QT MPEG2 add on barely works! help!

[rotuts]

Well i finally got my MPEG2 editor ad on from Apple for QTPro

it barelyworks. most of the time I get the spining colored circle, and have to do a force quit. sometimes its open a file, but the various movie bars ( play spot, and the edit bars) move like molassas or not at all.

is thiss right? Im OS 10.3.4 and QT 6.5

as it stands its worthless to me. I have MPEG2 files Ive been recording from m6y DIVCO HDTV card and bought MPEG2 add on to edit them and convert them to smaller files. MPEG Streamclip just does the whirling colored circle and doen't open any ting

any healp much apprecieated.

Sounds to me like you're opening mpeg-2 video files and not vobs. Only really works if you open vobs.

On smaller systems like mine, QT takes a long time to open longer m2v and mp2 files. I get the spinning wheel too, but if you wait it out, the window eventually opens up. However, QT won't let you edit an mpeg2 file.
