Do You Know...
... that in HyperRESEARCH you can use keyboard shortcuts to code audio and video? Just play your source file while listening and/or watching. When you come to the starting point of a segment you want to code, press Control-[ (if you use Windows) or Command-[ (if you use Mac OS X). Continue playing the segment, and when you reach the end of the part you want to code, press Control-] or Command-]. Your chosen segment is now selected, ready to have a code applied!

(This tip can be particularly helpful when you have a long source file and it's difficult to place the play head precisely enough at the spot you want to code. Using the keyboard shortcuts lets you code interactively, without fiddling with the controls on the screen.)

How can I transcribe MPEG-2 video in HyperTRANSCRIBE?

HyperTRANSCRIBE utilizes Apple Computer's QuickTime technology for the playback of audio or video. QuickTime, as downloaded and installed from Apple, does not natively support MPEG-2 as a video format. However, Apple does offer a MPEG-2 add-on for QuickTimefor MacOS and Windows. The Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is a commercial product and, as of the time of the FAQ, cost $19.99 USD for each platform (Mac and Win).

For Macintosh, see: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A

For Windows, see: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2189Z/A

The Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component has some limitations. Please see the full details on the Apple Web Site at the links above. The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component supports the playback of MPEG-2 files (.mpg, .mpeg, .vob, .vro, .m2v, .m2a, and .m2s) that contain MPEG audio layers I or II. The MPEG-2 Playback Component does not support audio playback for MPEG-2 files containing PCM, DTS, or AC3 audio.

If you have MPEG-2 video content you wish to transcribe and it is not supported by the Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, your other option is to transcode or convert the video to another supported video format. There are a wide variety of free and low cost tools available for both Macintosh and Windows to transcode or convert video from one format, such as MPEG-2, to another format supported by QuickTime, such as MPEG-4.
