    Having trouble with video
    My friend videotaped our volleyball tournament and he has windows and he uploaded it all from his laptop onto a disk, and i put the disk in my imac and i can't watch everything because its all in .mpeg format. Is there a video converter to make it so i can watch it on my computer, and make a highlight package in iMovie?

    Specs:
    Mac Mini Core i7 2012 | White 2009 MacBook 2 Ghz | 733 Mhz G4 Quicksilver
    You should be able to watch mpeg with a player like VLC.

    AS for conversion I use MPEG Streamclip to convert to Quicktime MOV format
    Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac and Windows

    But also download Perian (it extends what codecs Quicktime can use ) - Very useful
    Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime components

    Specs:
    Mid-2012 MBP (16GB, 1TB HD), Monoprice 24-inch second monitor, iPhone 5s 32GB, iPad Air 2 64GB
    Actually, googling those terms brings up a lot of spam-scam and nonsense.

    You can use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the footage. You may need the MPEG-2 Playback component from Apple ($30) to make this work.
