Find QuicktimeMPEG2 playback component on Install DVD

I am trying to use MPEG Streamclip with FCS3. I would like to install the Quicktime MPEG-2 playback component. I followed the instructions on the Streamclip website to open my FCS 3 install DVD but I am unable to locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file using the Go command to find the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD.
If I do find this component, where to I install it to use Streamclip?
Thanks for your help.

I found the answer to my question.
The MPEG Streamclip website instructions are for FCS 2. They do not work for the newest version of FCS. You must put in your FCS 2 install disk to reinstall the Quicktime component.

  • I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd..what can I do?

    I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd to reset it, what can I do?

    OK, try this:

    Be very very careful if you decide to use Terminal. Even a small typing error can cause a disaster. And terminal commands must be typed exactly as shown, including spaces.
    Good luck.
    p.s. Your Apple ID and password - different from the computer log in password - are what you used to get to this discussion.

  • Playback component to change dvd to dv.....

    i recently purchased the pmeg2....installed it....but cant find it on my computer....has this happened to anyone else.......help........also when down loaded ,i got to options between types of quicktime....which do i use...i have updated version but not pro......

    the mpeg2 playback component is well hidden in the innerts of your Mac's system/Quicktime architecture ...
    it is no application...
    after installing the component and relaunching your Mac, you need a 3rd party app, as the free (click here) Streamclip for demuxxing DVDs ...
    open your DVD with THAT app, the mp2 component now allows SC to convert DVD into any wanted format, codec, whatever...
    illustrated How-To on my site here:

    (the recommended Export settings on my site are for iMovie... change to your format...)
    be nice to copy rights ...

  • Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?

    I am installing a new iMac with Snow Leopard.
    Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?
    (btw, I have already done the optional install of QT7 from the SN DVD).

    Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?
    I cannot get "muxed" MPEG2 content (e.g., VOB) file to load in QT X but both QT 7 Pro (with usual audio limitations) and MPEG Streamclip still function normally under Snow Leopard. (Since I don't normally use QT X, I had to actually run a quick test to see what would happen and haven't really performed any real tests. So take my comments with a grain of salt at this time.)

  • I have Windows 8.1 and just bought the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for windows and it won't install. I currently have Quicktime Pro.

    I need to run Quicktime Pro and playback DVD with mpeg-2 content for school. I just downloaded Quicktime Pro, and purchased the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for Windows, but I can't download it at all. Is this because my PC is running Windows 8.1?
    If so, is there anything I can do?

    What do I do?
    You actually have several options. However, since you specifically want to use it it with MPEG Streamclip, the easiest approach would be to download the MPEG Streamclip "Beta" package for the Mac which includes a utility app that will help install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component on Lion and later operating systems. Instructions and background info can be found HERE under the "Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component" tab.

    p.s i have no experience in apple imac's at all never used before, but im kinda windows nerd so computers i understand but this imac make my insane, cant seem to find any solutions anywhere on the WWW....

    Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

  • Can't find Boot Camp on my leopard install DVD

    I upgraded to leopard when it came out. I have the leopard DVD install disc. I can not find Boot Camp to install it. I also can not find the boot camp install assistant on my computer or on the disk. Please help, I need to install xp badly and ASAP! Thanks

    So the DVD you inserted is the iMac install Disc 1? When I type in the "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/" nothing happens.... I see you are using an earlier OS 10.4.
    As you can see I using 10.5.2 on my new iMac
    Can you help

  • Lost my Font Book 2.1 app - can I download or find on install DVD?

    Hi,
    Due to an upgrade accident, I lost my Leopard Font Book (2.1) app. I've tried to find a new copy via download or on the Leopard install DVD, to no avail. Is it available anywhere?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to extract it from your install disk using Pacifist. Once that's in place, run the COMBO updater to ensure you have the latest version.

  • Where do I find the Time Machine System restore app on the install DVD?

    I want to do a full system restore and I was wondering if I can run the program directly from the DVD instead of booting into the DVD. Both the targeted machine (a non-DVD target-disk connected computer over FireWire) and the backup disk (external HD) are not the startup-volume off the computer I want to do the restore with. So can I use that application directly and where to find it (weird thing, all the other helper-apps from the install DVD are in the hidden folder Applications, but not this one)?

    You can restore from the original disc that came with your MBP as they are machine specific.  If you want to restore your OSX with the same disc that came with hold C power on and push in the disc.   10.6 users - clean and polish the bottom of the 10.6 disk (no other) with a soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol.   • Insert the disk and Hold c or option/alt key down and then boot the computer from the 10.6 installer disk.   • Second screen, select your boot drive and simply install OS X again.   • When you get into the machine, immediately Software Update (#10), reboot and repeat until clear. Important!   Force eject a stuck disk - hold the trackpad or left wired mouse button down while booting, the hardware should force eject the disk, or use Startup Manager #3 and select the disk and then use the eject key on the keyboard.  Then run all the software updates, there will be plenty. Be sure to back up first. If you are trying to do a remote install on a machine that came with a different disc, there more than likely be issues.  You could do it with the Snow leopard retail disc, harder to find these days and becoming quite expennsive.   ATB

  • Mac Mini Tiger: halfway thru install dvd for snow leopard, install stops due to needing Leopard first. Unable to find command to exit installation, I force ejected dvd, now computer shuts down thirty seconds into powering up.

    No combination of keys held down while powering up, nor unplugging from power source, will give me a screen, or utilities, or rebuild; the machine just shuts off thirty seconds after starting to power up.

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    Then try booting from install DVD.
    It sounds like the SN DVD was an upgrade-only disk. Those only upgrade from Leopard,

  • Apple QT MPEG2 Playback Component conflict w/Mavericks

    I am running OX 10.9.1, Mavericks. and wnat to transfer my VOB files from DVD into iMovie for editing. Per the instructions in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3951 ), I installed MPEG StreamClip. I also purchased the Apple QT MPEG2 PB component - oops! - BC the Apple store says I actually don't need it if I'm running Lion or later. Per the Streamclip site (squared5.com) ,even though Apple says the QT PB tool is not needed, Streamclip still needs it. Fine, whatever. With Streamclip installed, I attempted to install the QT MPEG2 PB tool, but I got this error code: "QuickTime MPEG2 can't be installed on this disk. This software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OSX." For fun, I tried transferring my VOB files from DVD into streamclip, but that yielded another error that teh tranfer would not be complete, adn owuld be missing elements. That's true - the files I transfered to streamclip are now audi only.
    So it appears that I need the Apple QT MPEG2 PB tool, but it's not available for Mavericks. Or am I missing something else? If streamclip won't work on MAvericks , is there an alternative QT MPEG2 PB component? Or, can you please show me another way to get my VOB files from DVD into iMovie?
    Thank you very much, and I appreciate your time.

    I found this info frm samberl in australia (in this discussion thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/17333072#17333072), and it enabled me to install the QT MPEG2 playback component. Although all the instructions are directed toward Lion users, apparently it also applies to Mavericks.
    "You need to delve deeper into MPEG Streamclip, Lion and Quicktime MPEG2 playback.
    From the MPEG Streaclip website.
    "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."

  • Help with MPEG-2 Playback Component

    I have Lion, system 10.7.2.
    I'm trying to import my VOB files into MPEG Streamclip, but it says I need to install MPEG 2 Playback Component.  However, on Lion, it is built in and supposedly unnecessary to buy.
    What to do?

    According to the MPEG Streamclip website, you still need it.
    Here is what they say...

  • QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component

    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?
    (P.S. hating that I converting anything to mac is so bloody complicated)

    This particular aspect is a bit complicated!
    As you can read on this page:  http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    On OS X Lion and later, MPEG-2 playback functionality is built into QuickTime X. The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is not required and cannot be installed.
    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 onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:

  • Solution to missing MPEG2 Playback component FOUND!

    This solution is for those that have purchased Final Cut Studio HD, and then found the MPEG2 playback component mysteriously missing.
    Well, from digging and digging around I found my answer. Check for the existence of /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeMPEG2.component by using command + F (find function). If you find this file, and it's not properly placed in the /System/Library/QuickTime/ folder....then there is the problem. Simply copy and paste that file into the directory mentioned above..
    I give credit for the idea to Apple Forums user Dave Jablinsky. Thanks a million!

    Please mark this post and the other one you posted on the same subject as solved.
