Still trying to master converting files correctly...mpeg stream clip not working, see shot below:
...has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it? What am I doing wrong? thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Final Cut Pro X
IS thus your .m2v or .m4v file that was converted from a camera original? Don't think Streamclip can do this. Could you post the media sorbs from the QT player again?
My question is what format are you trying to convert this to?
Russ
Depends on what you're trying to do and whether or not Streamclip can do it. It's actually a very narrowly focused app, does a couple of things very well (opens, plays, converts, downloads) and little else.
But questions about the product need to be addressed to the publisher, Squared 5.
Converter features:
– from MPEG, MPG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, DCM, VDR, PVR, TS, M2T, MTS, MMV, REC, VID, AUD, AVR, TP, TP0, TRP, TOD
to MPEG, TS, REC, VID, M2V, AIFF, M1A, AC3
– multiplexing of M2V, M1V, MPV files with AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3 files
to MPEG, TS, REC, VID, M2V, AIFF, M1A, AC3
(just open the M2V or M1V file, and the audio file with the same name will be multiplexed on the fly).

Hi Russ, trying to convert from m4v to apple pro res 422? I have a feeling that my files are too large a 8.62GB. These are clips from a seminar. Thanks
Hi Tom, presume you the original file info, here it is:
trying to get m4v to apple pro res...think maybe the file is too big for streamclip?
SStreamclip can do this format. What drive exactly is this file on? How is it formatted?
THat's the Finder info. Not the QT player info which had more information.
FRom rom you drive descriptions in an earlier thread I don't think you have the capacity for ProRes, but if you do that would be great. ProRes 1080 depending on the frame rate uses about 115GB/hour and needs a fast drive for playback.
I don't think that Streamclip is phased by the file size. It may not like something else about the file, but size shouldn't be an issue.
So you have any software updates listed in the App Store?
Russ
Hi Tom,
this is an m4v file which is most likely not a direct from camera file but a converted file. See inspector details from Quicktime attached:
I must be doing something wrong, maybe I haven't installed the mpeg stream clip correctly or something?
EWhat version is it? Should be 1.9.3b8.
Hi Tom,
in reference to the drive, the file was sent to me on an external drive which I have copied to the desktop. I am currently accessing a macbook pro i7 2.5 GHz 8GB RAM. I'd doubt that the iMac in my college would cope any better. Maybe this is not adequate enough for apple pro res if not what other file type could I convert these m4v files to so that I can use them in FCPX? Thanks
Version as detailed below:
WWhat's that?
that is the mpeg stream clip version as below:
version 1.9.3b8
TThat's the disk image and it's in the trash. The application is in the Applications folder, right?
yes the application is in the applications folder:
