Mpeg Streamclip is a pretty awesome (and free!) product. As anyone who has ever tried to go back and forth from a Mac to a PC with their video will know, it's a major pain trying to deal with the different formats.
Mpeg Streamclip has a long list of formats that it will open and convert to. One particularly useful function of Mpeg Streamclip is stripping the content from DVD-video so that it is editable.
One drawback to this is that DVD-video codecs are lossy, meaning that some of the information is thrown away in compression. This further means that after it is edited and compressed again it will have lost more information, resulting in lower quality. Therefore, it is not recommended, but sometimes necessary, for instance, if the only source of a particular piece of
video is DVD-video.One problem I have found using Mpeg Streamclip is that it doesn't deal with interlaced video very well. When converting a file I have needed to deinterlace the video to avoid that annoying "combing" effect. Anyone else have this problem? How did you solve it?
