MPEG Streamclip, a solution for continued use... I saw this query posted by another users on this forum: "So the latest Mac OS update no longer supports MPEG Streamclip. I have been using it for a very long time to make subclips from much larger files. Anyone have any software recommendations on what to use instead?" I have a 2014 5K iMac which I deliberately keep on High Sierra, so I can (just barely) still run MPEG Streamclip to this day. I know eventually this program will "bite the dust" when my iMac passes away, and I will need to upgrade to an M1, M2 or M3 Apple machine. But even when this happens, there is one fallback I still have on hand. I have two PC laptops (an Intel Celeron, and a Core i7) running Windows 10, that I managed to install MPEG Streamclip for Windows. The MPEG Streamclip Windows installer prompts specific instructions on what needs doing for a successful installation, which I followed to the Tee. On both of my laptops, it works fine. This is just my 'additional' solution for those diehards who love this old but fantastic program, but who now face the likely prospect of not being able to run MPEG Streamclip on Mac OS again. Dear Moderator, I realise this isn't exactly an "Apple Mac solution", and I modified my post to hopefully now meet your regulations. I hope you understand that it is useful information for many of us Mac users.

I prefer Quicktime Player which is included with the system.

For 3rd party players VLC is very good.
