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.

It's not the "magic" many users expect. It follows most of Apple's approach to piracy and copyright protection.

  • 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

    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 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.

  • New Macbook Pro, no MPEG-2 playback?

    My new Intel MacBook is running 10.4.1. I transferred information from my old Mac (which was a G5 running 10.3.9). My Quicktime Pro didn't seem to work correctly, so I reinstalled it and put in my Quicktime Pro 7 key. Everything seems fine -- it appears to be unlocked, etc.
    I had the MPEG-2 playback component on my old Mac because I own DVD Studio Pro (v2). When I tried to open an MPEG-2 file in Quicktime Pro 7.3, it first said it couldn't open it (not a valid file). Tried reinstalling DVDSP complete with MPEG2 to see if it would work. Still no. Thinking that perhaps I needed a newer version of the playback component for QTP 7.3, I bit the bullet and paid the $20 for the latest MPEG-2 component. Downloaded and installed.
    QTPro seems to work fine, but now when I try to open an MPEG-2 file that I am sure is compliant (It worked fine on my old QTPro), I get no video at all. The file opens (no error message) but is just an audio file.
    MPEG Streamclip does now appear to recognize MPEG-2, as if the playback component is working, so I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    So MPEG Streamclip is OK while QT Player shows only black video?
    What does MPEG Streamclip's Get Info say about the video codec? Is it MPEG1? If yes, then that is your problem: QT Player can't play MPEG1 video inside a VOB. The fix is to de-re-interlace with MPEG Streamclip.

  • 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

    No audio export.
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to export with audio.

  • Latest quicktime version 7.1 with Pro/MPEG-2 Playback.

    I just realized that the latest Quicktime version is 7.1 and noticed that the version I have is 7.0.4. My concern is that I also have Quicktime Pro 7.0 and the MPEG-2 Playback and wanted to know if I download the new version 7.1 of Quicktime how that would affect the Quicktime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback?

    Version 7.1 addressing some security concerns and should be installed.
    The Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component is a lifetime purchase and if newer versions are released you don't have to buy again.
    Your QuickTime 7 Pro will not be changed because of the update. Your registration will remain valid until you install version 8 (whenever it comes out).

  • NO AUDIO with QuickTime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback

    I just purchased Sony Camcorder (Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom) and recorded some movies. But when I tried to view it through my iMac (Version 10.4.11) the MPG format files wouldn't played.
    So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
    Anybody knows the answer?. Please help -- Thanks much!

    So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
    All DVD camcorders I've seen use AC3 for audio. As QT Kirk pointed out, this audio format is not supported natively by QT which is why you need the latest Perian or the A52 codec installed.
    The camcorder comes with 3" DVD+RW. Since my computer is iMac with CD/DVD drive slot on the side, I can't play the 3" DVD. The drive only play the regular 6" CD/DVD...
    I believe Rick was trying to find out if you can connect the camcorder via the USB cable (closing iMovie '08 if it opens) and access the movies at the file level directly from the camcorder. If you can see the files on the camcorder, then they can be copied to your hard drive and/or opened in MPEG Streamclip for viewing/conversion to iMovie '08 "edit" compatible file formats. The free MPEG Streamclip application, together with the $20 MPEG-2 Playback component which you have already purchased, will allow you to convert your video files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with DV, AIFF (Big/Little Endian), Uncompresses, AAC, etc. compatible audio. DO NOT CONVERT TO APPLE ANIMATION OR APPLE VIDEO COMPRESSION FORMATS as they will import and edit but not export properly from iMovie '08. DO NOT USE QT PRO (or any other QT application) TO CONVERT YOUR FILES as this work flow will not retain the original audio content. (I.e., your original QT Pro conversion attempt may have lost the original audio content and, if so, no added component will now allow you to hear the non-existent audio.)

  • 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.

  • Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

    What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
    If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
    So much for productivity.

    Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
    Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

  • Quicktime Pro 7 Error:  -2048  |  Want to convert mpeg-2 to .mov

    Just purchased QTPro because I want to convert mpeg-2 (rtv) files to .mov... However, when I attempt to open an mpeg-2 file in QT - I get an error message stating it's a file quicktime doesn't understand -2048.
    Any suggestions/ideas?

    EDIT: if you want to have editable files, you must demux it.
    Looking at the faq that Kirk just posted, I see that a muxed file (which you have) can only be transcoded to another format IF you don't try and touch the audio. I'm no professional but dislike working with muxed files. You may want to check out ffmpegx.
    This program is awsome. It will demux mpegs into separate audio and video streams. These are much easier to work with. For example, if you want to cut a clip of a movie and save it separately, you can't if it is muxed (try it). I've had trouble at time when encoding to H.264 with QT7 pro, but have sucessfully used ffmpegx to do what crashed QT7.
    BTW, there is a multimedia computer lab for student use in the basement of old chem. It is stocked with dual G5s and all the professional apps. More than you need, but they are a good resource.
    Can I transcode MPEG-2 multiplexed (i.e., muxed) video to other formats?
    Yes, the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component combined with QuickTime Pro will allow the transcode of MPEG-2 video to other formats, whether that video originates in an elementary video stream or in a multiplexed stream. However, the audio that is interleaved with the video in a multiplexed stream cannot be transcoded to other formats. Transcoding is supported for video only.

  • QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component Transfer

    Hi, I bought the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component a couple years ago for video editing on my Macbook.  I just bought a new Macbook Pro to replace the old one.  Can I transfer the license from the old machine to the new one, or do I need to buy the prrogram again?
    (Twenty bucks isn't that big of a deal, of course, but since I won't be using the old computer anymore it seems a waste not to ask.)
    Thanks!

    If by "transfer the license from the old machine to the new one" you mean you are going to remove the component from the old computer and put it on the new one, then there isn't a problem. Your software agreement only restricts installation/use to one computer system per perchase/download. If you plan to use the component on both machines simultaneously, then buy a new component for use on the new computer.

  • Quick Time Pro and MPEG-2 Playback plugin

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Quicktime pro and the MPEG-2 playback plug in. I installed them no problem but when I try and playback a .vob file that on my harddrive, it seem to be playing but all I get is a white screen.
    When I play the file using VLC media player it works fine.
    Once I get it playing I want to convert it to a quicktime movie file
    Thanks for any help
    Regards
    Liam

    Similar problem here, only on a Mac. Someone gave me a .vro file with home movies on it, so I bought the MPEG-2 plug-in and now QuickTime crashes immediately whenever I try to play the video.
    Some relevant information from the crash:
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000004
    Thread 0:

    3 ...le.QuickTimeMPEG2.component 0x16e4ac73 MPEGSystemDispatcher + 859
    [etc.]
    Aside from the fact that I can't view the video, I'm less than pleased that I spent $20 only to have it crash instead of tell me it's an unsupported video format.

  • Quicktime Pro Mpeg

    Before I purchase an upgrade to Quicktime Pro, I would like to know if by using Quicktime Pro, I can convert MQV video files to Mpegs or not. Thankyou for your time.

    I thought that Mpeg was the most recent format, and that it was the most popular. I want to copy my MQV files from Sony Memorystick onto DVD, but it won`t work unless they are either Mpeg or Wav files. Quicktime is the only player that will play my MQV files. I just want to be able to make a DVD of my video files, but it`s looking less and less possible (-_-;)

  • Quicktime Pro - export as mpeg-4 works in iPod Touch but not iPhone 3G

    If I use Movie to iPhone / iPhone (cellular) the quality is pretty dismal considering I use the component cable to pipe it out to HDTV.
    So, I tried using movie to mpeg-4 as that allows options. However, the resulting video can be transferred over to an iPod Touch (latest hw/fw) but iTunes (latest version) complains the mp4 cannot be played on the iPhone 3G and thus did not transfer the file over.
    Any ideas what settings I can use under Movie to MPEG-4 that will work for both iPod Touch and iPhone? I would like resolutions up to 720, 25 fps and at around 768kbits/sec.
    Right now I'm using ffmpeg.exe and I do get great quality, but would like to use QuickTime Pro if possible.

    I've tried Movie to iPhone but like I said I do watch movies piped out from the iPhone to HDTV via the component cables. I don't recall the bitrate and resolution offhand, but I know it could be better. Also why iPod Touch can take the Movie to MPEG-4 but not iPhone 3G?

  • 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?
