It can stream over the Internet or play on a hardware player. It does not support chapters, captions, subtitles, metadata tags, or menus. On Windows, it opens in Windows Media Player. MPEG files almost always open in the operating system's default video player. The MPEG file extension is most closely associated with the MPEG-1 format. The file format employs sophisticated compression using codecs, producing small files of comparatively good quality. Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a family of digital video file formats, as well as the name of the organization that developed the format’s standards. One last quick note, as Battle said Wikipedia has all sorts of great articles about these subjects, in particular you may like to see this container format comparison chart, detailing all the different feature sets of the various video file types in use today.What is an MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) file? In the Engineering Guides section, check "The Engineer's Guide to Compression" (I don't want to link the PDF directly, in case it ever moves) for some real down and dirty compression training. Lots of white papers and "engineering guides", most of which I can make neither head nor tail of, but that offer boatloads of detail on all sorts of compression related topics. If you really want to get into details, though, I've heard wonderful things about Charles Poynton's "Digital Video and HDTV", though I can't speak for it personally.įor freely available, exceptionally technical information, don't overlook the Snell & Wilcox Knowledge Center. The specifics on various formats are naturally now a few years out of date, but it's still a great source for the basics if that's what you're after. The primer I got most of my compression info from is Ben Waggoner's "Compression for Great Digital Video". I can't help with this particular problem (I thought maybe you were on a Windows machine, which would explain Quicktime not decoding MPEG 2, but then I saw the words "Final Cut Pro" and that theory went right out the window), but as far as reference material I have some suggestions that may prove useful.
If mpegStreamclip opens your vob files, you are good to go. I don't know if mpegStreamclip will handle those, but they probably would open in DVD pro, which is part of your Final Cut suite. In that case your files will be something like hd_vob, as I recall it. PS looking at a previous thread from you, this isn't hdv anymore, it is sd for dvd.you might possibly have HD DVD, which Final cut (I notice you are using) can still make, or more accurately, DVD Pro, although that is a dead format. If you are in Final Cut, as I think you mentioned elsewhere, quicktime export should work.since it doesn't, either you are doing dealing with the files as mpegs - don't-or you need to select another setting in quicktime output. Probably the defaults will work fine, but if your system doesn't read the codec that msc selects, try another that you know is on your system. When you export, a window opens with a lot of codec and setting choices. I don't know what you want to do with the file, but if you want to edit it in an editing program, dv stream will work with almost anything. You can export in a variety of ways and convert also (file > export or file > convert). You can also simply select Open DVD and it will start with one of the files I don't use this but it works ok. If they don't drag, file > open and navigate to the file.
Look at the video folder on the dvd and pull the vob files, one at a time (it doesn't batch) and drop them on the mpegStreamclip window. Forget about "the files are mpeg", you just work with the vob files as such. (As you may know, on a video dvd, the audio and video are separated and are separate files. In that case, you just need to remux (re-join the video and audio files) and export.mpegStreamclip should work fine, that is its primary function.
