Mpeg-2 Component for Windows

okay, so i bought the mpeg-2 component for windows, so i could use .TS and M2TS files, and it hasn't really done anything, i have installed it, it wont open mpeg-2 in quick time, so does anyone have any solutions?

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.

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.

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.

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.

MPEG-2 component & OS 10.7

is there an MPEG-2 component for Lion?

Doesn't need to be. It just needs to be recognized by and compatible with your version of iMove.
Yes, I'm aware of this. I replied because you mentioned AVCHD, but I misread the “to “muxed MPEG-2” part, my mistake here.
Jon Walker also wrote:
Not sure what you mean by "shortened" here.
When I open my VOB files with thar Codec, QT usually shows the first seconds/minutes of the file (the controller also thinks the video is of that length). If I “go to end” (e.g. by using Option-Right arrow), I sometimes see the real end, but then moving the “time handler” (sorry, english isn't my native language) to the left, it will eventually jumps to the start half (=true relative time from 0, given the controller's total time) past a given place. No matter how, I can't usually see more than a couple of seconds/minutes from the start.
Jon Walker followed and wrote:
However, as to never having any audio track, what compressed data is contained in the VOB file? As noted above, AC3 audio is not natively compatible with QT 7 Pro and, since most VOB files contain MPE-3 video multiplexed with AC3 audio, there is little wonder at not being able to play the audio.
Mine seem to be A52 encoded-audio, which turns out to be some kind of AC3. I'll try this codec: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec
(AC3 isn't recognized, but perhaps its subtypes can).
Jon Walker lastly wrote:
Either demux the VOB to an MPEG file containing MPEG-2 video multiplexed with MPEG-1 layered audio or demux the VOB to paired M2V and AIFF files. Both options preserve the original video quality but have QT 7 compatible audio. (I prefer the paired elementary stream files as they can also be edited at the frame level in QT 7 Pro (but not iMovie) and do not have the 4 GB file length restriction of the MPEG file container.
In any event, that is why I specifically mentioned the use of MPEG Streamclip above. It can handle the "muxed" AC3 audio which QT 7 natively does not handle and, together with the QT MPEG-2 Playback component, acts as a bridge to make the VOB content fully compatible with QT 7 Pro playback and/or editing without actually re-transcoding the video and thus, preserves its original quality. Plus, if the VOB title set contains multiple files, the data can be merged as part of the demuxing/repackaging process by MPEG Streamclip.
All good advices, thank you!

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.

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.

Try running the cleanup utility again. There are like 3 levels of cleaining if I remember right.
Also after running the cleanup utility run this if you didn't before:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then download and install this free cleaner. It will clean up all remaining crapola left on your computer. Run the drive cleaner and also the registry cleaner.
http://www.ccleaner.com/
After that you did not say what OS you have. If you have Vista SP2 or Windows 7 you do not need this next download. If you do need this download it is a newer windows installer 4.5 that takes care of some install problems with software. download if need be and install.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f 9f4&displaylang=en
If you have Adobe reader installed remove it.
After you get the computer cleaned out do a defrag.
Go to Start and type in services and click on services. What you want to do is look for windows install entry, look at the startup type, right click on manual, choose properties, change manual to Start, hit apply, then start the service (look for the start button), hit apply if need be, then hit ok to close out, then close the services window.
Now go start and type in msconfig and click on msconfig. Go to the startup tab and look for any Adone product that is checked and uncheck it. If nothing is unchanged then there is no need to reboot.
Ensure any anti-virus is off and windows defender is turned off.
Get your disk and insert it but don't install. Go to computer and right click on it. Choose explore and then look for the PS .exe file. you want to right click on this and choose run as admin.
Then the install screen will pop up. I am not sure when it will ask for the key so have it ready. If the key is good then it will let you know.
When ready to install you want to do a custom install. Install only on C drive. In the install options only install PS CS3 and Bridge. Then install. I don't know how long it will take.
After install reboot the computer. After reboot click on CS3 to least start it up. Shut it back down and do another defrag. Now update your software to 10.0.1. After the download is complete ensure CS3 and bridge are shut down otherwise the software will not update. After that, it is up to you, but I would reboot and do another defrag (Some other posters might think differently: too bad....lol).

MPEG 2 component issues for Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I'm using Quicktime Pro 6.5.3 on the below computer. Since I upgraded to OSX 3.9, my MPEG 2 player component won't work. Apple recommended I just download the component again. I did so, but when I tried to install it, my computer couldn't do so (probably because this latest MPEG2 component is for Quicktime 7).
Then, I remembered that I still had the MPEG2 player component installer for Quicktime 6 from years ago when I upgraded to 10.2.8. I just tried to install it and now I can't because I get a message that there is a newer version of the component already installed on the computer! So apparently the new MPEG2 component for Quicktime 7 DID install somewhat because it is now blocking me from using one that's more compatible with Quicktime 6. However I can't use this version 7 MPEG2 player cuz it isn't FULLY installed.
Anybody have any idea how to get around this? Is there a way to totally uninstall the Quicktime 7 MPEG2 player so I can try to reinstall the Quicktime 6 MPEG2 player?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I know I am using old versions of everything, but they work just fine for my purposes, and I don't want to upgrade all my multi-media software.
Best Wishes
T

<font color="blue"Anybody have any idea how to get around this?</font>
Did you try deleting the receipt file for the "latest" installation and then running the "older" installer?
Is there a way to totally uninstall the Quicktime 7 MPEG2 player so I can try to reinstall the Quicktime 6 MPEG2 player?
A clean system install would do it but most people don't want to go to the trouble of saving all active projects/documents and re-installing all of the non-system applications and/or utilities.

Many folks using Mavericks have bought the playback component from Apple so don't know why you are unable. You don't install it just follow the instructions on Squared5 site. Are you saying that the download will not commence? Did you try this link http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x

QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X

Hello my friends
I would like to know if I can install my "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" in Leopard ?
I bought this component when I was in Tiger and I wouldn't make any mistake in installing it within Leopard which is working like a charm.
Thanks
Max

Hello Smokerz
I've checked within my Apple Store Acount and the download link is still pointing to the same version as the one I bought... Maybe I shall wait until a new version is available.
Thank you
