Playback component to change dvd to dv.....

i recently purchased the pmeg2....installed it....but cant find it on my computer....has this happened to anyone else.......help........also when down loaded ,i got to options between types of quicktime....which do i use...i have updated version but not pro......

the mpeg2 playback component is well hidden in the innerts of your Mac's system/Quicktime architecture ...
it is no application...
after installing the component and relaunching your Mac, you need a 3rd party app, as the free (click here) Streamclip for demuxxing DVDs ...
open your DVD with THAT app, the mp2 component now allows SC to convert DVD into any wanted format, codec, whatever...
illustrated How-To on my site here:
http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/convertdvdstodvs
(the recommended Export settings on my site are for iMovie... change to your format...)
be nice to copy rights ...

Find QuicktimeMPEG2 playback component on Install DVD

I am trying to use MPEG Streamclip with FCS3. I would like to install the Quicktime MPEG-2 playback component. I followed the instructions on the Streamclip website to open my FCS 3 install DVD but I am unable to locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file using the Go command to find the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD.
If I do find this component, where to I install it to use Streamclip?
Thanks for your help.

I found the answer to my question.
The MPEG Streamclip website instructions are for FCS 2. They do not work for the newest version of FCS. You must put in your FCS 2 install disk to reinstall the Quicktime component.

How can I get a loading animation to play while fly playback component loads a file?

Hi team,
Two part question here..
So I have a FLV playback component and a number of .flv files that it loads   ------> using video1.source="film/whatever.flv";
There is a slight delay while the file loads and so I would like to
A) make this pause a bit longer (it would be so fast at the moment that any loading animation would be subliminal, but with nothing at all you get a second of blank which is not good either- so if I can get it to be a bit longer, like say 2 seconds..
B) have an animation play while this happens..
It does not need to show progress or anything, just like a spinning wheel or whatever.
I have been playing around with bufferTime but not really getting anywhere..
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Here is a test with one flv player (video1) and two buttons (butt and butt1)
Ok so I have some code that kind of works using the countdown timer... but I obviosuly dont know why it works because if I change the seconds count down from 1 to 2 it only works once.
I get "working"
         "working" trace twice and it works
After that I get the "working" trace but nothing happens    ...    I am close but would really like to understand a bit more what I am doing!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

MPEG2 Playback Component gone

Hi Folks-
I have posted this on the Quicktime forum, but thought there might
be more help here.
I have extracted from a DVD using Mac the Ripper (legally-
it's for a client who shot the original footage himself, and
built a DVD out of it). I have then opened MPEG Streamclip
to convert to QT so it can be edited in FCP. However, somehow
I have lost MPEG2 Playback component from QT Pro 7.1.3
(did I lose this when I upgraded from 6?). Am trying to DL from Apple
website, but even as I log in, Apple keeps screwing up my address
info (says I'm in US, when I'm in Canada) and won't let me check out.
A call to Apple and I hear that possibly MPEG2 Playback component
is now not available in Canada (!#@$@#).
Anybody have any experience with this cross border availability issue? Anybody have any suggestions for another workaround?
Did I lose MPEG2 Playback Component just by upgrading to 7.1.3?
(I know other things get lost when upgrading from 6 Pro to 7 Pro, but since MPEG2 Playback Component is an add-on, it didn't occur
to me that it would be lost...
Also- further to the above, I cannot play any m2v files on my box...
Thanks,
Ted

[(I know other things get lost when upgrading from 6 Pro to 7 Pro, but since MPEG2 Playback Component is an add-on, it didn't occur
to me that it would be lost...!/b]
Pretty sure everything from a Pro Key in 6 gets wiped out when going to 7, including add ons such as the MPEG Playback
What software are you running? Final Cut Studio? Playback component is included. Can you roll back your system? (Do you have a pre-QT 7 system back up?)
You can try backtracking your QT install, such as this one -

How do I re-download the mpeg 2 playback component that was purchased more than 18 months ago?

I wanted to check to see if I could re-download the installer for the QT MPEG 2 Playback Component, which I had purchased several years ago, but have since lost since I wiped my hard drive and upgraded my system to Leopard. I have a copy of the app from the backup I made of my old system, but just copying it over to the new Applications folder doesn't seem to do anything.
I went to check on my order history at the Apple Store to see if there was any indication I could re-download the installer. I logged into one of my Apple Store accounts (I have two, accidentally), but it had no order history for the past 18 months, and I couldn't look further back. I purchased the MPEG 2 decoder several years ago.
Not only that, but I could NOT logout in order to log in to my other account. If there's a logout button anywhere on any of the pages in my account I checked, it was very well hidden. WHERE IS THE FRIKKIN' LOGOUT BUTTON!!!???
I managed to log into my other account by switching to Firefox, but of course, it didn't have any purchase history past 18 months back.
How can I re-download the installer? I another thread, I saw someone mention re-downloading the decoder from the "Downloadable Applications Page in your account," but can't find anything like that in either of my accounts.
Thanks

I am suspecting Apple have made a change since I last had to do this and have caused a FUBAR. If you read http://store.apple.com/uk/help/downloads?mco=MTM3NDgzNTM we are all doing it the right way but the option is not being listed when it should.
As I read the above document and as I recall from the past, we should be seeing a Software download option on the main account page of the Apple webstore once you have logged in and this option should automatically be listed if your account has been previously used to purchase downloadable software.
I suspect either they have incorrectly cleared older than 18month order data from accounts rather than merely not giving an option to list older orders, or that as part of the move to the App Store for downloads they have change the process and as a result messed things up.
I would suggest the following to you all.
If possible find your email confirmation of the original order to use as evidence
Ring the Apple Store phone line
It is possible the Apple Store person will be able to see older orders than the website is allowing you to see and they will be able to trace your original order
They may choose to solve the problem by giving you a credit for a new purchase

Apple QT MPEG2 Playback Component conflict w/Mavericks

I am running OX 10.9.1, Mavericks. and wnat to transfer my VOB files from DVD into iMovie for editing. Per the instructions in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3951 ), I installed MPEG StreamClip. I also purchased the Apple QT MPEG2 PB component - oops! - BC the Apple store says I actually don't need it if I'm running Lion or later. Per the Streamclip site (squared5.com) ,even though Apple says the QT PB tool is not needed, Streamclip still needs it. Fine, whatever. With Streamclip installed, I attempted to install the QT MPEG2 PB tool, but I got this error code: "QuickTime MPEG2 can't be installed on this disk. This software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OSX." For fun, I tried transferring my VOB files from DVD into streamclip, but that yielded another error that teh tranfer would not be complete, adn owuld be missing elements. That's true - the files I transfered to streamclip are now audi only.
So it appears that I need the Apple QT MPEG2 PB tool, but it's not available for Mavericks. Or am I missing something else? If streamclip won't work on MAvericks , is there an alternative QT MPEG2 PB component? Or, can you please show me another way to get my VOB files from DVD into iMovie?
Thank you very much, and I appreciate your time.
Alison

I found this info frm samberl in australia (in this discussion thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/17333072#17333072), and it enabled me to install the QT MPEG2 playback component. Although all the instructions are directed toward Lion users, apparently it also applies to Mavericks.
"You need to delve deeper into MPEG Streamclip, Lion and Quicktime MPEG2 playback.
From the MPEG Streaclip website.
"The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7."

Media Playback Component - how do i close connection

I am using the media playback component to stream Mp3 files.
The rtmp files are loaded into my flash component from a database
and show up as click-to-play links. When the users click to play
them, I call stop on the playback component if it is currently
playing and then the playback component path is changed to the
clicked song and then told to play. When I run this as a Flash
Application everything is fine, however, when I preview on the web
or load onto the web it has problems.
On the Web:
1. Each time I click a link it makes a new connection to the
Media Server and does not close the old one.
2. The music either fails to play, stutters, plays both
streams, or plays for a while and quits.
3. I end up with one user taking up a bunch of streaming
licenses
From Flash:
1. Each time I click a link it closes the old connection and
makes a new connection.
2. The correct song plays without problems.
3. 1 User, 1 License
Does anyone have any thoughts? How do I explicitly close that
connection?

Write a stopMusic function that contains the code: "delete
yourMusic" where yourMusic is the name of your Sound Object. i.e.
var yourMusic:Sound;

Media playback component

Hi, I understand that the media playback component in mx 2004
does not suuport m4a files. Does anyone know an easy way of
converting m4a to mp3 format? Thanks in advance

you can convert using itunes if u have it
open itunes, go to ur itunes preferences and under the
"advanced" screen click on the tab "importing"....make sure ur
"import using" is set to MP3 encoder. click ok and head back to ur
itunes library. click once on whatever file u r looking to change
and then go to "advanced", the 3rd option down should say "convert
selectin to mp3". it will create a second file (mp3) u can use to
bring into flash.
hope that helps. good luck

Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?

I am installing a new iMac with Snow Leopard.
Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?
(btw, I have already done the optional install of QT7 from the SN DVD).

Does the QT MPEG2 Playback Component install & work with QT X ?
I cannot get "muxed" MPEG2 content (e.g., VOB) file to load in QT X but both QT 7 Pro (with usual audio limitations) and MPEG Streamclip still function normally under Snow Leopard. (Since I don't normally use QT X, I had to actually run a quick test to see what would happen and haven't really performed any real tests. So take my comments with a grain of salt at this time.)
with such files on my PB Pro.

MPEG2 Playback Component, Does it work on ALL QT versions?

I'm running QT version 7.0.3 and OS 10.3.9. I just purchased the MPEG2 QT Playback Component and when I play files such as MPEG2 and VOB, it plays without audio. Does the MPEG2 PC work only with QT 6.4? Or can we make it work with 7.0.3?

That's what it does - just plays back mpeg-2 encoded video. If you want to play both video and audio from DVDs use Apple's DVD Player or try the VLC media player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
The playback component gives Apple apps like FCP and DVD SP the ability to playback mpeg-2 video. It also works with MPEG StreamClip at http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html
Does the MPEG2 PC work only with QT 6.4? Or
can we make it work with 7.0.3?
There is a Windows version and a Mac version and they are NOT interchangable.
If you have the Mac version it works with Mac QT 6 and QT 7 (although you may need to reinstall it depending on how you upgraded to OS 10.4 and QT 7).

Mpeg-2 playback component needed?

I am trying to use streamclip to export a DVD to quickTime but a prompt says I need the mpeg-2 playback component to make it work. But, when I go to the Apple website to download it, the website says I do not need it for Mountain Lion and above. Catch-22? What do I need to do?
Best,

Free MPEG2 Playback Component download link for FCP users is broken?

quote:
Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Studio Users
If you received your MPEG-2 Playback Component as part of Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Studio, you can download the update with your Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Studio serial number. Download Update.
I'm trying to download the update to MPEG2 Playback component via the URL that is listed at the address above ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/download )
The links seems to be broken. I have received my Playback Component as a part of Final Cut Pro. Any suggestions on how to obtain the update?

Well if the link stay broken ...call them...Nothing
you can from here...sorry
Well, I actually e-mailed Apple Store support (since that's where I originally ordered the FCP crossgrade). They suggested that I post my question over here.
I don't feel comfortable about making a support call to USA from Finland... they might put me on hold for ages and it would end up costing a lot more than purchasing the component from Apple Store.
I think that the link has been broken for months already, although I'm not sure. Doesn't Apple have any kind of e-mail address to ask about this issue?

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.

FLV Playback Component - specifying an image before it plays

I am using the FLV Playback Component to play a video.
Instead of playing automatically, I want to be able to set an image
(or a frame of the movie) to display and only play the movie after
the user clicks the play button. I can't find anything anywhere to
explain how to do this or a workaround for it. Can anyone point me
in the right direction? thanks.

Actually, I'm just trying to access the movie controls in the
FLV Playback component, so I can adjust how the work.
This does not work:
this.movie.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)
Neither does this:
MovieClip(this.movie).forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)

MPEG-2 Playback Component v6 no longer available for download

Hello, I purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component in June 2006. Due to a hard drive failure in my MacBook I returned to the store to redownload but my entire order history has been removed.
I just spent 30 mins on the phone to Robert in aftersales in the US and after discussion with his manager I have been told that Apple no longer host the version 6 component and that I should do an internet search to download the file as Apple no longer host this version.
Does anyone know where this may be hosted? Apple refused to suggest any sites.
This is strangely in conflict with this note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26574?viewlocale=en_US
+The Apple Store keeps track of your purchase(s) *and you can always download the file again if something goes wrong* by clicking "Your Account" in the store menu bar. After entering your Apple ID and password, click "Software Download Purchases."+
But just in case anyone has any qualms about downloading this component from a non-Apple source, I have just had verbal confirmation this is the only way to retrieve this purchase, short of repurchasing which I am not prepared to do.
Cheers
George

Hello, I purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component in June 2006.
Be advised that there are two versions of the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component that work under QT 6. You will need to specify which version of QT 6 you are using and/or whether or not the computer is an Intel based model.
