I am trying to create a DVD. Last year I purchased the QuickTime mpeg-2 playback software component from the Apple website. I was using the program called 'MPEG Streamclip' so that I could edit some video clips I had on my computer and ultimately create this DVD. The problem is, my MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to support export to MPEG-2 even though I bought the Quicktime MPEG-2 component from the Apple website. The export to MPEG and 'Convert to TS' is grayed out. Why would this be?
My video is a quicktime video that was encoded with the MPEG-4 codec from another editing program called HyperEngine-AV. But I also had this same problem with another quicktime video I had made from imovie earlier. MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to be able to convert these videos to MPEG-2. I just thought it would be nice if MpegStreamclip could export to Mpeg-2 and create the necessary audio_TS files and the video_TS files ready to burn to a video DVD.
I am not an expert at this but I thought that in order to create a DVD, the video must be able to be exported as an MPEG-2 file.
The name of the component I purchased was:
QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK-MAC OS X-INT
(it downloads as: QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg)
And so to check that I have installed the Quicktime MPEG-2 component correctly I would like to ask:
Where should Quicktime MPEG-2 component be installed on a Mac?
Here is where it is on my Mac:
nameofharddrive/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeMPEG2.component
nameofharddrive/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeMPEG2.component
Are these the correct locations for it?
What might I be doing incorrectly?
Thank you for any suggestions,
