For MPEG-2 playback and conversion, you need the QuickTime MPEG-2Playback Component. You can buy it from Apple(www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2).If you have either Final Cut Pro orDVD Studio Pro, then the component is already installed and you don'thave to buy it; but you may need to download the latest version fromApple.If you bought an olderversion of the component, you can update it to the latest version(www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/update).Note that the MPEG-2 componentis neither required nor useful for MPEG-1 or MPEG-4 files. But it isrequired for VOB files and transport streams, because they are MPEG-2files.
For DivX playback and editing, you have to install DivX (www.divx.com/divx/mac).
You can also install another codec like 3ivx (www.3ivx.com)or XviD(n.ethz.ch/student/naegelic),but only with DivX 6.5 and later (or DivX 5.2.1) you canencode DivX files with MP3audio.
For FLV playback and export, you can download and install Perian (www.perian.org).
For WMV playback, you can install Flip4Mac WMVPlayer (www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm).If you also need to export WMV files to another format you have to buyFlip4Mac WMV Player Pro.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WMV EXPORT: if you want to export to WMV with Exportto Other Formats, the free Flip4MacWMV Player stops at 30 seconds; for full length export you have to buyFlip4Mac WMV Studio (www.flip4mac.com/wmv_studio.htm).
Video conversion is performed in the YUV color space; you can choose toscale video to any frame size using a professional 2D-FIR scaler(better than bicubic) but you can also leave it unscaled. Otheroptional video processing features include a powerful motion-adaptivedeinterlacer, a field dominance converter, a chroma reinterlacer and anoption to perform interlaced scaling instead of progressive scaling.Audio can be converted to uncompressed or to IMA, AAC, MP2 or AMR usingthe high-quality MP1/MP2/AC3/PCM built-in decoders of MPEG Streamclip;it is also kept in perfect sync with video using a timekeeping system.
MPEG Streamclip can save edited movies as MOV files, and (whenpossible) as AVI or MP4 files. Edited MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files are savedas MPEG or TS files.
MPEG Streamclip (with or without the MPEG-2 Playback Component) canalso convert MPEG-2 transport streams into muxed MPEG-2 files, forimmediate burning at full quality with Toast 6 or 7 and Sizzle; it canalso demux MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files and transport streams with MPEG,AC3, PCM audio to M2V and AIFF (or M1A or AC3) files, for immediateburning at full quality with DVD Studio Pro or Toast 6 and 7. A specialdemuxing option is available for Final Cut Pro 4/5: this applicationdoes not work well with M2V files, but MPEG Streamclip can write aspecial 'unscaled' M2V file that preserves full video quality whenimported into Final Cut Pro.
MPEG Streamclip can handle files and streams larger than 4 GB, split inany number of segments, or with multiple audio tracks, and can alsooptionally handle timecode breaks. It is compatible with MPEG-1 andMPEG-2 video, MPEG layer 1/2 (MP1/MP2) audio, AC3/A52 audio, and PCMaudio.
The player included in MPEG Streamclip lets you preview the files andtransport streams before doing the conversion; it also lets youvisually set the In and Out points for the conversion so you canconvert just the part of the file you are interested in, and also cutcommercials and other unwanted parts, or edit the stream and join twostreams with Cut/Copy/Paste.
MPEG Streamclip supports batch processing: just drag some files in thebatch list, choose a conversion and a folder, click the Go button andMPEG Streamclip will automatically convert all your files.
MPEG Streamclip is also compatible with most MPEG-2 devices that useprogram or transport stream files, including FireWire MPEG-2 deviceslike Sony IP7/MicroMV, Sony HDR-FX1 (www.sony.com)and JVC GR-HD1camcorders; DVHSrecorders; FireWire/Ethernet/USB set-top boxes or digital videorecorders, like EyeTV (www.elgato.com),ReplayTV, the Samsung SIR-T16,the Humax PVR-8000, the Homecast, the Technisat S2 and the Siemens M740AV; USB cameras like Panasonic SV-AV100, Sony T1 and JVC Everio(www.jvc.com);DVDcamcorders like Panasonic VDR-M70 and HitachiDZ-MV230. MPEG Streamclip is also compatible with most DVD recorders,since it can open and convert unencrypted VOB or VRO files, andsupports AC3 audio.
You can import transport stream files from FireWire MPEG-2 devicesusing DVHSCap or VirtualDVHS, two free applications available fromApple as part of the FireWire SDK 20(developer.apple.com/sdk).NOTE: the latest FireWire SDK is not publicly available, please scrolldown the list until you find the FireWire SDK 20, or click this directdownload link from Apple: FireWireSDK 20. Install the package and you will find DVHSCap andVirtualDVHS in /Developer/FireWireSDK20/Applications/.

'I am new to Mac so please forgive my ignorance. I have a Sony video camera which has .mpg files. I wanted to use these files in imovie so I googled how to convert them and came up with MPEG Streamclip. It wiped my MPEG-2 Playback Component. I downloaded it again from the Apple store but when I went to install it told me it was too old for my system. What can I do now?' A question from Apple Communities.
Many QuickTime users would come across playback errors now and then. Actually, QuickTime now only supports a few media file formats, including QTFF (QuickTime File Format), AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3, and MPEG program stream. With additional QuickTime components like MPEG-2 playback component, QuickTime could recognize ASF, DivX Media Format, Flash Video, Matroska, OGG and others. With the help of these codec component, you could watch almost all media files on QuickTime. The problem is that not a codec component would enable you to play all media files on QuickTime. So, is there any alternative to QuickTime playback component or even QuickTime? This guide would show you some solutions.
Part 1: Brief Introduction to MPEG-2 Playback Component
The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved into one track) and nonmultiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams.
MPEG-2 is the standard for the digital TV world due to its great performance in video compression. Its wonderful video compression that produces interlaced and progressive videos even allows for backward compatibility with MPEG-1. Meanwhile, the audio encoding is also available in MPEG-2. MPEG-2 audio compression provides for superior bit rates of up to 64kbps. As to the stream performance, MPEG-2 is able to combine different MPEG streams in a single transmission stream.
QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component supports a number of files such as mpg, mpeg, vow, vroom, m2v, m2a, and m2s. Audio files supported by this component are any of the above files that contain audio layer 1 or 2. This component could also play back non-protected DVD discs as well.
As to its disadvantages, any MPEG file that has a PCM, DTS, or AC3 audios are not supported. Meanwhile, any disc with a CSS protection is not supported by this MPEG-2 playback component.
