MPEG StreamClip |
You can use MPEG Streamclip to: open most movie formats including MPEG files or transport streams; play them at full screen; edit them with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim; set In/Out points and convert them into muxed or demuxed files, or export them to QuickTime, AVI, DV and MPEG-4 files with more than professional quality, so you can easily import them in Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Toast 6 or 7, and use them with many other applications or devices. Requires Quicktime MPEG2 Decoder or Quicktime Alternative 1.81 installed for MPEG2/DVD decoding.

Great! I struggled for hours trying to assist my youngest daughter who recorded some video for a school project. First, I exported the VRO file to disk. Then, I attempted to find an editor - and it wasn't going well. I was mistakenly told that a VRO file could be edited. When I attempted to do so, the roadblocks started appearing.. It seems that when I got it into an editor or authoring app, many of the scenes were missing. The entirety of the clip played in the respective editors, but isolating the various shots she had taken made it all a puzzle. Next, researching.. There were indications on the net that I needed to get it into MPEG format. Well, I changed the extension as some suggested. No good. Same problems... and more.. Then some kind fellow led me to this app by posting a link. It's small, clean.. GREAT minimal help file. As soon as I loaded my VRO file to attempt a conversion to MPEG, the app asked if I wanted to repair the timecode breaks. Yes. A minute later it was loaded.. Everything was in chronological order, just as my daughter shot it.. all in-sync. The editing is easily accomplished, cut, paste, trim, frame by frame, all done by keyboard or mouse.. Simple. So, here I am.. My daughter will be home soon from school wondering how she will get this project finished in time.. And with StreamClip installed.. I have the tools and knowledge to help... and I'm grateful for that!

QuickTime Pro is NOT required and, in fact, has nothing to do with the functions or capabilities of MPEG Streamclip; rather, it's the Apple MPEG2 Codec that is needed but -[i]only[/i] if you want to decode MPEG2 video (and let MPEG Streamclip convert it to some other format). If you're converting AVI to MPEG4, for example, the MPEG2 codec isn't even needed. QuickTime Pro unlocks certain features in the export/save capabilities of QuickTime Player (which has nothing to do with what MPEG Streamclip uses).

On XP I've been using v1.2, the first version of this tool I've ever used. I give it 7 out of 10. About 20% of the time it freezes up when I'm scrubbing back and forth on the timeline, and I have to kill it with the Windows Task Manager. Occasionally it just crashes completely with an error. When it works, it works well. There is a function "Go to Keyframe". Does it go to the next key frame or the nearest key frame? Who knows. It would benefit from "Go to Next Keyframe" and "Go to Previous Keyframe". To get full use out of it you have to pay Apple $20 for their horrible MPEG Quicktime plugin. It also lets you mark IN and OUT points on the timeline and you can save the selected region in a number of formats. The problem here is it doesn't honor your IN and OUT points exactly. I think it processes keyframe-to-keyframe but you don't know where they are exactly. Finally, it will load an MPG file quickly, but if you de-mux to M2V and an audio file, and then try to load the M2V file back in, it takes 10 times as long to load as the MPG file did. That has to be a bug. So 7 out of 10. Maybe a 6.

This app just keeps getting better although in very small steps now because it's already a wonderful utility that's stable and permits lots of configuration/adjustments. Maybe one day I'll be able to donate some $$ to the cause instead of just praising the app and its author. My kids use this app to convert the ".mod" files from their Everio camcorder over to DV so they can then edit them in iMovie.

Super tool for TS format converting! - as i use dreambox, this program converted recorded files into true MPG format in couple minutes.

Just downloaded this last week. It is a great programme very easy to use with great results. Transfered some avi files to my imac to edit on Final Cut Express with excellent results. Don't waste your time (and money) with the other software being sold Use this. Highly recommended!!!

This is the only piece of Software I have come across that can convert .ts files to other file formats with no loss of audio sync. I cannot recommend this tool too much. If for example you want to get TV programmes recorded in .ts format (Humax PVR) onto your ipod, then this is the tool. What's great is that you can edit the file and then output a trimmed down .ts followed by a MP4 file for your ipod. Stream Clip and the equally excellent VLC is all I need edit and view my TV material.

Just a clarification for those Mac users who need to do conversion -from- MPEG2. You do NOT need QT Pro (and that won't help anyway). What you DO need is Apple's MPEG2 component. This does not come with QT Pro and has nothing to do with QT Pro. These are separate products.

The only tool I know to cut and paste video without rendering. Excelent.

I have been using this program for a couple of weeks and find it very useful for working with .VRO files on DVD-RAM discs from my DVD recorder. I have also used it to select clips from VOB's on DVD-RW discs. I do frame accurate editing with something else, but this is good for transferring clips from disc to computer and de-multiplexing. The only problem I have with it is that the slider control is very sluggish, which makes selecting a clip rather frustrating sometimes. To clarify some other comments: It's only Apple users who must pay to get MPEG-2 support. If a Windows XP user wants to pay Apple for Quicktime Pro, that's his/her call, but there is another choice if one uses Windows XP. MPEG Streamclip's documentation also recommends Quicktime Alternative 1.81 for Windows XP users. It's free and easily downloaded, and it seems to work just fine for me. As a side note, lot of people like Media Player Classic, which is included with Quicktime Alternative.

I'm not use MPEG StreamClip for MPEG-2 editing. Reason, as previous comments - it's depend from QT Mpeg-2 payable component. I'm use MPEG StreamClip only for QT files editing (cut, split, merge and change container, sometime other). Under Windows, we have other tools for MPEG-2 editing. But for QT files...

Perhaps I could have chosen better terms than "demoware" or "crippleware", but I couldn't think of one at the moment....but I still want to underscore that the point of my review is not a jab or ding at the app, but to point out, for newbies, that out of the box, not to expect a freeware Mpeg-2 editor, but to re-iterate that although the description above says so, without the QT Mpeg-2 codec, and an outlay of $20, Mpeg-2 editing ( ie. ripped movies from DVDs, .Vobs downloaded from the internet) will not be possible. And I don't ding the author nor lay the fault of the additional outlay of cash on his doorstep. It is solely Apple's discretion and decision to make users pay the fees for Mpeg-2 licensing through the purchase of the add-on codec, rather than raise the price of the Operating System by $20 to compensate for the Mpeg-2 licensing fees, which I'd rather see IMHO. To the author of this app's credit, he explains this nicely on his website. However the description above on this page should be re-written to reflect "For Mpeg-2 editing, you will also need to purchase the QT Mpeg-2 codec from Apple.com". Again, rumple, my good friend and I quibble over small stuff but we both agree that it is a hands down awesome tool to get the things you need done, and often far easier than Apple's own Quicktime Pro will allow. A worthy tool in your video editing toolbox.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with terryj's evaluation of this app simply because I don't like using the terms "crippleware" or "demoware" when describing this app. True - one must purchase the MPEG2 component from Apple in order to do anything with media using that codec but for anything like converting AVI's over to H264 for iPod and AppleTV, it's a solid performer that may be tweaked to output what you require. But as the MPEG2 component is Apple's and it's Apple that's taking your money, I can't ding Squared5 for not providing that functionality. MPEG Streamclip is free and I can't even get the developer to accept any donations! If I can't do something on my Mac that requires two separate tools working in concert and one of them is being given to me for free, do I complain that that developer should have given me the other, as well? Anyway, I'm not meaning to start an argument and I mean no offense in anything I've written here. I just think that users should understand that sometimes they have to spend a few dollars (and send off a thank you to the developers who provide free tools). :D

I'm posting this because people tend to get confused on this software. It really isn't FREEWARE, but more like Cripple Ware or DemoWare. If you are looking for an easy to use Mpeg Editor, it is by far a great choice on the mac. However, you will need to buy the Quicktime Mpeg-2 component to make it work, which is an additional cost of $20 US. Otherwise you'll be limited to editing only Mpeg-4 (ipod video) or Mpeg-1 (VCD video). .VOB files, which you rip from a DVD, are Mpeg-2 transport streams, and they require the QT Mpeg-2 Component. Outside of that, it is a very easy to use editor and transcoder, and can get many things done easily to help you make your own videos or DVDs.

I tried other tools to join mpeg movies like HJSplit, iMovie, Quicktime (free version). StreamClip worked like a charm. Mike

Someone recommended this tool for a problem HD *.ts clip. The only free tool I could find to fix the large file. The only knock I have on this app is the slider to scroll through your file is quirky, ackward, not very smooth and often gets stuck on various points of the file. Improve the functionality of the slider and this is a great and perfect 10 from the Russian judge.

Excellent! The only thing I would like to have is to read .ISO file correctly.

This is a correction to my last post. I had stated that MPEG Streamclip is donationware; in fact, it is simply freeware at this time. I had erroneously remembered donating to Squared5 (it was another app). I've been in contact with the author to ask how I might donate and he advises that this might be possible sometime later in the year. All other aspects of my original comments are accurate: The app is wonderful: Stable, fully-featured, produces high-quality output, and the author will accept suggestions for future development. What's not to like?
|
|||||||||||||||
How is it possible that this app could have gotten any better? Well, Squared5 has actually managed to add more "tweaking" abilities but, more importantly, the already-fine quality of the output is even better. One should not overlook the excellent "batch" mode that is simplicity itself. Hey, readers; don't forget that this is donationware. Every time Squared5 issues a new release that makes me come here and sing its praises, I also head over to PayPal and make a donation to support his work.

german: Ein wunderbares Tool, es hat mich in letzter Not gerettet. Hatte schon tausend andere Tools ausprobiert (mein Problem war ein beschädigtes MPEG-file, das sich weder demuxen noch schneiden lassen wollte). Auch Project-X, das sonst sehr gut ist, stieg immer an der gleichen Stelle aus. MPEG StreamClip war wirklich das einzige, was noch geholfen hat. Konnte sogar das ganze mpg-File retten! english: Thank you, Mr Unknown Developer, for your gorgeous tool! It is easy to use, very stable, has an undo-function (great!) and works absolutely fantastic. This tool did rescue me after all. Thanks again!

Not bad at all, especially for beginners. Certainly easy to use. The "create TS" option didn't exactly create a Transport Stream with the proper PIDs, however. Still, a very simple to use tool that only requires Quicktime or Quicktime Alternative to work. Combines some features of ProjectX with some features of VirtualDub. Converts to many different formats.

Hi, This is an excellent program that actually makes Quicktime Pro for Windows deliver what we all thought it would (but didn't). The encoders are very tweakable and it will utilize 3ivx if you already have it. Presets are easy to configure and set up to make templates for various different encoding tasks. Most importantly the finished files have perfect A/V Sync unlike many of the other freeware "Swiss Army Knife" encoders. Being able to set in and out points is a real asset compared to many of the other freeware encoders as well. Kudos to the author of this excellent Quicktime enhancer.
