Edit MPEG-2 Streams in Software Only

February 1998 / International What's New / Edit MPEG-2 Streams in Software Only

You can do accurate frame editing of MPEG-2 clips without the need for dedicated hardware to play back data. Video Clip MPEG-2, a nonlinear editing package, offers the basic copy and paste functions for editing MPEG-2 files (i.e., multiplexed data including MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 audio). The program is available in a "light" version that allows for editing of I-fr ames, and in a professional B-frames version. The current versions support constant-bit-rate MPEG-2 streams, but the vendor says that support for variable bit rates will follow soon.
Price:    $200 for light version; $1250 for professional version.
