MPEG Streamclip 1.3

[havema-1]

MPEG Streamclip 1.3 has a lot of great new features:

You can export directly to AVI (Video for Windows); with the codecs DivX 5.1.1 or 3ivx D4 or XviD, and MPEG Layer 2 or Layer 3 audio, you can therefore make DivX or XviD compatible AVI files with MPEG Streamclip.

Support for dual processor computers has been added. For export, you can choose the audio format to be used; you can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, volume, and zoom the picture. Cropping is now available for DV, and has a new "Scale" option. You can enable auto two-pass encoding for the three codecs that support it (DivX, 3ivx, XviD). And you can save your export settings with the Preset Manager. The player no longer disappears while exporting: preview is shown in a new window. So you can play a stream while you are exporting it, or while you are exporting another stream. The option "Better Downscaling" is faster. And you can enable an option in preferences to speed up encoding of transport streams with data breaks.

You can export a frame from the stream as TIFF picture. You can open and multiplex M2V files not only with AIFF files, but also with M1A and AC3 files; you can open AIFF, M1A, AC3 files alone for audio-only conversion; you can open MOV files with MPEG tracks.

Copy and Paste commands have been added: using these commands together with Cut, you can copy, move and join parts of the same stream or different streams.

For the DreamBox and the Topfield, you can select a group of files and batch upload or download them all. The modification date of the files is preserved. For the Topfield, you can also batch upload or download a whole folder with all subfolders; and this version speeds up data transfer when exporting directly from the Topfield.

The folder "Extras" contains "Save as AVI", a QuickTime component that lets you edit AVI files in QuickTime Pro without reencoding them; and it also contains "Install Two DivX Versions", a script that lets you install two different versions of DivX in the same computer (for instance, version 5.1.1 and version 5.2.1).

There are new all-keyboard navigation options and support for the scroll wheel.
