MPEG Streamclip

I managed to get MPEG streamclip working under OS 10.10.3 (Yosemite) today.

Step 1 - Download the newest version, under the tab "Free download, Mac OS X beta version"
1.9.3b8 beta for Mac OS X
Released 2012-08-20

Step 2 - Download, reinstall or restore the required MPEG-2 Playback Component.

While I bought this component many years ago, I no longer have the .dmg file, just the component itself. For many years one could re-download from apple.com, but this is not an option any more. I found a working link, though.

This is what/where I DLed : http://download1129.mediafire.com/rj5n5dfl65dg/fuu2auocdi39dn0/QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg

Which gave me an 887 KB Disk Image, with two components. One for Quicktime 6.3, one for "Quicktime 6.4 and later & Intel Macs"

Recent Macs don't need this component anymore, but MPEG Streamclip *does* need it. There is an installer for this component built into the beta version, but you need to have the .dmg file.

Step 3 - Install the beta of MPEG Streamclip. It will ask you to double-click on the MPEG-2 Component dmg. I chose the one for Intel macs.

Fin.

I was able to set In/Out points and quickly create an mp4 clip. I have not tested every option but MPEG Streamclip seems to be working as expected.
