Is Meg-2 a legacy video format?

I have Canon MXF video which Quicktime says it is MEG-2 video. MEG-2 is neither on the list of 64 bit codecs or legacy 32 bit codecs.

Is it a legacy format and going away after Mojave?

Determine codec Legacy status How do I determine if my clips use legacy codecs? The names seem to be different in different places. For example, FCP X 10.4.4 gives me these names for codecs: 'avc1' GoPro AVC encoder XAVC Long 422/10 50Mbps Quicktime Player, lists all as H.264. So does that make them non-Legacy codecs? Just to get more interesting FCP X lists a codec as XAVC Long 420/8 10Mbps and Quicktime lists it as XAVC Long GOP. Is that the same as what Apple lists as "XAVC (including XAVC-S)"?

is 'avc1' a supported video file codec? After seeing the Apple message that some codecs will not be supported in future OS releases, I've begun to identify which of my 6TB of video will need to be dealt with. One very common codec is 'avc1' and it seems possibly the same as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. What is 'avc1' and will it be supported?

Do you mean MPEG-2? If so, yes, that's the standard compression format for a DVD burned as a movie disk.
