  can’t view avi (from mini DV capture on PC) in mpeg stream clip

  Posted by Patrick Stansberry on April 5, 2010 at 1:55 am

  I recently had some many dv tapes converted to avi files. I am going to convert them to mov. I am using mpeg streamclip. However, mpeg streamclip’s viewer will not show video but audio comes through. I can convert this file to mov but the video is not present post conversion as well thus it is not present in FCPro. I can open up this same avi file in Quicktime Player just fine. What settings should I be using? Why can’t I see the video before or after conversion?…it is present with Quicktime Player.

  Here are my settings:
  FCPro Summary
  Sequence Preset – DV NTSC 48khz

  MPEG Streamclip – Other Formats Settings:
  Format – QuickTime Movie
  Quality – 50%
  Frame Size – 720 X 480 (unscaled)
  Field Dominance – upper field first
  Interlaced Scaling is checked

  Under Options:
  Settings for Video:
  Compression Type – DV/DVCPRO – NTSC
  Frame Rate – Current
  Data Rate – Automatic
  Compressor Quality – Best
  Scan Mode – Interlaced
  Aspect Ration 4:3

  Filters – None

  Size:
  Dimensions – Compressor native
  Everything else is blank or unchecked

  MacPro Mac OS X (10.6.3) FCStudio 2 – FCPro 6.0.6

  Hi Patrick,
  MPGStreamclip offers a great feature. You can “rewrap” QT as AVI (or back) without rendering.
  See the option in “Save as..”.
  That works for the codecs supported by both formats (DV, DV50,..).

  About your issue;
  Sounds like a codec issue.
  What you get in the Info (Comm-I) when you open in QT?
