Error dowloading URL to Mpeg Stream Clip

I use MPEG Streamclip to convert files for putting into my Imovies. I tried the File "open URL" and input the url from a youtube and a google video site. Neither one would load and I got a message "error in loading". This is supposed to work fairly easily. Any help or suggestions?
Thanks so much,

Am I missing something non this?
Yes. As QTKirk already stated, you need the URL for the file itself -- not the path to the web site page on which it displays the file. If what you are trying to do is view, download, and convert YouTube content for your computer, iPod, or other device, then buy TubSock (or a similar application) instead of QT Pro which also won't help you. These mini applications will extract the directory and file ID information, download the data, convert it, and store it for you with the mere pressing of a button in the Safari Bookmarks bar.

  • WIDESCREEN VIDEO SQUASHES WHEN I USE MPEG STREAM CLIP

    Most of my video's are wide screen, when i convert them for ipod in mpeg stream clip the video squashes to fit in screen, how do i get round this, i know the iPod is'nt wide screen, but i'd rather have black bars than squashed video, i don't want to use Quicktime Pro because it's too slow, any ideas much appreciated!

    Apologies for post title left caps on

    I'm not sure what program your using but I just set a wide screen resolution when I convert. 320x180, 368x208, 480x270 for example. On the other hand if the movie has the bars in the stream itself then you'll have to crop the movie to get it back to a true widescreen format. You'll know when you play the ripped file if it's true widescreen or not.

  • MPEG Stream Clip Export Settings

    Happy New Year!
    I've been working on a WWII documentary.
    You guys turned me onto a really nifty piece of software which I use occasionally; MPEG Stream Clip
    It's great - just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.
    I assumed it was best to export as a Quick Time File rather than a DV. Why? Because it seems the DV export puts compression on the clip. In 'Options' I also choose Apple DVCPRO-NTSC
    Take a look;

    *just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.*
    If you're working in a DV NTSC timeline then you are doing it right. the Streamclip option for dv creates a dv stream which is not the same thing as a DV NTSC Quicktime Movie.

  • Easy setup FCE 4 and mpeg stream clip

    Hi, i need an help for import my videocamera video. I use samsung MHX H200SP/EDC and i obtain a MP4 PAL 1280x720 50fps clip. I try to use MPEG streamclip to convert in something not to be rendered fo FCE the i import it into FCE.
    Could someone tell me which set up use in MPEG streamclip and in esasy setup for FCE?
    I would like to obtain max quality (doesn't matter space on HD)
    I tried in this way
    MPEG streamclip conversion:
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    100% quality
    1280x720 (16:9, no scaling, HDTV 720p? which one?)
    shoud i choose "interlaced scaling"?
    other way?
    in easy set up for FCE i tried:
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    AVCHD Apple Itermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
    rate 25 fps
    is it right? which one should i use?
    best regards everybody
    Filippo

    The MHX H200SP/EDC saves video as MP4/H.264 files and it appears you used 1280x720p as your setting in the camera.
    In that case, in MPEG Streamclip, convert the clips to:
    QuickTime
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    1280x720 (HDTV 720p)
    UNcheck the option called "Interlaced scaling"  (because you have progressive video)
    In FCE, select the HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25 Easy Setup.   Then create a new Sequence.  Then import your converted clip(s).

  • Mpeg stream clip and 2  audio tracks

    is anyone us ing MPEG STREAMCLIP? I WANT TO EXTRACT 2 AUDIO TRACKS FROM A DVD, there's any possobility to do it?

    Have you tried to use Streamclip. It's a free download. See if it works.
    I don't know what "i have seen avi or dvx files with two audio tracks" means. The DVD should be in MPEG-2.

  • Mpeg stream clip

    is making my files too large. a 1 gig .mpg file is converted to aic (.mov) and ends up being 12 gigs!
    What am I doing wrong?

    In order to suggest what you are doing wrong, we really need to know what you are doing. It may be that you are simply setting too high a datarate, but tell us what settings you are using to begin with. AIC files are considerably larger than MPEG files, you may not actually be doing an awful lot wrong.

  • MPEG Stream Clip questions

    How do you use this converter.......I dropped a mpeg in there but don't see how to convert it. It looks like it basically acts as a player......where are the options to convert and not just play, fast forward and rewind? PC person converting over to the mac world, sorry for the stupid question...
    Jay

    Hi -
    As you found out, just drag the file in, then go the File menu and choose the format you want to export (convert) the file to -

  • How to make a DVD from MPEG-2 clips without re-encoding?

    I have many standard DVDs (in MPEG-2 unfortunately) with unedited video footage. I want to extract the best parts of those DVDs and compile them to a new DVD without re-encoding (no fancy scene transitions needed).
    I have a program called Cinematize 2, that lets me rip the parts I want as "Main Video Stream" (QT), Elementary streams or MPEG2- Program streams. I can save audio and video as one or two separate files. Which ones works best with DVDSP? I would prefer to save as MPEG-2 Program Stream (one file), as these files can also be played back on the computer with the VLC player.
    If I have many different MPEG-2 clips, if I make a DVD with DVDSP, can those clips be played back to back like a movie?
    I would appreciate any advice on how to to this the best way I want to have as many options open to me as possible in the future. In particular, in which state or format I should save the files from the DVDs, so that I am both able to watch them individually with VLC as well as edit them together in FCP or DVDSP.
    Thanks,
    Don

    Don
    You do need to use separate video and audio files, and Streamclip can do it right (I never used Cinematize!).
    And can it work with AC3 as well as WAV and AIFF
    You can use AIFF (uncompressed) audio and/or Dolby AC3. If you can try using AC3 audio in your DVD-R projects because first, it takes less space that AIFF (using AC3 you can fit 120 min of high quality video in a 4.7 disc) and second, because it has a lower bitrate. Using AIFF is a very common cause of formatting errors and playback problems, because highbitrate errors.
    I have yet not used DVDSP, so I'm not familiar with the process.
    You can visit [Drew13's site|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com> for some good tutorials.
    Hope that helps !

  • Error opening URL-local files-mac

    I'm using a var and an Array code on an empty move clip. The code is set on an "Actions" layer. The code checks good. All files are on my desktop.
    When I test movie I get 'Error opening URL 'file:///Andrea/Users/user/Desktop/BosigerWk6/swfs/one.swf'

    I had a problem to test my movies locally in Flash Professional CS5, too. When I turned off the encryption on my Mac, the problem went away.

  • "Error opening URL" when loading JPG to MC

    Hi my name is Dana ,I have this problem with my website that
    I can't seem to solve...I will appreciate any help...thanks :)
    Basicall my site is a gallary to display JPG's
    There is a menu to select the topic and then all the relevant
    JPGs are displayed.
    I'm loading the names of the JPGs from an XML I created.
    Then I duplicate a simple mc that I created called holder_mc
    I have 4 col X 3 rows = total 12 holder_mcS in one page.
    So far so good...but the problem begins when I you go back to
    the main menu and try to upload a new set of JPGs.
    Then an error appears and nothing is displayed:
    http://www.whatever..../reception/0649.JPG"
    Error opening URL
    I tried to remove the movie clips using -
    removeMovieClip(_root["holder_mc"+i])
    but I get the same problem.
    Is someone familiar with this problem?
    If

    The URL was just the massege i was getting...nothing more.
    I found the problem...
    I didn't pop the Array that got the images names from the
    XML...so it was trying to load the wrong JPGs...
    thanks for your help :)
    I have one more question regarding to using mcS as buttons,
    it seems that I have to use it with "onEnterFrame" , otherwise it
    doesn't respond. But then I get an error messege ...*** Security
    Sandbox Violation *** ... ' tried to access incompatible context
    Do you know what is the problem? See my attached code.
