MPEG-2 is a lossy source (meaning that visual data has been removed in order to compress the video). Also Handbrake is not recommended for doing those conversions, as Handbrake says it itself: How do I use HandBrake to import my DVD into iMovie? We strongly recommend against doing this. MPEG Streamclip saves one transcoding process if one uses the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component. Click to expand.Handbrake is not the ideal way of converting MPEG-2 video if one wants to edit that footage. Screenshots: MPEG Streamclip export options Handbrake export as.mp4 - example. This saves you one encoding process, therefore time and image quality loss. Then either export it as QuickTime with the DV codec or AIC or as DV file as explained in step 1. Get the for 20USD, open MPEG Streamclip, in there go to File Open DVD and select your VideoTS folder on your HDD. Then use to convert/export the.avi or.mp4/.m4v file to a QuickTime (.mov - CMD+E) file encoded with the DV codec or the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) or to a DV file (CMD+OPTION/ALT+E). Get and convert the footage to either an.avi file with the Xvid codec (2-pass or Constant Quality of 100% and highest bitrate for video and audio) or an.mp4/.m4v file with the H264 codec (the same as with Xvid). Now there are two ways to convert the MPEG-2 compressed footage. If it is not copy protected, you might be just able to copy the VideoTS folder onto your HDD. OR In order for you to edit your videos stored on the video DVD, you need to rip it via / /, if the video DVD is copy protected (all commercial video DVDs are). You can also skip Handbrake and use MPEG-Streamclip for converting directly to a DV/AIC encoded.mov file from the ripped video DVD, but you need the QuickTime MPEG-2 component (19USD) to be able to access the MPEG-2 encoded video DVD footage via MPEG-Streamclip.īut it would save one encoding process. After that you can use MPEG-Streamclip to convert the compressed video file to a.mov file encoded with the DV codec (or AIC - Apple Intermediate Codec), a codec iMovie can read and is meant for editing, as it stores every frame and takes up approx. Then there is Handbrake to convert the ripped DVD to a file 4 and.avi with MPEG-4 codecs like Xvid and H264, which are not meant for editing though, as they don't store every frame of the video (video DVDs use MPEG-2 as a codec, which also only stores every 15th frame and the frames in between are approximations).
There is MacTheRipper, RipIt and Fairmount to rip (copy the DVD to your HDD while removing the copyright protection) the video DVD to your HDD. Click to expand.Copied from one of the many threads: Mroogle would have answered that question for you many and plenty of times. If you use you will find plenty of threads about this issue, I'm just too lazy to find my (again and again) pasted posts to copy them and past them here. H264 and its compressive sisters are not. You could use Handbrake first, and then MSc to convert to.mov files using the DV codec or the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as those are meant for editing. If neither is the case, then MPEG Streamclip (MSc)will not help you to convert those files.
UNINSTALL MPEG STREAMCLIP FOR MAC HOW TO
So any detailed help walking me through how to get from my.VOB files to a place where I can easily open them up in iMovie for editing would be greatly appreciated.vob and.mov files are only containers for a variety of codecs (glasses for different liquids if you want).vob files usually use MPEG-2 as a codec, which can't be read my MPEG Streamclip, unless you have Final Cut (Studio/Pro) or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component installed. I am in the process of trying to edit customer focus group video down to a manageable 3 minutes of important customer feedback to be shared with executives at my place of work. But some experts at my place of work suggested I use Streamclip to convert these files to.MOV. 3) Then, I hit 'OK' and I get 'Error: Can't create the file' None of these steps are intuitive to me as I am not a video file professional.
UNINSTALL MPEG STREAMCLIP FOR MAC MOVIE
I am not sure what the suggested 'fix' does, but it seems to be the right thing to do? 2) Once opened, I went to File on the menu and choose 'Export to Other Formats.'Īnd I choose QuickTime Movie from the dropdown. I opened them, and 'fixed' them in Streamclip. Here is what I have been able to do so far. I am trying to convert files with the extension of.VOB to.MOV files to be used in a simple editing exercise in iMovie.
