files from JVC Everio HD Camcorder for iDVD/iMovie use?

Hello,
I am a brand new Mac user, but an experienced PC user. I have a JVC Everio 30gb HD camcorder that records video as .mod files, which can then be changed to .mpeg format to view. I want to edit these files and make home DVDs with iMovie and iDVD, but they say that the .mpeg format is not recognized. What do I need to do to use these .mpeg video files with these software programs?
Many thanks in advance!

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

Mpeg files to dvd

Can anyone explain to me how I can burn downloaded MPEG files to a dvd that can be read by a dvd player?

Can anyone explain to me how I can burn downloaded MPEG files to a dvd that can be read by a dvd player?
If you want to use iDVD, you have to first convert them to a QT format that iDVD understands. I'd suggest DVDxDV or MPEGStreamclip, both of which require the Apple MEPG2 Playback component. Or ExportToQT (MPEG2Works), which also requires QT Pro. After conversion to DV or other QT formats, iDVD can burn a DVD for you.
A better option might be MPEG2Works or ffmpegX, which can convert mpeg2files without re-encoding to DVD img files.

How can i convert MPEG file to midi or wav format

Hi,
Can any one help me in converting MPEG music file to midi or wav format.
I am trying to import it to my 3D application to run my animation but have to convert it to midi or wav format.
Can anyone help me please. Audition can do this job ?
Steve

For a start, MIDI isn't a sound format, so you can't possibly convert mpeg to that. All MIDI is is a way of sending note-on, note-off, etc information. It stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface - gives you a bit of a clue, really...
Audition will automatically convert any file it can open to wav (that's how it works), but since you haven't said what sort of mpeg file it is (and this is significant), we can't tell you any more until you do.

Converting .PES files for DVD burn.

I have been extracting .PES files from my personal video recorder.
I want to burn these files to DVD on my Mac (10.4) but I can't figure out how to do this. Quicktime won't let me view these files but I can view them files using VLC player but exporting to a format that my copy of Toast 8 recognizes is proving very tricky. Can anyone suggest a way or any software that will let me convert .pes files to something toast or quicktime will read?
Many thanks,
Julian

I received the email notification of your original post which read (and I taking the liberty of quoting it as it is interesting) and which I assume you edited:
Embroidery no, but I do sometimes think that it may be a more worthwhile skill to learn instead of messing about with my mac. .PES stands for Packetized elementary stream and you can read all about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PacketizedElementaryStream
I have no idea on how to convert those files, but you could try (depending on the file sizes) dragging the files straight to Toast to see if it will burn it to a DVD.

No Sound when converting MPEG file to MOV - Quicktime Pro

Hi Everyone,
Just got my first Mac (MacBook Pro) which I love but I'm having a problems importing MPEG 4 files from my Sony digital camera. They play fine through quicktime in the sony format but when I import into quicktime (or imovie for that matter) then export in a .mov file all the sound is lost.
I see some people have reported problems with sound similar to mine but none appear to be the same?
Any ideas??
Many Thanks

I am having a similar problem and I see this was never persued any further. I am trying to convert an mpeg file to a mov file using quicktime pro. When I do there is no sound.
Movie info for mov file is: Format is H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions, FPS is 15, Data Rate is 256.21 kbits/sec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to quicktime and frustrated from spending hours trying to figure this out! Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend software for converting mpeg files to FCP compatible files?

Currently working with FCP 10.1.3. Would like ability to re-edit / cut and slice mpeg files from other movie editing software (i-movie and studio 15). Would appreciate any recommendations for conversion software that I can download via the app store. Thanks

MMPEG Streamclip. Depends on what kind of MPEG, 1, 2, 4 and whether it's muxed or in VOB files or some other wacky concoction.

Can not convert divx files to dvd

Every time I tried to convert a tv show saved as a Divx file, the application just closes after 10 or 15 minutes of converting (it does starts, but it crashesafter a few minutes and closes no mater what app I use, Quicktime, iDVD, iMovie).
I have already updated the OS, quicktime, Divx Universal.

I am sorry, I believe that I did not explained my self clear. Quick Time and the others iApps does starts the convertion, in fact, I just found that it does convert small files (5 or 10 minutes files, but not a 1 hour file), I do have the third party software that is the Divx codec for intel macs. But the system still not capable of converting a 1 hour divx movie. I already used ffmpegX, but it takes too long and the final render is not compatible with quicktime.

How to convert mkv files into dvd reader compatible format

Hi there! that's my first discussion ever in this community. Hope you can help me and I thank you by now for support.
My question is pretty simple.
How can I convert a full HD .mkv file into something compatible with DVD readers for home use ( mpeg, avi etc.. ), keeping full HD quality ?
Assuming that I'm a beginner in codec, video converting operations and all stuff like that....
1) I'm using OSX 10.8.5 Mountain Lion
2) I tried using VLC 2.1 but result was pretty bad ( blurry video quality and no sound at all... starting from a perfect mkv source )
3) I tried with Divx Plus Converter 10 having error 2
As I will be converting videos rarely I'm looking for a free solution... Any idea ??
Thanks

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
http://www.plexapp.com/
Maybe worth a try?

Itunes Changing Mpeg files to Dvd

Hello, i'm trying burn video that i've downloaded from itunes onto a dvd. The video i've downloaded from itunes is in the mpeg format. What do i need to change the files from mpeg to dvd format to allow me to watch the video with a regular dvd player?

Last question and i will not bother you anymore. What about all of the software on the internet that claims it can change/rip files into any format? Are they a waste of time then?
Thanks again.
