Here is a little piece of software that is truly amazing! STREAMCLIP, from the comapany Squared 5, is a high quality file converter for MPEG (1,2,3,4), transport streams and QuickTime files providing movie conversions that are compatible with Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and Roxio Toast 6 and7. Perhaps what is even more amazing is the fact that it is ABSOLUTELY FREE and is available for Windows XP as well as Mac OSX!
For all of you Final Cut Pro Artists who have tried to place MPEG 2 Files into your timeline, only to get a video track with no audio, you can be happy to hear that this ware will allow you to export the MPEG 2 file to Quicktime, AVI, DV and MPEG 4 so it can be properly imported.
Simply open an MPEG 2 file into the application,
choose the method of export, which was Quicktime in this instance,
choose the frame size and Presto! You recieve a high quality Quicktime file that you could import into Final Cut Pro with audio intact. You also have more control of the final outputted file such as compression codec, quality, field dominace, audio sample rate and cropping capabilities. You have to check this out!
