When I download .mpeg files, I can’t read’em.
They have the Quicktime icon, they are MPG type, TVOD creator.
I try to open them with Quicktime, Premiere, FinalcutPro,Iview, WinMediaPlayer, ... NOTHING.

Can anyone knows anything about this ?
I can play .mov files as much as I want.
I’m on G4 400 OS 9.2.2, I have the QUICKTIME MPEG extension ON, & QT V. 5.0.2.

They are most likely encoded with DIVX, which requires a DIVX extension you can find by searching for it over at VersionTracker.com.

HI thanx for replies
I got the answer
My problem was because of an extension that prevent from QT to read mpeg files,
I started up my mac with the basic extensions, & then with the full mac extensions & it worked.
I reactivated all the extensions I need, it now works,

There is to many extensions off left for me to tell u wich one was the problematic one,
If I can isolate it one day I’ll let u know.
Thanks BYE
