QuickTime Support
QuickTime version 2 and lower is directly supported by Video Edit Magic Express. Files in this format can be added to the timeline for editing. QuickTime files version higher than version 2 must be however converted to AVI format before they can be added to the timeline. Media Converter is a companion utility bundled with Video Edit Magic Express that is capable of converting a QuickTime file to its equivalent AVI file.
The recommended or full installation of QuickTime is required to convert from QuickTime to AVI. QuickTime's online or standalone installer can be obtained from the URL: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.
MPEG-2 Support
To add MPEG-2 files to the timeline, you must first install the Free MPEG-2 Decoder available from the following link:

Since MPEG-2 editing is very resource intensive, it is recommended that you convert this type of files using the built-in Media Converter before adding the files to the timeline.
MPEG-4 Support
To support MPEG-4 files in the timeline, you must first install the MPEGable Decoder available from the following link:
