i went and downloaded one of the Celebrity Jepordy episodes, and i cant get it to play. ever time i try it in quicktime, it doesnt work. a simple rename to .mpg doesnt help either

running quicktime in 10.1.3 any help would be appreciated

There's someone in my head but its not me...

where did you get the file? I've come across a lot of files (from limewire) that are named something.mpg but are really divx or asf. 90% of the time just changing the name to something.avi or something.asf makes them playable. Of course, if the file is distributed on a commercial website, the chances of this working are much less.
blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. the X makes it sound cool
