The most flexible way will cost you $20 - that' s the price of
Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component.
With that installed, you can use the wonder - and free - program
MPEG Stream Clip to export the video to dv.
Hi Luis,
If I buy this MPEG2 Playback component, will I then definitely be
able to convert the MPEG video to DV ?
Will it convert any MPEG video file or just certain ones ?
Amber
I have this component installed and I can convert MPEG2 files to dv,
to quicktime movies, etc., using the free MPEG Stream Clip.
For using with iMovie, either export directly to DV (File->Export to
DV...) or export to Quicktime and select the appropriate DV codec.
I can also view these MPEG2 files (but not edit them) in QuickTime
Player
(which is why they call it *playback* component; even QT PRO - which
I have - cannot edit MPEG2).
Of course, I cannot guarantee that this will work with *any* files;
but since you can already play your files, you can probably confirm
in VLC if they are indeed MPEG2 and,
if so, this procedure will most likely work.
