Got the mpeg2 plugin for QT, but I'm unable to open .eyetv files with QT or any other software except for eyetv for that matter.Will try one more time here, Winston. (Storm just came through and killed a 4 hour 40 minute conversion in-progress, as well as, my answer to your post. In any case... Strange! folder sent to me and purported to be EyeTV capture files folder (3 executable, 1 MPEG-2/M2P/AC3 muxed file with MPG extension, and 1 TIFF file) allowed me to open (but not play) the MPG in QT Player and StreamClip. However, now that you mention it, I do see some inconsistencies.
I'm guessing your file is broadcast with a 4:3 flag whereas mine has a 16:9 flag, I'm also guessing the broadcasters have added the black bands to a WS movie to make it fit thier broadcast standard rather than them being a result of a 16:9 flag in a fixed sized window, which (forgive me if I'm wrong) I feel you might have been assuming.Thanks for the input. Tend to agree with you regarding the recoding. Not sure where Arnd is located -- somewhere on "the Continent" I assume. As indicated, I am not an EyeTV user and this was my first contact with such files. Was surprised that you came up with another variation on audio content also. I take it you have no sync problems?
wondering if I moved my mpeg2 plugin to my new mac or not, can't think right now, how do I find out if it's installedThe "QuickTimeMPEG2.component" normally installs in the root "System > Library > QuickTime" folder of your start-up drive.

The mp4 format is for the purpose of controlling
content. If anything, it would have been nice if
Apple iTunes supported mpeg2, but that wouldn't fly
with their content providers that own the
copyrights.
