Changing bitrate on m2v-files in OS9???

[scavenga]

Is this possible or what? I've been searching this forum, the web, and everywhere else - I've even bought the "open your mpeg-2 in Quicktime"-key from Apple, but it won't export...

Any apps, anything that'll work?

Trying to fit some footage onto a DVD-R, but forgot to calculate before converting to mpeg-2, and I've erased the original files and tapes...

Thanks in advance

I don't think that there are many OS 9 users on this forum anymore...

Anyone???

Video on OS 9 is dead (not that it was ever that alive). OS X and open sourced software have lured everyone to greener pastures. This being said, I think you can do it with the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback component and the MPEG2 Exporter from DVDSP. You open the m2v in QT Pro, export the entire thing to DV, then add the video to the sound track, and trim as necessary, and then export the video and audio back to DVD format. At least that's how it works in OS X, and I believe those components are available for OS 9. But seriously, if you're doing any work with video, you'll be much happier with the solutions available for MacOS X. If QT can't export from m2v to DV, there's always MacMpeg2Converter.
