The Best MPEG Streamclip Alternative for Mac and Windows

Overview

• I was recommended to use MPEG Streamclip to convert video files on Mac, but yesterday when I used MPEG Streamclip to convert MP4 to MOV I got an error message "can't prepare the movie." What is the problem?
• I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and I find out that I can not use MPEG Streamclip to play MPEG-2 on Snow Leopard. Why and is there a solution?
• Can't MPEG Streamclip support to convert WMV and FLV? Why I can not open WMV or FLV on MPEG Streamclip?

MPEG Streamclip is a free and multifunctional software which can work as a video converter, video player, video editor and even video downloader on Windows and Mac. But many Mac users, especially users who have upgraded their Mac, often encounter some MPEG Streamclip malfunction problems, just like the above ones. Why these problems happen and how to avoid them? See the following article to find the answers.

Limitations of MPEG Streamclip

MPEG Streamclip supports to convert from many video files, but for some popular video files, like WMV, FLV, MPEG-2, etc, you need to install a third plug-in. For example:

• For Mac Lion users, Mountain Lion users, and Snow Leopard users, to use MPEG-2 files on MPEG Streamclip you need to install MPEG-2 Playback Component.
• For all Mac users you need to install one DivX-compatible codec to convert DivX files with MPEG Streamclip.
• For all Mac users you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player to convert WMV files with MPEG Streamclip.
