Using MPEG Streamclip on Mac OS X
MPEG Streamclip is an effective, advanced video conversion tool, player, editor for Microsoft, QuickTime, H.V. and transfer streams for many multimedia formats. This free software can be used on PCs and Mac OS X machines. With this software, you will be able to convert your film footage into a high quality, lossless, Flash video file, with the help of a WMM, or Windows Media Player.
The benefits of choosing to use a software that is designed specifically to convert video files from one format to another, in addition to being able to convert film footage, are twofold. With the use of the program, one is able to convert their digital files into a convenient format that can be stored easily on their computer. They can then transfer these files to other devices, as well as to a computer hard drive, without losing quality when doing so. When it comes to converting analog video files, on the other hand, the professional's software offers them the greatest amount of control. Because this type of conversion requires a huge amount of work, especially in editing the converted files, the use of a WMM is bound to save any amateur with a great deal of time and effort in their project.
There are numerous other advantages when it comes to using a Mac or Windows compliant device when converting your material to be able to view it on the Apple Mac, PC, or even on your mobile phone. The list of the available formats that Streamclip supports, includes: Mpeg, DivX, Flash, AVI, MPG, and MPEG-2. These are all high definition video formats that are commonly used by consumers today. As far as the types of devices that it works best with, if you are using an older version of one of these formats, you may experience compatibility issues with most of the software out there.
