Quicktime MPEG2 Codec Softward

Just downlaoded Quicktime MPEG2 software which would help convert my .mod files to a usable format in imovie. Paid my S$35 (about US$25) but whehn it was downloafing I got a message saying my Mac OS was too modern for this software!
How can the Apple shop be selling stuff which cannot be used on Lion? Since it is an electronic download there will be no refund and I feel completely ripped off. Any ideas would be really welcome to one very pi**ed off Apple funder.

Whle the Lion installer will not let you install the software automatically because MPEG-2 is already supported for the QT X Player app, the purchased QT MPEG-2 Playback component can still be installed for use by the QT 7 Player and third-party apps like MPEG Streamclip which also rely on your system's codec component configuration. There are several ways to do this
1) You can install the component on an older system and then move the component to the same location on your Lion system.
2) You can use the MPEG Streamclip "helper" app included in the MPEG Streamclip "beta" package to directly install the purchased component package on your Lion system.
3) You can use the Pacifist app to either automatically install the component or extract and manually install the component on your Lion system
4) You can use the system's context menu option to manually open the component package and manually copy the codec componebt to the correct folder on your Lion system.

Problems with mpeg2 codec for quicktime

I just downloaded the mpeg2 codec for quicktime and installed it. My computer doesn't recongnize it and I still can't play mpeg2 clips. When I check the video codecs installed on my computer, the mpeg2 codec doesn't appear in the list even if I did install it. I'm using windows XP. What can I do?

The QuickTime MPEG2 Component comes with an installer. Did the installer run? Did it show any errors?
It is working for me in QuickTime on Windows XP.
Note: Even with this component there are some limitations. It cannot play AC3 sound tracks. It should however be able to play MPEG2 video from .m2v or .vob or .mpg files.

MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
Please help, thanks.

The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.

Purchased Quicktime MPEG2. No audio.

I've just purchased Quicktime MPEG2 playback component for my Mac OS X, and downloaded MPEG Streamclip, and I'm getting no audio from the DVD I imported into imovie. What do I do now?

What content are you trying to play in which application on what operating system? "Muxed" MPEG-2 content imported to iMovie for instance, should now be a MOV file containing all I-frame MPEG-2 video with AC3 audio converted to linear PCM. This file should play in almost any player on the importing system assuming the playing application/system is not muted. On the other hand, "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 or MPEG-2/PCM content is not normally supported natively by QT (except by Lion and then only in a supported file container) since the MPEG-2 Playback component is a video only codec. MPEG Streamclip should be able to play/demux/convert "muxed" MPEG-2 content and if it doesn't then you may be looking at a more serious or complex problem and will have to provide more information and/or a sample of the problem content for examination/playback comparison on other systems/system configurations.

Quicktime mpeg2 - no sound

I recently purchased and downloaded a component Quicktime mpeg2 so that I could play .mpg files on my Mac. When I open these files they now play, but there is no sound. How do I get the sound to play?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Why can I hear and see the apple mpeg2 sample
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75424-de
but cannot hear anything with my movie?The sample file is a "muxed" MPEG2/MP2 file which is supported by the QT Player when the MPEG-2 component is installed.
What are the differences between QickTime and VLC.VLC is more of a "multi" multimedia player handling "muxed" and interleaved spatially synchronized audio/video data, as well as, QT's temporally "frame-to-framed" synchronized audio and video. In addition, it includes "device encoded" optical output while QT does not.... and so on.
Why it doesn't work with Quicktime inclusive mpeg2 codec?As indicated above, QT w/MPEG-2 component only supports the MPEG2/MP2 (i.e., MPEG-1, layer 2 audio) "muxed" format, elementary M2V video files with corresponding AIFF audio files, and/or custom M2V video track MOV files with QT compatible audio track. The normal solution to your problem is to use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your "muxed" audio data to QT compatible MP2 data. (I.e., using the "Convert to MPEG with MP2 audio" File Menu option to change the file to one like the sample file above. This is a very quick conversion since the video data is not changed.)

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?

Gopro 2.7k export quicktime animation codec custom 22gb mov file?

Adobe support told me to export using quicktime <animation codec <custom 2704 x 1536 res for my gopro 2.7k and it turned into a 22.5 gb mov file. (not even 2 minutes long!!!!)
What do I do next? I mean I cant upload that to youtube. (well I could)
I'm new to adobe is there a better way to get my 2.7k res without it being 22.5gb or how do I convert it smaller and what would be the best for youtube.
I'm trying to get the best quality so I can view it later on my retina screen. Should I just upload it as is for best quality even if it takes a day lol? Thanks soooo much

Ya np I actually just check again, back in july 2010 youtube allowed various 4k formates then lowered in 2012 to 2048 x 1536 (I'm glad I just checked that)
So ya I've been researching youtubes uploader as much as I can and from different people have said large files get crushed so some have had better results converting it to a smaller size (not resolution) and uploading it for better results but now I have a 22gb 1 minute video and am wondering the best way to convert it smaller.
Also strange question but converting a 2.7k to 1080 will provide cleaner and crisper picuter but how would a 2.7k exported at 4k look. I would think it'd look grainy but what if you were viewing that on a 1080 screen?

Quicktime animation codec bad playback

Hello, ever since I updated to the newest version of quicktime, any file using the Quicktime animation codec stutters and freezes on playback.
This has happened before, and rolling back to previous versions helped then, but isn't helping now.
I've gone far enough as to format the computer and reinstall everything, but the problem still occurs. Every other codec seems to work fine. I can work around it by using other export methods, but it's a problem when I need to edit previous or co-workers projects on my machine.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Hello Kevin,
Sorry for late reply, and thanks for your interest in the case. I exported a section from my Premiere project using the animation codec, then reimported it. I got the same glitchy lines running through the clip, which hadn't existed in the edit (some clips from an EX1 camera, and some text animations).
Any thoughts why this might be happening?

Quicktime MPEG2 playback broken?

FCP Quicktime Compression Codec?

Does anyone have any suggestions on a Quicktime Compression Codec that works well with Final Cut Pro? I need the codec to capture and export quicktime movies in Final Cut Pro. As of right now I don't have the ability to compress.
Is there a standard one?
Is there a 3rd party?

*Does anyone have any suggestions on a Quicktime Compression Codec that works well with Final Cut Pro? I need the codec to capture and export quicktime movies in Final Cut Pro*

Quicktime MPEG2 playback component

What app are you using to try and mount the image file? The default should be the DiskImageMounter.app application. If it is still the default app, then it sounds like the image file, the mounter app, or your system is corrupted. If not, then make it the default app for the DMG file class.

Missing QuickTime Video Codecs

I received 3 video files created using Final Cut Pro on a Mac. They were saved to a .mov file and placed on a dvd. The problem is when I try to play them on my pc using QuickTime or RealPlayer, I can hear audio but cannot see the video. I suspect I am missing some QuickTime video codecs I need but I'm not sure which ones or where to get them.
My computer is a special built that's why I don't list a Model.

Open the file using QuickTime Player and then use the Movie Inspector window to view the codecs used in it.
My guess is that you've got a file that uses codecs only available to FCP. They should export the file again using H.264 Video codec and AAC audio.

Quicktime mpeg2

Just purchased and downloaded quicktime mpeg2 on my computer i have a mac os x to view video clips that i imported from my camcord but there is no audio during playback. I have confirmed there is audio on the videos. What can i do to correct this? Please help =]

Just purchased and downloaded quicktime mpeg2 on my computer i have a mac os x to view video clips that i imported from my camcord but there is no audio during playback.
QT does not support multiplexed MPEG-2/AC3 or multiplexed MPEG-2/PCM files. Use MPEG Streamclip for viewing and/or conversion of such files via the QT MPEG-2 Playback component to QT compatible compression formats. (VLC can also be used for viewing and HandBrake can be used for conversions but neither of these apps require the QT MPEG-2 Playback component.) Import via iMovie '08/'09/'11 automatically converts audio to linear PCM which is also supported by systems having iMovie '08/'09/'11 installed.

Problems operating Quicktime MPEG2 conversion

Hi there,
I have copied my friend's sd card with his movie files which are .MOD and .MOI files which I understand are mpeg2 format. I have therefore downloaded the program "Quicktime MPEG2 conversion for OSX" but cannot see how to use it. I thought that it may have acted as a patch or upgrade with Quicktime but this is not immediately evident.
Would dearly love some help.
Justin

Mpeg 2 is the standard DVD delivery format, not intended for further editing.
You need to convert the mpeg2 files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.

Quicktime mpeg2 plug in

I have an imac 24 and snow leopard is installed, on aplles web site it has a plug-in that allow mpeg2 to be played on quicktime, downloaded it and for a while it worked great. now it will play the mpeg2 but I have not sound. I have video but the volume slider is gone, any other format that is made to play on quicktime normally, plays with sound, but mpeg2 with this plug in will play the video, but no sound any help with this would be great, since this is not a apple product no support is available even though it is on aplle's website and I had to pay apple for it.

If you are referring to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99), then it is an Apple product. It is a video codec only and does not support all forms of "muxed" audio possibilities. There are three like possibilities here:
1) Your movie may contain an unsupported audio format along with the MPEG-2 video,
2) You may have failed to update/install the latest version compatible with your OS, or
3) When you upgraded to Snow Leopard, you may have neglected to install the older, 32-bit version of QT 7.
Therefore, to try and determine where your particular problem lies, please determine:
1) What is audio format and file container type for your problem movie?
2) Do you have the QT 7.6 compatible component installed?
3) Is QT v7.6.3 also installed on your system?
