MPEG Streamclip 1.5

[havema-1]

New in this version:

- The new files that can be played, edited and exported are: MOV, DV, AVI, DivX, MP4; to open DivX files you have to install either the DivX codec, or the 3ivx codec, or the XviD codec. You can also open WMV files, if you buy Flip4Mac's WMV Player.

- You can set the 4:3 or 16:9 flag for DV export (useful for iMovie HD).

- You can export in ISO MPEG4 (MP4) format. You can use the H.264 codec, if you have QuickTime 7.

- Built-in "Save as AVI" feature.

- You can change the frame rate of the exported file, with optional frame blending.

- QuickTime 7-style AIF files are recognized.

- While in full screen mode, you can zoom the picture with the up/down arrow keys.

The Gods are smiling .. I hope this update plays well with QuickTime 7. Version 7 started playing sync tricks with my edited episodes of Threshold!

the join feature for .wmv files is pretty nice. but when you do this, you run into a big problem: the files will only work on a mac as it doesn't save the newly joined file as .wmv. maybe the developer can add "save as .wmv"

I guess since WMV support is dependent on that Flip4Mac thing, you might have to buy the WMV encoder they sell ... I have the encoder but not the player.

i have the full studio version of flip4mac. besides i don't wanna re-encode it

MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1b1 is out. ...just after I sent a report about the bug in two-pass encoding it was already fixed!

BTW, now MPEG Streamclip 1.5 can convert also DV material 4:3 <-> 16:9 while preserving interlacing! It can do the conversion with letterboxing or without letterboxing (but with cropping, of course).

For more details, check:

iMovie HD deinterlaces while doing its own 4:3 <-> 16:9 conversion and the colors are washed-out -- MPEG Streamclip does all this with good quality!

I wonder why Apple hasn't hired the MPEG Streamclip author. But, on the other hand, a corporate management could ruin all this...

Have you ever sent any of these little tidbits to Apple?
