Mpeg1 export PPro CS4 Mac

[Tim Kolb]

Yes…it appears that MPEG1 has been set adrift on its flaming funeral barge as far as the Adobe Media Encoder is concerned.

I also had many uses for MPEG1 and loved its universal package of compatible mediocrity…

However, I have found that Windows Media Files do run at least as well as MPEG1 in Power Point (this is assuming you can say that any video really “runs well” in Power Point with a serious look on your face…).

I’m sure there are likely shareware apps out there that will still create MPEG1 files…or I think Grass Valley ProCoder might.

I agree with Tim, Windows Media would be the best candidate here.

Of course, there is the issue of giving the client what they want, and the fact that it may not be compatible on the Mac side of Powerpoint.

My advice would be a copy of Tmpeg Encoder

Above, the free version, and below a more complete commercial version.

Tmpeg Express.

But of course, I missed the whole point of this post, being that you are on a Mac.

Thanks for the input guys, mpeg1 not the tastiest or trendiest of codecs I know – but the piper calls the tune and all that. I’m still left pondering the anomaly that Adobe seemed to have lit the funeral pyre for the old codger of s codec on the Mac version of CS4, but not on the PC – I light heartedly wonder whether they have finally fried it cross platform in CS5!?

Thanks also for the FFMpeg link.
