MPEG2 component issues

Hey all,
I posted awhile back along with some other folks who seemed to be experiencing a similar problem. I'm running a PowerMac G4 with Final Cut Studio and DVD studio pro. While updating in the fall, I lost the ability to view/play MPEG-2 files or VOB or any like file. This past Jan. I repurchased the MPEG2 component from apple and tried installing it... and tried installing it again. Nothing I do seems to install the component properly. I've tried reinstalling quicktime, etc. I'm not sure where to go from here. Does anyone have a series of steps or checks that I can go through? Is there a special installation process because I'm using Final Cut Studio and Dvd Studio Pro? Is there really no fix for this?

Were you able to manually remove the older version of the component first? If so, then the installer you are running is -also- old and you need the newer installer, which installs the newer component.
Ahhh, I just found both installer packages...
control-click on the "QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg" file and select "Show package contents"
Open the folder Contents
Open the folder Resources
Open the file BundleVersions.plist (with TextEdit for instance)
This is the old one for QuickTime 6.3

Need help in finding mpeg2 component number to unlock key so I can burn a dvd?

Need help in finding mpeg2 component number to unlock key so I can burn dvd?? I have premiere elements 3.0
Thanks,
sylvia

Sylvia,
I cannot comment on PrE 3, as I did not start until PrE 4. With the latter, when one went to use one of the modules, they were automatically "registered." Based on comments in the Help file, I asked pretty much this same question, back then. All was done automatically, in PrE 4.
Maybe those, familiar with PrE 3, can be of help to you.
Good luck,

Custom component issue

Custom component issue
According to customer requirements, we want to get such an effect in the development of custom components:
Drag and drop custom components to the Flex builder work area, it can generate more than the default properties, not just generate "x", "y" attribute.
【Details are as follows】
We design a custom panel "CustomPanel.mxml" in the project development, then drag it into the workspace in the Flex builder development environment.
View the source code found that it can only generate "x", "y" attribute in default. That is:
<ns2:CustomPanel x="105" y="74">
</ns2:CustomPanel>
【Issue】
How can we do that when drag the 'custom component' into Flex builder workspace, we can generate "layout" attribute in addition to "x", "y" attributes?
That is:
<ns2:CustomPanel x="105" y="74" layout="absolute">
</ns2:CustomPanel>
【Note】
The following code will be generated when the "panel component comes with Flex builder environment" is dragged into workspace.
<mx:Panel x="121" y="134" width="250" height="200" layout="absolute">
</mx:Panel>
How it is done?

I am sorry to bother you again.
I have tried the web site content, but it can't helped!
There is a custom component called 'Basket', source code is as follows:
package picnic
import mx.containers.Panel;
public class Basket extends Panel
public function Basket()
   super();
   layout = "vertical";
   setStyle("backgroundColor", 0x00FFFF);
   setStyle("horizontalAlign", "center");
Here it is worked when the attribute "layout" is set to "vertical", but it isn't when "layout" is set to "absolute" !
When the property is set to "absolute" phenomenon is as follows:
Drag component such as 'Button' into "picnic component". It will automatically go to the top left corner position,
just like the 'layout-attribute' is not set.
Why is there such a phenomenon?

Subcontracting Component Issue Error

HI,
i am creating Sub contracting Purchase order.component qty is issued for unlimited, accepted for PO.
my option is Po Parent qty against Component issued Excess qty not Allowed.
Purchase Order Qty A: 100Pc
Child Qty B : 100PC
Issued qty B :150 Pc is Allowed.
this Child qty are maintained for BOM.
Plz, Explain and Advise the Issue.
By,
Jeevan

Dear,
You can not issue the quanity more than the BOM component quantity with respective to the PO.
Transaction ME2O uses the component quantities from the individual purchase order items. However, it does not set up a stock based on purchase orders (POs). The system therefore does not assign POs directly to quantities either. The evaluation of the SC stock is therefore always a cumulative analysis of all the requirements of a material over time. The "Closing Stock" for each material displays whether there is excess stock or a stock undercoverage at that time, or whether requirements and stock are balanced.
You can set up the SC stock with larger quantities than component requirements exist at that time. This option is often used if, for example, you want to set up buffer stocks for the subcontractor for subcontracting works that frequently recur.
Hop clear to you.
Regards,
R.Brahmankar

How do I install Utility Mpeg2 Component for Lion?

I know people have asked similar questions, but I don't understand the answers that have been given. I want to use MPEG Streamclip and just bought my first Mac (with Lion). I installed MPEG Streamclip 1.93b7 beta, which I understand is required for Lion. When I open the file, I see the icon for "Utility MPEG2 Component Lion." I understand that I am supposed to open this, but I am not able to. I get a message telling me to double click the file "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg" in order to open the QuickTime MPEG2 disk image. However, I am unable to find the file "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg." Where do I find this?
I looked in the Quicktime folder and found a number of files, including QuickTimeMPEG.component and QuickTimeMPEG4.component, but no QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg."
Thank you so much for any help! I am new to Macs and am not really familiar with the terminology.

MPEG2 Component activation as normal user

Our users with normal privileges (non admins) using ADOBE Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64-Bit are running in to UAC when MPEG2 Component activation happens.Does there exists any possibility to preinstall this component (and even others) during silent installation of ADOBE Premiere Elements 12 (happens with SCCM 2012 as lokal admin)?
Thanks for any answer
Andreas

Dear ATR
Thanks for your answer - I am coming from a company with a volume license agreement and silent installation of PRE 12 works fine. The only problem is as mentioned the UAC when MPEG2 Component activation happens (during/after rendering). If a "normal" user cancels the UAC (trying to register the two files C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\mc_dec_mpa_ds.ax and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\32\mc_dec_mp2v_ds.ax), rendering works anyway and no UAC appears in future!? Giving the necessary permissions on this files doesn't work...
Unfortunately Adobe Chat for me is unusable!
Thanks for any further suggestions.
Andreas

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.

Bought QuickTime MPEG2 component - "installed" but it's not there

I just bought the MGEG2 component and ran the installer - it said it was going on my hard drive, ran the progress bars, etc., and even gave a nice cheery "installaiton Successful" announcement with an attractive green check mark, Too bad it didn't do jack for QT's ability to open files.
When I look in my (hard drive)/Library/QuickTime/ directory, it's not there.
It should have a resource filenamed "QuickTime MPEG2.component" (everything there is for audio (AC3), Div6, Perian, Flip4Mac and the Save as AVI component from MPEG Streamclip.)
Antbody understand why it's not where it should be?
Reference info:
OS 10.6.7
QT Pro 7.6.6
MacBookPro (Intel 2 GHz)
component installer v. 7.6
(creation date Jan 14, 2009) <- too old?

1) What part of their MP4 doesn't my version of QuickTime understand? (It reads a lot of mpeg-4s, what does it need to know?)
You have two different facets here.
The first is MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video multiplexed with AC3 audio wrapped in an M2TS, MPG, or MPEG file container. This has many problems. On the one hand the video is MPEG-4 and so the QT MPEG-2 Playback component cannot decode it but it is wrapped in an file container that is basically telling QT to use the QT MPEG-2 Playback component for video playback (i.e., much the same as why VLC considers the content MPEG-1/2 data because that is what both media players expect even though VLC can actually handle the audio and video data in this wrapper). On the other, QT is not natively compatible with AC3 audio and cannot play it natively even if it was able to "demux" the blocks of audio and video data properly and synchronize the two to a common external time reference which is the basis for QT media technology. (I.e., The wrapper being used is based on spatial synchronization of audio and video data interspersed in a single data stream rather than the temporal synchronization of up to 99 parallel data tracks normally used by QT—a basic difference in player technology akin to trying to play a BD disc in a CD player.) Normally, the way around this problem is to use iMovie '08, '09, or '11 to import your content. iMovie contains a special import/converter module to handle this content. Basically, it converts the AVCHD video to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec), converts the AC3 audio to resampled linear PCM (AIFF) and applies timing offsets as may be needed to ensure synchronization between audio and video content. This data is then wrapped in the generic QT MOV file container making the files compatible with any/all QT based applications. Unfortunately, the special module cannot be used by files already imported to your hard drive at the "Finder" file level.
As to MP4 (SD MPEG-4, Chapter 2) content, these files may or may not be compatible with QT depending on how the audio is encoded, the file container actually used, and/or how your system is actually configured with QT components. In most cases, making the content compatible may be as easy as doing nothing, to changing the file extension or copying the data to a real MOV file container to using MPEG Streamclip to convert/handle the audio content.
2) Why does VLC show the file properties as MPEG-1/2?
Like QT, when VLC sees the wrapper file extension, it "assumes" the file contains a specific type (or range) of data types and reports accordingly. The main difference here, is that VLC can actually play the AVCHD data natively while QT cannot.
By the way the MPEG-2 description jived with a review - CNET, I think - which I'd read online. No doubt this will provoke another one of those explanations that always boil down to "you don't understand, the wrapper isn't telling you what's in the files" responses. Is there a tool for telling what the thing actually is?
Interpretations can sometimes be confusing. HDV content can also be described or reported as MPEG-1/2 content since it is sometimes described as DV100 encoded data wrapped in an MPEG-2 file container. As to what is actually in a file container and utilities to read them, there are a number of such available as free downloads. Unfortunately, many will have the same problem with MPEG/MPG containers if they bother to read them at all but do really well with other file containers. Since most of the content I deal with is MOV, MP4, and/or M4V, I tend to use the free VideSpec and/or Dumpster utilities. In my case I am more worried about MPEG-4 Profiles and Levels, entropy encoding modes, fourCC identifications, key frame frequency, key frame data rates, how the data is distributed between key frames, and the like when trouble shooting problems and most of my dealings with AVCHD are limited to the conversion of DVR/BD content to TV2 compatible content since I don't even own an AVCHD camcorder (and still prefer HDV for editing purposes).
The broader question remains - is QuickTime meant to be general purpose, at least as a player?
No, it isn't. As previously stated, QT technology is based on temporal synchronization of multiple parallel data tracks (up to 99) to a common reference clock and not spatial synchronization by interspersing of blocks of data within a single stream or the interleaving of data frames (which QT can handle because the data is only out of sync by one half-frame per n-1 tracks). This is great if you mask, layer, window, etc. content within a single player but severely limits QT compatibility with older and/or currently competing technologies. In short, pick your player/converter based on the technology used in the source file and not because you think QT should be an all purpose, one size fits all multimedia utility. If FLV Crunch meets your needs, then by all means use it.
I took some similar files I got from a recent model Canon to a video professional's (family) and they couldn't be read by a current version of FinalCut Pro.
Which model Canon? Which "current" version of FCP, the suite or the new FCP X release? Do you have a short snippet you can upload for examination? Have yet to research the pros and cons of the latest release but plan to do so next month if/when I have the time. (I.e., users seem to either really love it or really hate it.)
PC video straightforward, Mac a colossal hassle until you find the right 3rd party application: does that sound wrong to anybody else?
If you opt to use an import work flow that preserves the QT file incompatibilities instead of a work flow that ensures QT playback, conversion, and editing compatibilities, is it the fault of the software or the user?

QT X & MPEG2 component problems

I have QT X. I paid for and installed MPEG2 component, but for some reason QTX won;y let me access the files. I thought I had QT Pro that came with my Final Cut 7 - obviously not. So I tried downloading QT7 but it would not install because of QTX.
My old G5 with 10.5 runs it no problem, as does my MacBook !!

Hi I have the same problem and have not been able to solve it. I have SL and QT 7.7.6 and X. Cant get it to work in either. I was able to read files before upgrade to SL...... but now it wont work. Love to hear how others have solved this

Seeking MPEG2 Component for QT prior to 7.6

Hey all. I need an old version of the Quicktime MPEG2 Component that Apple provides on their website. I'm having a problem because I'm running OS version 10.5.5 with QT version 7.5.5. I can't upgrade because the version of Avid Media Composer I'm running only supports this version of Quicktime. Only problem is, I need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert some DVDs into QTs and I can't find an old version of the MPEG2 component. The version currently available on Apple's website supports QT 7.6 and up. Someone please help!
-Rob

I need an old version of the Quicktime MPEG2 Component that Apple provides on their website. I'm having a problem because I'm running OS version 10.5.5 with QT version 7.5.5.
I assume you are referring to the component targeted for use with QT 6.4 thru QT v7.5... Believe another poster having the same problem contacted Apple which indicated they no longer provide access to archival copies of this package. As such, my recommendation would be to contact your local Apple User Group (MUG/AUG) to see if they maintain archives of out-of-day software/components which are no longer support by Apple or you can try searching larger, online MUGs/AUGs which may offer similar download archives as may be allowed by agreement with Apple.

Getting mpeg2 component through fcp and dvd studio

hey guys~
i checked on the quicktime website saying that i could upgrade my mpeg2 component if i have fcp or dvd studio. how are you suppose to get the upgrade..
Thanks.

You are probably reffering to the QuickTime MPEG 2 Component. I think it's part of Compressor now, so there's no need to upgrade something.

No Audio From VOB Via MPEG2 Component?

I'm very disappointed. I bought the MPEG2 Component to playback my DVD files, but though it plays a VOB file, it only plays back the video. What am I doing wrong?

I was hoping to make Quicktime reference files so that if I put in a DVD, I could just launch the reference file. But alas, that is not to be. Anyone know of an alternative short of ripping? I'm not ready for that yet.
As for the audio, I tried both QT6Pro and QT7Pro with no luck. On my Mac Mini, I was able to get the picture, but that is it.
I tried the MPEG Streamclip and it seems to be a very interesting utility. As much as a fan as I am of VLC, it's pretty limited to playback and Streamclip promises so much more. Thanks for the lead.

MPEG2 component

Just installed the MPEG2 component to convert an MPG file to MOV. I started with a small mpg (MPEG1) to test, and after just a few seconds, it stops converting and gives an error (unknown error, so its hard to say whats wrong). I have read the FAQ about the component and it says there that transcoding is supported for video only, when the mpg file is multiplexed. Whats the point of having a video without sound???
Then I tried with the larger movie, which is MPEG2. Same problem when using the export function.
Saving the file with "Save as" and as .mov is working much better, also with MPEG2!
Anyone has the same problem? What with the other formats you can export to? Only video?

If you visit this site you will see that the developer has provided both Mac and PC versions of Streamclip. They should have the same features, although I have only used the Mac version to date:

MPEG2 Component for Intel performance

Hello there. I just purchased the MPEG2 component for QuickTime, Intel and am experiencing slow performance. I initially used this for opening files within MPEG Streamclip, but it was a very slow export. Then, I tried QuickTime and experienced the same slow performance. The hard disk starts swapping and it takes forever. Any ideas or do I need to wait for a new release?

Just a quick update on the MPEG2 component. I wasn't able to resolve the problem and had to resort to a G5 at the office. It worked fine. I wouldn't recommend purchasing until they get this figured out.
