MPEG-2 Plugin doesn't work with SVCD ?

Hi,
I just purchased the rather expensive MPEG-2 plugin for Quicktime, only to find that it doesn't work with a .mpg I have on a SVCD. Apple support in Australia have bent over backwards to help without success - apparently it just "doesn't work". Customer relations in Australia have, by comparison, been extremely poor in addressing my complaint (ie, they won't provide a refund).
I guess this is a warning to anyone who assumes the premium priced MPEG-2 plug-in for Quicktime will play what just about every other cheap downloadable MPEG2 player will.

There should be no quality loss as longs as the ripped CD is in good shape...
(XS)VCD disks have very little error correction -- that's why you can put as much as ~797.9 MB of MPEG2 data on a "80 minute CD" in (XS)VCD format, while you can put only ~703.1 MB if you treat the same CD as a regular data-CD. ...and audio-CDs use no error correction at all so you can put ~807.5 MB on an that CD if you treat it as an audio-CD!
So a data-CD holds less stuff but it is more reliable to get a bit-for-bit copy back from it.
So: if the (XS)VCD or audio-CD has a small defect and you rip it, then the application must sometimes guess and make the ripped data out of thin air. Luckily the human ear/eye don't usually notice any quality loss, though.

  • Waves plugins doesn't work with the new Logic X?

    All of my Waves plugins included in the Complete V9 bundle doesn't appear with the "upgrade" to Logic X. Even I re-installing the plugins Logic X seems to ignore them...
    Someone with this problem? Anyway to solve that?

    AndersonPiah
    For Waves v9 64bit version..
    Did you also run  the Waves AU Reg Utility 9.2 or later.. found in the applications/waves/waveshells folder?
    If not, quit LPX and run the AU reg util.
    Then, restart LPX and V9 should then be validated correctly and available in LPX via the Insert FX slots.
    Waves V9 working fine here with LPX and 10.8.4
    Salvarado,
    As zbaig stated, you need to update to Waves v9 64bit... as v8 was 32bit only and is no longer supported within Logic Pro X

  • Compatibility problem - CS5.5 plugin doesn't work with CS5.5

    Hi,
    I have a problem with our CS5.5 plugin, it works without problems one my machine but the customer gets the errormessage "Adobe InDesign does not recognize JOURNALDESIGNERPLUGIN.PLN as valid plug-in. Please reinstall...."
    I know this message from accidentaly putting a CS5 plugin in the CS5.5 folder - but this is a CS5.5 plugin. I tried exactly the same plugin file the customer used in my InDesign and it works here. We both use version 7.5.3 on Windows.
    And ideas where the problem is?
    Thanks
    Klaus

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Twain Plugin Doesn't Work

    The twain plugin (for my Canon scanner) had worked in 32-bit mode in Photoshop CS5.
    But the plugin doesn't work with Photoshop CS5.1. I downloaded what seems to be the latest (not sure) twain plugin from Adobe, but no help there, either.
    I get this error message. But the scanner is connected (it worked from another application) and plugged in.

    Yes. I installed the twain plugin for CS5.1, and opened in 32-bit mode.
    Do you have a link for the most recent twain plugin, so I can see if it's the one I downloaded?
    Thanks.

  • I have truble with firefox 5 because the plugin I want to use doesn't work with 5 yet, just 4. The plugin is Firebug.

    I can't use the plugin "Firebug" because it doesn't work with Firefox 5 yet. Because of that I want to download Firefox 4 instead of 5, but I can't find it anywhere. Just the third version, and 5 off course.
    I'm sorry if this isn't in the correct category, just picked the one that seemed to be right...

    Go buy yourself a iPhone 5. Sync your iPhone 3GS to iTunes on you computer so you have a back up ready to put on the iPhone 5. If you want you can update your iPhone 3GS with iTunes on your computer, but this is not necessary.

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    ''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)

  • Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

  • Air browser: djvu plugin doesn't work

    Hello,
    I am building a custom air browser for my company using the HTML component.
    It's working great in general but my company makes extensive use of the djvu technology for online image viewing.
    Problem: the djvu plugin doesn't work on the air browser. After installing the last version (6.1.4) of the plugin it keeps saying it's necessary to install the plugin. (it works ok with the other browsers, also with google chrome).
    Has anybody ever met a similar problem?
    thanks in advance
    marco

    Hi Marco,
    unless something changed between versions documented limitations include:
    - support for only PDF plugin (version 8.1 or later) - with api to check availability at runtime if it is available on machine
    - support for Flash plugin (without external dependency)
    So other plugins are not supported:

  • Java 1.4.2 Plugin doesn't work on Netscape 7.1 on Linux

    Hi,
    When I run the Java 1.4.2 plugin on Red Hat Linux 7.3, I get the following error when Netscape starts up:
    INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
    System error?:: Success
    After that Netscape just quits. If I remove libjavaplugin_oji.so, then Netscape starts fine but doesn't have Java. Netscape 7.1 doesn't work with Java 1.4.1_03 on Linux either.
    Netscape 7.02 does work with both versions of the Java plugin on Linux. Has anyone gotten Netscape 7.1 running with Java? Does anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option either) after update to FF4?

    I have updated firefox to 4.0.1, but the realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option like it should either).
    I have IE 9 too and the same videos tried in FF can be dl'd there but not with the new FF4, and i've checked the plugin against this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20RealPlayer%20plugin%20with%20Firefox#os=win&browser=fx4, but it's exactly as it says it should be, but there is not dl tab appearing like normal.
    I have also tried updating to the latest realplayer and there's no difference.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Restart your phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. Be aware that some owners of iPhone 4 have had difficulty using WIFI after the upgrade.

    This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

    I'm not seeing the Java plugin in the plugins list in the System Details list.
    Did you install the 32 bit Java version?
    Do you see the Java plugin in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"?

  • MPEG-2 component doesn't work anymore

    Hi,
    I now recognized, that the MPEG-2 component doesn't work anymore. I don't know since which moment, but maybe since the last QuickTime update. I reinstalled it, but it didn't solve the problem.

    I can open a m2v fil but there is no content and it displays like a sound file.
    If there is no display screen above the controller (i.e., looks like an audio file), check the Inspector (or Properties) window to see what the QT player thinks is contained in the file. Also, what is the source of the file? Files split by windows users and posted on the internet frequently open in this manner without a display screen. Basically, if the QT MPEG-2 Playback component is not working, the file will not open at all. Also, M2V files are normally paired with a separate AIFF file. If you have QT Pro, open the Properties window and check the "Resource" pointer for your M2V track.
    I can't find where it is installed either.
    Did you check the root "Library > QuickTime" folder on your start-up drive? Also, did you install the correct codec? Two versions should be contained in the image file. You want the one that says "For QuickTime 6.4 and later & Intel Macs."
