MPEG Streamclip Encoding Loop
I’ve been searching all over and nobody seems to be having this problem. I open a file with MPEG Streamclip and export it as an H.264. I’ve done this hundreds of times in the past without any problems. The last couple months however, I export it, the progress bar comes up, it appears to be working and when the progress bar gets to 100%, it starts over from the beginning. It’s so frustrating and I feel like nobody else is having this problem.
Anybody come across this, and if so, do you know what’s causing this problem? I’ve gotten very small files to export properly, but if the clip is over a minute or so long, it ends up in what appears to be an endless loop.

Have you tried trashing the prefs or trying a different user on your computer?

I’ve had this issue on three different computers. One time, it was a co-worker, and I was showing him the program.
I have tried trashing my prefs and that didn’t help. It’s weird because I can export smaller files (under 50MB) fine, but when I get over a couple hundred MBs I get this loop. It’s only with H.264s too.

Dang, just had it happen on yet another computer. MacBook Pro OSX 10.7.3.
I took a 100GB 1920×1080 ProRes Mov. Opened it in MPEG Streamclip, set in/out and trimmed it. I then set it to encode to a MP4, H.264 video. I left the office at 5PM, came in at 7AM and the progress bar was at 23% and still chugging along. Basically, it was in a loop all night. The progress bar fills and it just starts over.
How come nobody else seems to be having this problem? Does nobody use this software anymore?

hey Nathan,
I’m having exactly the same problem with the same file formats.
I see this was a while ago, have you had any success?
thanks,
Rob

Hi everyone!
I had the same problema but figured it out!
You have to deactivate the check box that says: Multipass on Options.
Try that, at least that worked for me 😉 -
Having the same problem with streamclip – going Med 100 HD .mov to Mpeg4 720p. Took ages – perhaps 45 mins for a 1.5 min clip. I did have multipass selected but am now trying without. Perhaps I should stick with Compressor !
Believe what I see!

MPEG Streamclip is no longer in development. I believe it’s only 32 bit and may not take advantage of modern hardware accelerated encoding. You’d be much better off with Compressor.
