Is there a problem with Quick Time 7 decoding MPEG 2? Is it something that comes with Pro maybe? If so, do you think it's worth going to pro; will it read MPEG 2s or do I need to PAY beyond pro for that.

I don't seem to have found any direct info to these questions, even on Quick Time sites...

Any feedback would be cool...

Dave.

Mac G5 OS 10.3.9

You have to pay for pro to do MPEG 2 in QuickTime 7, but that's it.

VLC will do MPEG 2 for free, though some people have problems with it.

Going "pro" may be worth it however to both do MPEG 2 natively, and to reinstate the ability to ****ing save a QT file.

Bad! Bad Apple!

No. Pro has nothing to do with MPEG-2 or any other codec. It just enables the editing and fullscreen functions. The MPEG-2 decoder is a separate paid download and can be installed with or without QTPro.

Not a Mac OS discussion. QuickTime isn't even specific to Macs...
