Hi.
I have used MPEG Streamclip before on my laptop, and it used to work fine but then stopped working.
So today I installed it and QT Alternative (the version recommended on the MPEG Streamclip site) for the first time on my main computer, and the same thing happens.
I load an MPEG2 video file, and the Streamclip window immediately has trouble redrawing itself.
The box for the video will show, and the video controls (play etc.) will show, but then it may start blinking in and out or not show at all. If the video plays (if I hit the play button just right), there is no video, but audio plays.
The rest of the Streamclip window will slowly continue building, i.e. the buttons and sections will one by one come into view.
But otherwise it is fairly unresponsive, and it uses 100% of one of my CPUs. I have to force quit it.
I just noticed that I had QT Lite installed (had forgotten about that), and I also have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed with ffdshow etc.
Are there any known issues between different codecs (e.g. QT Lite) or other programs with MPEG Streamclip?
If I import an AVI file, I still have no video (or it will flicker so fast that you can't see it), and the video controls flicker, but audio plays, and the program is responsive otherwise, so it seems to be an MPEG issue. I did install everything with QT Alternative, so the MPEG plugin should be there.
I don't have a job right now, so I can't afford to buy software, and I have heard from a relative that supposedly even professionals use MPEG Streamclip (but maybe the Mac version). So I'd like to use that unless I can find an alternative.
I have tried MPEG2CUT2 but found that it will on occasion create broken or damaged MPEG files, and I'd like more control over my edit points (my TiVo creates videos with key frames spread pretty far...).
Thanks in advance for any help!
