MPEG Streamclip

MPEG Streamclip bundles a video player, converter and editor into a single user-friendly application, which provides support for a wide variety of input file formats and features DreamBox integration. You can use it to play media content and transport streams, trim and cut videos and export them to various formats.

The main interface is not different by much than that of similar applications, displaying the video preview section, together with details about the video and audio PID, basic playback options and the total playing time.

MPEG Streamclip can open video files from your local hard disk, DVDs or stream a video from a user-defined URL. It provides information about the currently opened files, such as duration and size, bit rate, video, and audio FPS rate and channel types. One of its main advantages is that it can handle large files and streams, with sizes of more than 4 GB.

The built-in player enables you to preview the file before proceeding to the actual conversion process. Trimming options are also available, thus you can quickly remove commercials or other unnecessary file sections. Setting in and out points allows you to convert just the part of the video you are interested in.

The application comes with advanced stream editing options, enabling you to split and join videos, delete the audio track and fix existing timecode breaks.

The created movies can be exported to various formats, such as DV, AVI, MPEG-4, MOV, MP4 and so on, while MPEG-2 transport streams can be easily converted to muxed MPEG-2 files for immediate burning with a DVD authoring tool.

The program can demux MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files with multiple audio formats while preserving video quality. It comes with enhanced video processing options, such as the motion-adaptive deinterlacer, interlaced scaling tools, and a chroma deinterlacer.

To conclude with, MPEG Streamclip is a movie editor that features advanced video processing and conversion capabilities. The extensive support for different types of input formats, together with the advanced editing tools make it a viable alternative to other applications from its category and since it comes without a price tag, it is surely worth a try.
