  No mpeg2 option in QT

  Posted by Sean Keenan on August 13, 2009 at 5:08 am

  I’ve always exported to mpeg2 file using Quicktime Conversion, but I’ve recently discovered I do not have this option in Quicktime any more. I painstakingly re-installed Final Cut Studio 2, thinking something got corrupted, but this did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

  My system:
  MacPro
  Mac OS 10.5.8
  Quicktime 7.6.2

  MPEG-2 has not been available in QuickTime for some time. I think the went with 7.3 or something. You have to use Compressor for MPEG-2 encoding.

  All the best,

  Thanks for your quick response. I had upgraded from Final Cut Studio 1 a few months ago, and I know for sure FCS1 & QT gave the option for mpeg2. I never used Compressor, but I guess now I’ll need to use it.
