I bought MPEG2 QT Component for QT 7.6 and it has never worked properly

I try to open Files with the .mpg extension using the MPEG2 Component for QT 7.6.4. I get an error message every time that these files cannot be opened because they are not MOV files. They open successfully with VLC. MPEG2 Streamclip both versions cannot open these files - complains about no content or something like that.
I used the installer on the .dmg file downloaded from Apple.com to install. The MPEG2.component file is in the Quicktime library.
Any ideas as to what is happening? Perhaps the source files are encoded wrong but if VLC opens them, then the coding must be okay for VLC.

MPG files may contain either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 content. If the content is MPEG-1, then the MPEG-2 Playback component does not provide any support over and above what is already included in QT. The error message would seem to indicate the content is probably improperly terminated or corrupted. Since you say the files do open in VLC which ignores QT proper termination file requirements, I'd say your problem is the former. Basically, if QT or QT-based application can't find the end of a file/data, it considers the file/content corrupt and can't/won't even try to open it.

  • I bought a MacBook Pro in September 2011 and it has never worked well.

    I bought a MacBook Pro in September, 2011 and it has never worked well.  Are there known issues with this machine?  It just stops responding, usually for 3 minutes (especially when I'm working in iPhoto or Contacts).  I regret buying this machine.  I wish I could just go back to my previous MacBook Pro.  Any chance Apple will just exchange this for me without it costing me my other arm & leg? 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hey! I have had an Ipod touch for about 7 years and it has always worked! but for some reason i plugged it into my laptop and my computer is recognizing that it is plugged in but my itunes isnt what do I do?

    See

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • I updated my software for the Time Machine and it will not work properly now.

    I updated my Time Machine's Software and now it flashes amber all of the time and will not let me "into" it. I used to have a wireless network through it and now it does not work. I have hard reset it several times and it is flashing amber again.

    I have done this on several occassions. This works for 1 time then it stops. It "connects" allows me to set it up and then flashes amber. It did backup 1 time today, but now it says it is delayed and there is no back up. It worked fine until I updated the software and tried to extend my network. After this, it will NOT work at all, for any length of time. i just reset it, and was able to set it up, but it gave me an error message, is flashing amber and is not being recognized. Very frustrating.

    I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar.  The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem.  I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond.  Please tell me something.  The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S  16GB.  Black.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

  • I bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account registered to another person on itunes. i was wondering since i started my own account with itunes and tried to sync the music and other apps to my account would it erase everything on the ipod

    i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.

    Do what iTunes is telling you to do.  Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you.  Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them.  Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.

    I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

    Why?  Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

    Live with the phone as is.
    Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
    Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.

  • HT4061 actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly as the screen goes black ....i lost  the bill..is it possible to get another copy of the bill......

    actually i bought iphone 4s in nov 2012 and now its not working properly and i lost my bill as well i want to request to get a copy of bill pls.....

    You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you are having warranty issues with the phone, a copy of the bill is not necessary for Apple to check and evaluate the phone. If there is a manufacturer defect, they will deal with it.
    What is "not working properly" on the phone. Maybe someone can help and it not be necessasry to be replaced.

  • Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:
