Mpeg-2 component for QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows

Can somebody please tell me what is exactly the benefit of adding this component ? As I can see, a lot of negative things have been said in this forum. I just don't want to buy something not worth buying. But if it is, I will do.

It also allows transcoding of MPEG-2 content when used with software like the free MPEG Streamclip app.
Many new camcorders now record directly to DVD using the MPEG-2 format. If you need to get these "home movies" into a DV editing app like iMovie or Final Cut or even Windows Movie Maker you'll need the component to convert the DVD contents back in the DV Stream format.

  • 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.

  • Fix for Quicktime Pro crashes on Windows XP 64bit

    This is for anyone experiencing crashing with Quicktime Pro when exporting, crashing with HD quicktimes in Firefox and problems with Sorenson Squeeze related to Quicktime files.
    You CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

    Do you have an nVidia GeForce 8x00 video card?
    If so, this appears to be more of an issue w/ nVidia's XP drivers (32-bit OR 64-bit) and you should report it to nVidia too, as they have yet to acknowledge any issues even though MANY people have this problem.
    Vista works fine, though, actually!

  • 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
    Wes
    Ps Running all the latest updates..
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    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!

  • MPEG 2 Playback in Quicktime Pro?

    Hello,
    I am cinsidering upgrading to Quicktime Pro. Is the MPEG 2 playback component included in Quicktime Pro or do I need buy it separately?
    Thank you.
    Pavel.

    The MPEG-2 Playback Component is a separate purchase.
    Please read the FAQ's on the download or information page.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    It's not the "magic" many users expect. It follows most of Apple's approach to piracy and copyright protection.

  • Question about Quicktime Pro/Codec on Windows

    Does anyone know if Quicktime Pro for windows installs a usable H.264 codec? I'd like to be able to encode directly to the codec via a 3rd party application instead of using Quicktime for encoding. If all the encoding is within Quicktime Pro, then I'm guess this won't work?
    Anyone know if this is possible?

    I'm not sure what you mean by a "usable" codec. If by that you mean you want the third-party application to be able to encode to H.264, that depends entirely on the third-party app. If it can use QuickTime codecs, then the codec should be usable without needing a Pro key (which just unlocks the editing and export capabilities of QT Player; the free version of QuickTime already has all the codecs Apple provides for Windows). If the third-party app doesn't use the QT codecs, then buying a Pro key will not make it do so.

  • QuickTime Pro v7.6 Windows installed But Features Not Enabled.

    I have the Windows version of QuickTime installed.
    I have upgraded to Pro (e.g. the Control Panel says "QuickTime 7 Pro")
    Some Pro features are still still greyed out, example: copy/paste. Even if I "select" a movie segment, or "select all", "copy" is not enabled.

    I see this is an older post but I am having this same problem. I WAS trying to edit an MPEG. However, I saved it as a Quicktime movie, closed everything and reopened. I am still having the same problem. It can play the selected area, and I know I have Pro installed because I can rotate the video, etc., but copy, cut and paste are still greyed out.
    Thanks!

  • Stuttering Playback With MPEG-2 Component

    I recently installed the Quicktime MPEG-2 component for Windows. I'm trying to play muxed MPEG-2 files that are encoded at 6MB/s (DVD quality). The video stutters at the beginning of the clip and also if I pause and then resume playing. The same file plays smoothly in Quicktime on a Mac with the MPEG-2 Component. The PC I'm using has 1GB of Ram, an excellent video card and processor, so it's not a speed issue. The MPEG-2 file will play fine in Windows Media on the PC, but I need to use Quicktime.

    I'm in the same boat, except i'm not getting any audio with my stuttering-at-the-beginning video. my mpeg2 in question works with all my other media players (and on DVD), but i need to make it work with quicktime 7 so that i can utilize the mp4 converter. sorry i've got no solution to this problem.

  • Quicktime Pro Export Issue (No Audio Track)

    Hello,
    After I purchased and installed the MPEG-2 component into Quicktime Pro 7, all of a sudden when I export from one video file format (.MP4) into another (.MOV), there is no audio track exported into the .mov created.
    I should add that I installed the MPEG-2 component to view a TIVO-to-go recording that I had been able to strip out of the .tivo shell. Once I played the .mpg file though, no audio track played either. Thoughts? Is there a way to uninstall the MPEG-2 component from Quicktime Pro?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
    No audio export.
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to export with audio.

  • Can anyone help? I have downloaded and installed the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component but it doesn't work.

    I purchased the QuickTime MPEG-2 component for Quicktime as I am using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to be able to via MPEG-2 transport streams.
    I paid £14.00 - everything downloaded and installed fine but it doesn't work and I am still unable to view the transport streams in Quicktime even though according to the website this is want the component will let me do.
    I have rebooted several times, reinstalled both Quicktime and the MPEG-2 component and still nothing.  I have then spent ages going around and around in circles on the website trying to find a way of emailing customer services or technical support to get some assistance but I just always end back in the same place no further forward.
    Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!

    1) Suggest you reread the "Feature" details for the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component paying particular attention to the paragraph titled "Can transport streams be played?" which clearly states that this codec does NOT support the playback of transport stream (TS) files.
    2) This codec can only be used with "classic" QT apps such as the QT 7 player, GarageBand, or third-party apps like the free MPEG Streamclip app.
    3) The VLC player intrinsically supports TS files. MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed supports TS file playback.
    4) MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed can also resave muxed TS file content as muxed program stream (PS) content which is then "playback" compatible with both QT 7 and QT X players (assuming you select an audio compression format compatible with both) or convert the muxed TS content to QT "edit" compatible compression formats if desired.
    Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!
    Apple seldom makes refunds to people who successfully purchase software which they do not really understand how to use—cavaet emptor. It is difficult to make suggestions here without knowing more about your personal preferences and/or work flow requirements. I personally would keep the codec to enhance various playback, conversion, and editing options on my Mac.

  • I can't install Quicktime MPEG-2 Component in OS X Lion

    Hi friends,
    Today, I tryed install Quicktime MPEG-2 Component for use with software 'MPEG Streamclip'. I have a Macbook reformated and with OS X Lion.
    But the system alert me: This component can't install in this system, it's for older operative system.
    What's I can do?
    I have a iMac, with OS X Lion too, but it's not fomated. Before it was installed MPEG-2 Component, and I can use software perfectly.
    For example, Can I transfer codec MPEG-2 from iMac to Macbook? Where's installed codec in my iMac?
    Thanks very much... and I'm sorry for my english...

    You can do in the System Preferences pane, but there is another way: position the mouse pointer on the dividing line between files and applications and drag up or down.

  • MPEG-2 component issues

    I purchased and installed QT MPEG-2 component into QT Pro 7.2. Some MPEG-2 videos play, some won't open at all ("The movie could not be opened. This file is not a movie file."), and some give audio only.
    I note that on the QT MPEG-2 page
    <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/>
    the description says that only files with audio layers I and II are supported (see footnotes), but the ones I'm trying to view are of these types (VideoHub has a great "Info" window to help identify video formats).
    As a test I downloaded these MPEG-2 files and tried to open them in QT:
    <http://www.techex.co.uk/vbdown.asp>
    (scroll down to "MPEG-2 samples"). Some will open and some won't. These play fine in VLC, but since my goal is to edit my MPEG-2 videos, this isn't a solution for me.
    If only certain types of MPEG-2 (eg, only certain bit rates) are supported by Apple's MPEG-2 component, what are these limitations?
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks

    QT MPEG-2 Component 1.0 (v211)

    So I guess the $20 I spent for the MPEG-2 component was wasted. It doesn't allow, reliably, playing of MPEG-2 videos in QT Player. Some do play, but not knowing which will and which won't, doesn't encourage its use for -2 videos.
    I didn't know that even if the MPEG-2 component would enable a video to be played that I wouldn't be able to edit in QT P. Quite a failure all around.
    A word to the wise: save your bux and download MPEG Streamclip:

  • Before I Buy the MPEG-2 Component

    Hi,
    Before I buy the MPEG-2 Component for Quicktime, I want to make sure it is the right thing to do. I'd hate to make a purchase and not have it solve my problem.
    Here's my specs:
    QuickTime Player 7.5.0
    Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Mac iBook 466 MHz PowerPC G3 - A Graphite Clamshell (vintage and I love it!)
    576 MB SDRAM
    Sony DCR-SX40 4GB Handycam Camcorder
    It is my understanding that if I download:
    MPEG-2 Component (a purchase)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html
    MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 (free)
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    Then I should be able to watch and edit videos from my new Handycam in QuickTime.
    Is this correct?
    Or is there something else that I need to be doing?
    Thank you!

    Here's the page you may be referring to: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A
    It lists the specs which are way beyond my computer.
    Recommended System Requirements:
    * QuickTime 7.6 or later (Pro not required)
    * PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster) or Intel processor
    * At least 256MB of RAM
    * Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
    I read all of the reviews and there were folks who had the same specs I do that it works for, but the date of their reviews were from a few years ago, so they must have had a previous version of the Component.
    It also mentions underneath the system specs about OS 9 and using OS 9's Component, though it doesn't provide a link.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get an older version of the Component? One that will match my specs.
    QuickTime Player 7.5.0
    Mac iBook 466 MHz PowerPC G3 - A Graphite Clamshell (vintage and I love it!)
    576 MB SDRAM

    Thanks!
