it looks liek media pipe is not present, yet i have it. Where should it go, i tried to find the /Users/mobodo/Library/Frameworks/MediaPipe.framework/Versions/A/MediaPipe but i dont even have a mobodo folder

whats going 0n, i cant even use this program and it looks like just what i need!

So, thinking its media pipe related, i trahsed what i had and reinstalled media pipe both locally and the system install.

Now it looks like its working, but the terminal says it requires developer tools (Which im downloading now)
so ill install that and see what happens.


Im just trying to get my .ac3 to mp2
i have my .m2v at 2500k/sec now, so once i get to mp2 i can mux them.

anyone know another way to convert to mp2 and then to mux other than missing mpeg tools?

I tried to have ffmpegx do it all in one swoop, encode video at 2500k/sec, add the audio which i selected the .ac3 and author as SVCD
but it says that it cant find the audio file and lists it as .mp2 when mine is .ac3 so it stopped afer encoding the video.

So now i have video at the rate i want for SVCD and need to get the audio to mp2 and then mux them.

Any help is appreciated

Hopefully that is
thanks

I really do not know much about the UNIX stuff imbedded in OSX, but I have found ffmpegx to be excellent. However I have had simular problems when I include a number in the name of the file I am converting. Try renaming the file.
As to encoding the mp2, select the "mp2' as the encoder and not ac3.

try using the presets and just tweak them to what you need.

I actually figured it out
1. Althought i had media pipe, it was on my 2nd HD (Not my system drive) So i reinstalled it to my system drive, and it works now.
2. Apparently you also need Apple Developer Tools, so i had to get that and install it also (1 gig install!!!)

now it works fine.
Thanks for your help

i gave ffmpegx a try and though it works great for mpeg2 encoding and mp2 encoding by them self, it has a really hard time muxing and keeping sync.

I kept getting errors left and rigth on the muxing.
Thanks
ill keep trying it

The docs for MediaPipe are not very clear, DO NOT install both "system" and "local"

To remove "local", open your home directory, open Library folder, trash MPipes folder. Also in Library, open Frameworks, trash MediaPipe.framework

To remove "system" open the Terminal and paste the following:
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/MediaPipe.framework
sudo rm -Rf /Library/MPipes

Also, there is an improved QuickTime Decoder pipe that will read mpeg2. It has a much better chance of getting correct frame rate, therefore in-sync encodes (about 90% success rate). This pipe is not included in the original download/install. Goto http://mediapipe.sourceforge.net/ look for November 10th QuickTime Decoder Pipe.

*********Does that mean i should uninstall the local and system install's i did. I could only get MMT to work when i did them!

********** Im new to using media pipe, i only know how to have MMT use media pipe, but ill download this and post back here when i get it and try to figure it out

OK definately need help. I downloaded the pipeline, which looks like a kitchen sink faucet icon. Where does it go? Double clicking on it seems to open media pipe, but there are no windows accessable and no ability to open anything.

Thanks for any help

OK, the "local" install is for one user systems, because it is installed in the users home directory. This also allows you to access the framework engine and MPipes folder with the Finder (drag-n-drop).

The "system" install is for multi-user login systems, therefore the installed files will require using the Terminal to access as admin user.

To update the QuickTime Decoder pipe, drop it into the MPipes folder. For local this is Home/Library/MPipes (use Finder).

For system, try something like sudo mv ~/Desktop/QuickTime\ Decoder.mpipe /Library/MPipes/QuickTime\ Decoder.mpipe

See why I prefer local install?

[galactica]

NO problem.
Since Im the only user i just deleted the system install and kept the local install.

My quesion now is
1. I went to drag and drop like you said, and low and behold there is one already in there with the same name! and its newer!?!?
(so i didnt replace it)
2. How does one use these pipes?? I've only ever used MMT which I guess links to media pipe and runs it in the background?
perhaps I am wrong.

How do i actually use this quicktime mpeg2 decoder pipe?

Is it any different than the quicktime mpeg2 support i have with quicktime??
