Thanks for your answer.

The reason why I’m re-compressing using 1fps setting is because is way faster than doing it at 30fps.
The software is re-compressing 30 times less footage. What I need to do is to convert the fps player settings in quicktime from 1fps to 30fps.
I need to recompress my original files and I know that I’m going to use them way faster than how they were originally shot so I’m trying to take advantage recompressing less frames.

What I saw and was trying to download was this
Episode Engine Pro $8,450

Cool I’m going to try it.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I have some issues downloading the Telestream Episode Pro, so I couldn’t tested it. Anyway it’s so expensive than even if works I’m no going to be able to use it.

So far what is working better but not perfect is a software called AVS Video converter. It can read all my files even those ones that are causing crashes in Mpeg Streamclip, Quicktime Pro and Compressor.
To be honest I couldn’t find a pattern or a reason why some files can be exported with these software are why other don’t. All have been recorder with the same system, just the size vary.

The AVS Video converter let me recompress the files in Jpeg sequences at 1fps, so I get an speed up version 30 times faster than the original. After that I open the image sequence with Quicktime pro and then save it as a .mov . it’s a pain in the butt, but is working.

I’m not an expert in compression techniques but I’ve being involved in the Vfx Industry for the last 20 years as Digital Artist and VFX Supervisor. This is my work https://www.martinlazaro.com
My problem was due to the fact that I couldn’t use any other system to record my project except the XM-DVR Pro. This footage was extremely long, 800 hours recorded in a very harsh environment. And this system doesn’t have any settings for different compression.
I hope I can finish my project and post it here for you guys.

Thanks again.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough in my post.
This is the file description

MPEG2 Muxed 640×480 30fps
Is was recorded with this device
https://www.datatoys.com/xm-dvr.php

So far I tried FCP, Compressor, Adobe Premiere, Quicktime Pro, MPEG Streamclip, ffmpegX_0.0.9y.
I was able to re-compress some files but other just make all these softwares crash. Those file are not corrupted because I can play them in quicktime (I’ve installed the mpg2 Apple components)

I think the problem are de codecs on Mac. Correct me if I’m wrong but all these software use the same codecs, so if one fails the rest also fail.

I try to re-compress one of this problematic files using a Windows Application called AVS Video converter and It worked.

I’m going to try recompressing all the files using Windows and after that I’m going to edit them together in FCP
Which one is the best Window application for converting these huge amount of files?
Something equivalent to Apple Compressor.
Thanks
