‘m2v1’ conversion???????

[Jaap Verdenius]

There are a few threads on this issue at http://www.mindsuburbia.net/2008/08/28/70/ and on discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8280037. The guy who had the same problem as you was working on OS 10.1 or something. Which version OS, FCP and QT are you using?

I am totally updated in OSX and Quicktime. I tried Streamclip, Perian,Mpeg2-Playback QT, VLC and DiVX. I have read all the google links that I could so CC was my last resort. I am at a loss a this point.

Steamclip does work for this, so I would have to imagine that some degree of pilot error is involved that is causing you to thnk it doesn’t work.

Trying an app and using it properly are often two separate things. So, why don’t you try to give us the exact details of your methodology and settings using Streamclip and perhaps we can guide you properly along your way.

Meanwhile, since we’re forced to guess, my guess would be that you’re choosing Streamclip’s option to output to DV instead of Quicktime DV.

The guy in the mindsuburbia forum mentioned editing the .mov with a hex editor (like 0xed).
He searched for m2v1, found the string twice, replaced it with mp2v, saved and then it worked – that’s what he wrote.

Did you try that?

jaap- you were right on OxED. I changed a couple of letters to mp2v and the clips played fine.Thanks

I used 0xed, searched for m2v1 and replaced both occurrences with mp2v and saved, and my mac still can’t read the video for these files. what am i missing here?
