I have a sony vidoe camer which saves videos as MPG files. These are not readable by quicktime, iPhoto or iMovie. How can I convert them to files I can use?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
MPEG Streamclip (free) and the $20 Apple MPEG-2 playback component can convert your files.
Thanks QuickTimeKirk,
. I have downloaded streamclick, but reluctant to shell out $20 unless it is really going to work. The files are MPG not MPEG and MPG is not listed in the file format supported by Streamclick, does it really work?
I can export to DV MOV and MP4 from streamclick but non of the files is recognised b the Mac. I am running OS 10.7.4.
Have you tried the free media player VLC ? It has an excellent reputation and can cope with most video formats.
How do you play MPG videos on the Mac?
