I’ve been searching possible workflows for MPG clips and Avid Media Composer. During the process, I found many users complained the problems when trying to edit MPG files in Avid. There're some frequently asked questions quoted as below.

Q1: “I'm trying to get a .mpg file into the Avid and have it look good. I was given a .mpg file that looks great when played back on the computer but Avid will not accept it. Thanks for any help.”

Q2: “I've been told that Avid doesnt allow you to import mpegs, and if it does, then it simply doesnt like my files. Is there anything I can do? Please help!!”

Acutely, Avid Media Composer generally can recognize MPG files. However, if your MPEG files are muxed (multiplexed) MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 videos, Avid Media Composer won't accept them because of the codec incompatibility.

Some guys recommend using MPEG Streamclip to transcode MPG video files into Avid DNxHD. If the internal format of the video is MPEG-1 or MPEG-4, then MPEG Streamclip will handle the files with no additional software. If the files are MPEG-2, then you need the MPEG 2 Playback Component.

I tried the solution, but no luck. Avid still didn’t like my MPG files. I even can’t figure out what went wrong. I’d struggle to find another good one. In this try, more than one people suggest to convert MPG to Avid Media Composer most compatible format DNxHD with Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac.

This video app can help you change MPG(MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and even MPEG-4) into a different format DNxHD with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into Avid Media Composer 4/5/6/7 with smooth editing without any trouble. It will ensure a perfect MPG importing, playing and editing workflow with Avid MC on Mac(Mavericks). For converting MPG to Avid on Windows, please turn to Video Converter.
