yeah i'll agree. i had no idea that there were this many video noobs. i mean some of the posts here are just plain wrong and a lot of posts from guys who have absolutely no clue about video, codecs, encoding, tv standards, etc.

if u read the manual its says you can install other codec...but they're not supported. That plug should work....but theres no point since its not going to sound good.

take it from someone who learned the hard way. don't bother spending the $20 on the MPEG-2 plugin from apple. the only audio format that's supported with their MPEG-2 plugin, is the audio format that is NEVER used. Meaning, 99.9% of your MPEG-2 files will play with no audio for $20.
i'm personally glad they have solid H.264 support since it's the best codec for performance/quality/size. not bothered at all about the lack of VOB support.

A little off topic, but can some one tell me the difference between DVD5 and DVD9 please.

dvd5 is 4.7gb DVD media
dvd9 is dual layer DVD media that stores twice as much data (roughly)

Not quite so simple to quote (myself) from another thread:
And a-swift, thanks for the info on audio support by Apple's codec. I didn't know this and I'm sure this will influence how we go about supporting MPEG-2 streams.

MPEG-1/2 are multiplexed streams so the audio is mixed up with the video whereas MPEG-4 has them separated into different streams. This means the decoding process is quite different and so while it is definitely on our list, it is not a 1.0 feature...And a-swift, thanks for the info on audio support by Apple's codec.

i would still like to see this in a 1.1 update.
if VDJ and DVDJs can do it, serato should be able to do it too.

From the Apple MPEG2 Quicktime plugin page located here:
www.apple.com
What audio formats does the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component support?
The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component supports the playback of MPEG-2 files (.mpg, .mpeg, .vob, .vro, .m2v, .m2a, and .m2s) that contain MPEG audio layers I or II. The MPEG-2 Playback Component does not support audio playback for MPEG-2 files containing PCM, DTS or AC3 audio.
Almost EVERY DVD you will come up on will use PCM, DTS or AC3. While I've CREATED DVDs that use MPEG Layer 1 and II (mostly 2), I've personally NEVER seen a professional DVD made with MPEG layer 1 or 2. It's laughable that this is what they give you for $20. The plugin is a straight ripoff.
