mpeg2 export in FCP 5 without DVDstudio

[Joseph Bradley]

if you’re going to launch it to veiw it you need to remember that mpeg2 is a dvd format. if you don’t want DVD studio to view it then get another mpeg2 supported veiwer and set it as the default player.

If you have Compressor you should be able to at least encode an MPEG2 file without having DVDSP. I just don’t know if you can get Compressor without having to buy DVDSP. QT 7 Pro will allow you to play back MPEG2 files but I can’t see an MPEG2 export component within Quicktime. The closest thing is MPEG4, but that’s not what you want.

If you want to do an export with Quicktime go to the Apple website & install the component that says
‘Reinstall Quicktime 7.01 over 7.04’

This will add the capability of exporting MPEG2 files from QT 7.01 as QT 7.04 they have removed that feature
