Converting MPEG Video Files for Video iPod Using QuickTime Pro (Mac Only)

QuickTime






If you attempt to export an MPEG file for Video iPod using QuickTime Pro‘s export preset for iPod, you are most likely to get an error. Even if you somehow manage to export a file, it will have no audio. That’s because QuickTime doesn’t separately recognize the audio layer of a multiplexed video file.

This 5-minute video tutorial shows how to use QuickTime Pro (v. 7.2) and Squared 5’s MPEG Streamclip (freeware) to convert MPEG video files for Video iPod. Note that handling MPEG files with QuickTime Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip requires that you have MPEG-2 Playback QuickTime Component. The original MPEG video clip comes from Internet Archive.

    1. I am trying to join your site but it seems that the login will not accept my password which I originally established (today). How do I proceed?
      Thanks.
      PS. I learned about StreamClip from the Apple OnetoOne help line yesterday. I have downloaded your 1.8 and 1.9 beta (which I understand is for QT Pro). I am trying to find that 30+ page text on how to use StreamClip.
      Thanks

      If you are talking about a blog account, we were forced to trash all of them as an anti-spam comment measure.
