Part 3: Feedback from MPEG Streamclip Mac Users and Solution
'I already have installed MPEG Streamclip Mac. But it's stopped working as when I try and open a url from youtube to convert it, it says it can't open it. And then I downloaded wondershare, but it left me with a watermark on video which was too big. I am wondering if there are any MPEG streamclip alternatives Mac which make it possible for me to convert and edit them in imovie, hopefully without any watermarks.' – From YahooAnswer
'The Mac MPEG streamclip's interface was so difficult and makes users confused. Unfortunately, there were no instructions easily available. More specifically, the cluttered and technical bottom toolbar would be especially troublesome for more novice users. If you have more experience with different video formats, conversion settings, and options available, the lack of guidance would not be a problem.' – Feedback From some users

'Does iMovie support MPEG? How do I import MPEG to iMovie? I uploaded some videos from my Sony Cam to my Macbook Air, and i can't import them to iMovie, please hlep.' - A question from Apple Support Communities.
For those who would like to import MPEG to iMovie, converting MPEG to iMovie compatible video format seems to be a good idea.
Part 1: What and Why
What is MPEG?
MPEG is actually a group, fully named as Moving Picture Experts Group, which is formed by ISO and IEC to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission. There are several different MPEG standards. Among those standards, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3 and MPEG-4 are very common ones. There are many different types, classes, and parts of the MPEG format. As a matter of fact, its development still continues until today. However, despite all such developments, MPEG-4 remains to be the most preferred video file format for movies that are stored on drives and played on discs.
Why some MPEG videos are not supported by iMovie?
iMovie accepts DV (mp4, mov, m4v etc), DV Widescreen, HDV 1080i (25 and 30 fps), HDV 720p (25 and 30 fps), MPEG 4 Simple Profile (.mp4 format), and iSight. In fact, iMovie generally can recognize MPEG files. However, if your MPEG files are muxed (multiplexed) MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 videos, iMovie won't accept them because of the codec incompatibility. On this occasion, you need to convert MPEG format to iMovie compatible formats like MP4, MOV, M4V, etc.
