Mac: How to convert files to mpeg2?

Question

I am trying to convert quicktime files to mpeg2 to create a DVD

Answer 1

QuickTime is software for creating and playing audio and video. It can use any of a dozen different formats of video as long as it has the correct codec component available in the Library > QuickTime folder. There actually isn't just one type of "QuickTime" file. What you may see as a QuickTime file is a .MOV file. Most applications for designing and burning DVDs just take the .MOV file and go straight ahead with burning it as a DVD movie. You do not need to convert anything. The converting is done behind the scenes when you tell the application to burn a DVD movie disk.



If you have a DVD burner built into your Mac from the Apple factory, you have iDVD. Use that to design and burn a DVD. If you bought an external DVD burner, it should have come with any of a dozen DVD burning applications such as Toast Titanium. Use that to burn a DVD.
