I have been using Export2QT for doing VRO to DVD (MP2) conversion, but have been unhappy with the results for VCRO files, although in general I like the tool. Doing an extensive search for another OS X option and I stumbled across MPEG Streamclip. I have been very happy with the results of this tool. It is not quite perfect, although this may be an artifact of the VRO file format which is used by some DVD camcorders and seem largely unsupported by most folks, but it does a VERY good job and handles things like sudden contrast changes (like flash bulbs in the video) very well. I will be using Streamclip to convert all my VRO files from my Hitatchi DVD camcorder to a format for burning to DVD. It also does a great job of converting video for the video ipod.

The Best for VRO conversion on the Mac - emmashopping

I have a panasonic DVD video camera model: DVR-D150GN. It records directly to 8cm DVD - there is no firewire port but it can connect via USB to my macbook. The files I can see include a .VRO - I have downloaded streamclip, I have also bought mpeg2 component from apple and dowloaded that to support Quicktime. But when I try and open the .vro file in streamclip it says 'error' and something about the file being 'too short'. Any ideas? I am not sure I am using streamclip correctly - what should the settings be? Thanks for any help.
