I downloaded madplaywrap but it doesn't execute. Does anyone know how to get this thing to work? I downloaded it but when i doubleclick on the icon, nothing happens. I'm trying to convert an mp2 to aiff. I've already bbdemuxed the mpg but i still need to convert it. I want to be able to edit mpegs in iMovie. If there is an easier way to do this, any suggestions will be appreciated.

If memory serves, there is a way of copying out the audio track with QuickTime Pro, and then you simply paste it into a new file, and save/export that as an AIFF. I don't have a license to QTP handy, so am only going by memory.

no, QT can't export or edit mpeg1/2 audio (except mp3).

Sounds like stuffit screwed up the permissions of madplaywrap's executable. right-click on the app and select Show Package Contents. Then navigate to Contents/MacOS and open the file madplaywrap in a program that edits permissions (I use batChmod) and select the x checkboxes. Or with the terminal:

chmod 777 /path/to/app/Contents/MacOS/madplaywrap


of course, if the x's are already checked when you first open it, the problem might be something else
