QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component: Playback of 4:2:2 profile MPEG-2 files is not supported

The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (aka muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved together into one track) and non-multiplexed (aka elementary) streams.

The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is ideal for previewing MPEG-2 video such as that used in DVD-Video content authoring. But there are some kinds of MPEG-2 media that are not supported by the MPEG-2 Playback Component.

Unsupported MPEG-2 Media Types

• Playback of 4:2:2 profile MPEG-2 streams
• Playback of transport streams (which combine audio and video with independent time bases)
• AC3 audio (audio is not decoded)
• Ripped DVD content (content from a DVD video disc saved to another drive)
