Apple Mpeg2 playback component

[macuser1960]

I bought a new computer lately because my old one gave up.

When i bought my new Mac Pro 2.8 Quad Core, Leopard was installed.
I've upgraded it to 5.6, downloaded and all my favourite programs again (universal Binary).

When i wanted to run MpegStreamclip 1.9.2 it went wrong.
No images and i needed to install Mpeg2 playback Component for Quicktime.

Because me old computer was gone, including my harddrive i've got some new codecs from a friend.

I'm running Quicktime Pro v1.0.1
And i have 2 codecs but they don't work both of them.

These are the versions:



Can anyone tell me or explain why i can not run Mpeg2streamclip anymore?
Or can anyone tell me if i have the right ones?
Also Mplayer is having troubles too in ffmpegX when trying to crop or using decode with Quicktime.

I'm going nuts after 3 weeks and i need to get these programs running.

Thanks in advance

Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 component is sold for download at Apple's online store. If you previously bought a copy you should still be able to log in and download it again. Please do not steal software.

Thanks for your answer but it seems you can't read.

1.) It's simple too buy a copy from the store, for that i did'nt need help.
2.) I've bought a copy a long time ago....i don't buy a new one. Just spend 2500 euros on a new computer.
3.)I don't know and have my apple ID anymore.
4.) I only wanted to know if the components i've listed are the ones. And if so why don't they work.

I wonder if everything installed on your computer is legal!
If so you are a saint. Probably also the only one who does not have stolen software!

/Library/QuickTime/ is not the correct location for Apple's own components. An installer would have put it in /System/Library/QuickTime/ .

I also run version 1.01 (v220) and it works fine for me....

My apologies for the offense. When someone posts they are trying to install commercial software they received from a friend – yet they don't have the installer – it does hint of stealing. I did give you the benefit of the doubt by pointing out it can be downloaded again by logging into the Apple Store. Sorry you forgot your Apple ID and didn't save a copy of the installer as a backup.

My advice to you is to be more aware of how you describe things in your posts so that it doesn't look the way yours came across.

Your turn....

If the software on my computer wasn't free, I either bought it or gave a donation for it. Not a saint but I think the people behind the software should be supported for there efforts.

It was my turn wasn't it?

[macuser1960]

Thanks for the advice Case,

The quicktime was moved to system/library/quicktime

But i give up....still no images with Mpeg streamclip.
I even tried it with an older version.

This is a nice computer.....but having so much difficulties running programs on it.
Missing my PPC sometimes.

Any ideas why everything goes wrong?

Bet you are running Adobe Creative Suite 4, paid for your license?

[MacDSL]

Why would I pay for a license when I work for a corporation that bought a Volume License for me to use?

[MacDSL]

And, not just the Creative Suite 4, but the Master Collection too! Corporations are not all bad........

AppleMPEG2Codec.component (v. 220 on my system) is installed with iMovie '08 and probably by iMovie '09 for only importing mpeg-2 from camcorder. So, do not confuse with the Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 component bought on The Apple Store to play mpeg-2 with QT Player...

To get this back on track and away from who is stealing or not stealing what,
to the OP (original Poster) it doesn't work, because it isn't properly
installed, and a necessary reciept wasn't written to the proper
place, thus insuring your legal use of the codec.

Simply put, yes you have the codec, but NO, you do not have it
installed CORRECTLY using an Apple installer, which authorizes
the codec first via Admin password, then writes a reciept to the
proper folder.

If I were you, I'd call apple direct and get them to
send you a link back to download the installer,
by using the Credit Card you paid for the item with.
(Apple Store purchases can be tracked by either Account ID,
Web Order #, or the Credit Card you used to purchase said item).

And in the future, do two things:
One, make a PDF of ANYTHING you order online, so you will
have a reciept showing your user name, credit card used
and web order, in case you need to download it again.
and two,
Learn to use the Migration feature in Leopard.
Had you done this from old mac to new mac,
you wouldn't even been asking this question.
