There's also a free converter called 'ffmpegx' that will do the job.

How to open MPG files with Quicktime PRO

I have just bought my first Mac.
I have a lot of videos, that I did with my Sony DVD webcam,
and I used the sony software to download them.
All of them are in MPG extension.
Not MPEG2 or other, just MPG.
But the Quick time says:
The movie could not be opened.
The file is not a movie file.
How can I open them ?
Thanks

I just need the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component, right ?
As indicated above, you need both the QT MPEG-2 Playback component (handles the MPEG-2 video data only) and an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to handle the demultiplexing of the "muxed" data and act as a data bridge to the QT environment. Basically you are dealing with two somewhat different methods of storing and playing data. In the first case, the audio and video data is stored in "blocks" of data that are spatially interspersed in a single data stream to maintain physical synchronization. QT, on the other hand, is based on multiple tracks of data which are synchronized temporally to an external clock. The problem is changing the former to the later and keeping the audio and video content in proper synchronization.
So, today I bought the QuickTime pro and just thinking about editing the films in imovie, it will be of no help then... right?
As indicated above, MPEG-1/2 files are "playback" only compatible with QT and then only if the correct QT components are installed. They are only partially "conversion" compatible since QT, by itself, can only handle the video or the audio data but not both at the same time which is necessary for temporal synchronization of both to a common clock reference. Further, since source data does not have common time references for both audio and video data, it cannot be edited in its "muxed" state in time based app like QT. So if you were planning on using QT 7 Pro and the MPEG-2 Playback component to convert your files to an iMovie editable format, then yes, you wasted your money buying a QT 7 Pro key here. On the other hand, QT 7 Pro can convert/edit MPEG-2 content which is stored as elementary data streams (i.e., separate tracks) of data within a file container. In addition, if you plan to layer, scale, mask, etc. content (i.e., picture-with-picture, picture-in-picture, backgrounded video, etc. effects), then QT 7 Pro would be very useful for "quickie" edits not requiring a full-blown video editor. (I personally recommend having both QT 7 Pro and MPEG Streamclip installed as each has complementary editing features not found in the other.)

How can I open 'MPEG' file on the Mac?

Hi! I'm a new user of imac. Before now, I used to use PC.
Most of mac tools are strange for me on the Mac. T^T
At this time, when I tried to click 'MPEG' files on the mac, the movie could not be opened.
The window popped up and said,
'The file is not a movie file.'
but, When I opened 'MPEG' files on the PC, there were nothing problem to see.
How can I open and import 'MPEG' files on the Mac? Plz help me

You may need to purchase Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component (it's included with FCP and DVD-SP). Also try opening the file with VLC Player or MPEG Streamclip.

Can't open WMV files in Quicktime. How can I reinstall Quicktime?

For some reason I am unable to open WMV files in Quicktime even though I have Flip4Mac Player Pro (WMV files played fine in Quicktime until recently).
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
PERIAN (quicktime extension)
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
QUICKTIME 7.6.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
VLC Media Player
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
NICEPLAYER
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh Jain

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
Cheers, APC

How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

Hi,
The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
Which operating system are you running on?

How to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I

just bought Nikon's Coolpix P7800. It says you can shoot in Raw. Now I want to open these files in LR, just like I'm used to with my SLR's. But Nikon uses the NRW-format for Raw and LR says it doesn't recognise the files. Does someone know if there's a way to convert and work with these files in LR 4?

Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3

How to open aspx. files in OS 10.8?

is this the right place to ask how to open aspx. files in OS 10.8.2?

Unfortunately aspx is a generic extender - it is a report generated by a server running Windows .net - it isn't an extender that actually tells what kind of file it is or what kind of data it holds. That's something you either have to know before hand so you can force the proper program to open it (or change the aspx extender to its real extender) or you have to find out what the file is.
At work our system's report generator gives everything an aspx extender. When I generate a report I decide whether it should be a PDF, Excel file, etc. After downloading the file I change its extender appropriately.

How to open TIF files in iPad

How to open TIF files in iPad

The Mail ap can handle TIFF files for viewing purposes. They can be saved to the Photos app (from Mail, or other apps such as DropBox), but I beleive they get converted to JPG in the process. There are also a number of third party apps that can at least view TIFF files.
If you could describe exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish, someone may be able to provide more detailed assistancce.
