Well I have 2 .mpg's I've downloaded, and every time I select them in finder, my finder freezes. They play just find, but I have to right click on them and select open. They're really annoying because the only way to move them is Terminal. I'm running 10.3. So has anyone else heard of this?

Try fixing them with Gumby (read the manual for which Gumby option you need to use).

And if that doesn't work, there's a great Mac video forum where you can do a search or ask for help:
