HT204382 MPEG-2 CODEC query

What if my Mac is an Mac OS 10.7.2 - will the MPEG 2 Codec work in this. Also, once the MPEG 2 is played back can it be uploaded into iMovie on the mac? thanks

Thanks guys. I have resolved the issue. Seems that the codec needed was an updated version (6.4) of the original (6.3) that worked with QT6.5 as QuickTimeKirk suggested. What I discovered from a QT FAQ was that it could be automaticaaly updated by going back through the user account where it was originally purchased from on the Apple website and hitting the download button again - this downloaded the newer version.
Cheers

Have qt mpeg-2 codec but suddenly neither QT player, nor VLC will play eyetv mpeg-2 files.

A while back, I got an eyetv 200, which I use regularly. I ended up buying QT mpeg-2 codec and installing it...and ever since, I could play mpeg-2 files in either QT player, VLC or mpeg streamclip. Suddenly, however, QT player tells me that "This file is not a movie" and VLC comes up with a garbled vid file. Mpeg Streamclip does play it, however, as does eyetv. I have tried reinstalling QT and getting the newest version of the codec via my apple acct download, have reinstalled perian as well....but nothing seems to fix this issue. I don't know if anything is corrupt. I have run permissions repairs, and it's not long since I repaired the disk as well. My system is as up to date as a G5 imac can be on Leopard...and I've got plenty of ram! 1.5 GB... Any suggestions on what the problem could be? Could it be a recent update of something on mac OS that is interfering? Are there any pref files I should trash?
One side note, about the same time, my firefox started asking for a new version of Java which does not exist for my mac. I was trying to use speedtest.charter.net, and it had been working, but suddenly required an unsupported JAVA....it did work in Safari, however. Don't know if these issues could all be related somehow.

just discovered that .ts files are also no longer playing in neither QT Player nor VLC. would really prefer not to have to reinstall my entire system!

H.263 and MPEG-4 codec

Hi All,
I badly require java source codes for H.263 and MPEG-4 codec. If anybody can help me to find these, I greatly appreciate. Even some help to develop one by my own would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
Eranga

I figured out how to do it and am now done at least with Intel's h263. Intel's lives in an avi format so it wasn't so tough to deal with.
Now I'm working with HotMedia...

Missing MPEG-2 Codec even after installing 6.0.1 update Mac

When I installed CS6, the Mpeg-2 codec was never installed in Media Encoder. I found a note on the web to install the 6.0.1 update for AME, but even after doing that, there still is no MPEG-2 codecs available.
Any of the presets that encode for DVD will fail with an error.
Is there a fix?

What CS6 suite did you install? Certain suites and products install a limited list of export formats for AME, for example Flash Pro or the Design & Web suite. If you have Premiere CS6 you should have a full list of exporters tho', including MPEG-2. If that's the case, make sure you also update Premiere to 6.0.1.
If uninstalling and reinstalling CS6 doesn't work, you may want to check if there are any pre-release versions of Adobe products on your system and uninstall those, and also try running these cleaning scripts.
BTW, other users have reported problems with missing exporters, here one thread with a workaround that has helped...

Convert and Edit .mod files Without Using MPEG-2 Codec Download?

I transferred some files from a PC to my Mac that were shot on a Panasonic camcorder and are .mod and .moi files. I've searched for solutions and I've only come up with MPEG streamclip along with paying $20 for the MPEG-2 codec download. Is there anyway around doing this? I do not have access to the PC nor do I have access to the computer, so I need to convert them from my HD

Spend the $20 and use Streamclip.
It has a "batch" feature which can convert your files while you sleep.

How to install QT MPEG-2 codec?

I'm on a PowerBook 1.67, 10.4.6, QT Player v. 7.1. Bought the QT MPEG-2 codec from Apple Store online. Selected folder "For QT 6.4 and later and Intel Macs" ... double-clicked on "QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg" to install and apparently nothing happens.
I am trying to use mpeg streamclip to extract some footage from a home DVD and export for iMovie use. When I attempt to open a .vob file in Streamclip, it tells me that this MPEG-2 codec is not installed.
For double confirmation, I looked in HD/Library/QuickTime and didn't see any corresponding "MPEG-2" files. I STF but didn't see anything other than what I've mentioned above. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

Looked in Sys->Library->QT, there was nothing with MPEG-2. There are items for MPEG AND MPEG4, yes, but nothing with MPEG2...wouldn't it say MPEG-2 if it installed correctly?
It was $20 from Apple Store; yes, I'ver restarted a few times.
Help. Please. Thanks.

Problems With MPEG-2 Codec

I've been having problems with Apple's MPEG-2 codec for Quicktime.
All my 640x480 movies are labeled as 720x480, and when I convert them to .mp4 with VisualHub (third party software) it stretches them to 720x480. It didn't do this before I got the codec.
Is there any way to fix this?
Alternatively, how do I uninstall the codec?
Thanks.

I am using the Sony HVR-Z1U camera. I have firewire connection on the camera that I have connected a Sony HVR-MRC1K memory recording unit to. The tape in camera starts the recording then the digital recording kicks on. I have to always have a tape in camera to start recording onto firewire connect digital hard drive recorder. As I mentioned in my previous post, the HVR-MRC1K records to a 32 gb compact flash high speed card and saves files as M2T files (MPEG2) I covert/transcode the files using Clip Wrap software to Quicktime .MOV files. I am them able to import them into FCP X and or iMovie. Once in FCP X the files play, but will skip or drop frames. Again there is no issue on my other mac using FCP 7. I don't even have to transcode files in Clip Wrap. They import automatically using a connected USB drive and Compact Flash Card. I really would like to use FCP X and move forward and not have to take a step backward using only FCP 7. I am in Fort Myers Florida. There is an Apple store nearby in Estero, Florida and one a little further in Naples Florida. I have only gone to the Estero Florida store. The Naples store had FCP classes only twice a week and the Estero store had none.

Here is a free mpeg-2 codec

A question that seem to pop up here all the time, I found a free mpeg-2 codec (well, a 'dec' anyway)
http://www.softpedia.com/public/scripts/downloadhero/11-2-2-40/
Its probably not great performance (I haven't really tested it yet), but its free.
Steve

Are you sure that this codec is for JMF? I don't think so! This might help Player objects to decode MPEG-2(pritty bad I can say) but this was naver a problem to the JMF community cause Player objects can use almost every MPEG-2 decoder there is. The problem is with Processors which are being for more things than just pressenting a video. And for processors there is no free MPEG-2 decoder.

Another Mpeg 4 H264 query

Hello,
Christmas greetings to one and all. I have a format problem with a sanyo xacti camera that Santa brought for my son. It is recording in 1920x1080 at 60i, and we are having difficulty in getting them into FCE. Obviously I am in Pal land, and have read on the forum about mpeg streamclip which we have downloaded.We have tried to convert the file in streamclip to Apple intermediate codec at the settings of 1920 x1080 but at 50 i so that it would hopefully fit in with another sequence I have shot on my sony fx1. However, when we import it into FCE, it is arriving with a red render bar over the top of it. It seems that we are doing something incorrectly, so the question is can anyone give us some advice,
Thanks and best regards.
Dave

sorry to keep coming back to this one, but I just cannot get it to go into FCE without needing rendering. The clip plays back in the viewer, but has the dreaded red bar when it's popped onto the timeline.
The clip properties on the timeline are as follows, size 1920 x 1080 rate 29.97 (which was the setting in streamclip), compressor AIC, (again this was set in streamclip), pixel aspect square (could this be the problem?) data rate 9.8 mb/s , fileld dominance upper. In addition I have set the prefernces in streamclip to sample the audio at 48 Khz.
i have used easy setup to set up both an AIC and HD timeline with all frame rates. I'm completely at a loss with this now, so any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Dave

Quicktime .mov files with MPEG-2 codec playback error

I have a series of .mov files, and I'm not able to open them in QT X or QT 7.6.6. The codecs listed in the Info for the files are: MPEG-2, Linear PCM, and Timecode. Original format is MPEG HD, at 1920x1080. Does anyone know how I can play them back? I don't have final cut editing software on my computer unfortunately and VLC opens the files so I can view the pictures, but they have no sound. Help!

Have a read through this thread, it might help.
At least your $20 may not be wasted.

MPEG 2 codec missing from AME 5

I am missing several codecs from AME (MPEG-2 being the most significant for my current needs). I found in the forums that this was somewhat common for CS6 users who downloaded from Cloud, but I haven't seen it as an issue with CS5 users. The software is completely up to date. Is there a place the codec may be hiding? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sounds like the Master Collection suite. If it's licensed you should have a full list of exporters. You can also double-check what suite is installed by doing the following:
Windows: open the Start > All Programs menu
Mac: go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/
Here's a similar thread about missing QuickTime exporters. This is what worked for one user:
For those who might have the same problem on windows 7, I finally made it working by replacing all the AME files (Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder CS6) with the ones from another installation on another PC. Then instead of uninstalling and reinstalling AME, i just reinstalled it over the previous installation (with AE) and it finally works! All the export options are now available! I should have tried this before a system restore...
It's kind of a hack but apparent it worked for them... Also check out my earlier comment on the same thread about deleting preference files, that may work as well.

Quicktime pro MPEG - 2 codec

I recently bought PRO and the Mpeg codec too. PRO works great, but I can't get MPEG to play still. IT is also giving me an error when I try to update, I believe this is the way to get the MPEG installed.
Are there any ways around this??

I presume that you're referring to Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component, yes? When exactly is this error appearing, and what does it say?

HT204382 MPEG- 2 functionality in Lion?

If MPEG-2 functionality is built in to OS Lion or later and I have OS Lion 10.7.5,
why is it saying Quicktime needs codec and won't play a .mpg file?

Just use VLC, I've quit monkeying around with Quicktimes nuances long ago.

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

MPEG-2 codecs missing from Adobe Media Encoder CS6 installed with Creative Cloud Membership

Some people who have downloaded Adobe Media Encoder with Premiere Pro CS6 as part of a Creative Cloud Membership subscription have a problem in which the MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-Blu-ray, Dolby Digital, & MXF OP1a codecs are missing.
To fix this issue, install the Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.1) update. Choose Help > Updates to install the update.

It's true. We reached the conclusion that the version CS6 is inferior, a step back, than 5 or 5.5. What's good about it, is the Audution CS6, which is a great replacement for the flawed Audition CS5 accompanying Suite 5.5. You can almost forget the Soundbooth ... Soundbooth ... hmmm, better not comment, but anyway, the most polite thing that i can say it, is that it is a demonstration of how a company decides that its users are not able to think and not able to learn or understants anything. Anything else that i want to say about Soundbooth can not be written here ....
Adobe has demonstrates this development cicle along all this years. The products takes an uphill curve of development, and suddenly, goes back, showing wrong decisions was taken. So after some time , the products starts to evolve again . CS6 shows this stop evolving point. Now we have to wait untill new uphill curve of development starts again.
Well, but like their predecessors AA CS6 still not are good enough to dispense Audition 3, but it is a good outcome for the Suite CS5.5 Audition at least was a sign of improvement in this Creative Suite CS6
Many of the features and effects that have been deliberately taken out of version 5, now returned in 6, (some) showing that at Adobe at least recognizes when misses badly. But the optimal effects panel of AA3 did not return, some effects of AA3 as fade in and fade out did not come back in AA 6, the optimum VST support of AA3 to not are present in AA6 like many VST we have here that was expensive, you do not work in 6, thus, by these and other reasons we can still not dispense AA3.
Maybe in CS7 we users cam be satisfied.
