A relative in England has sent me two MPEG files but Quicktime does not recognize or play them.

Thanks for the reply. I did manage to download it and play the video. However, I am wondering if there is a way to somehow convert the video to quicktime format so I can import it into iMovie or iDVD ?

You can get VLC to output separate audio and video streams in a format that quicktime would understand. If you have QT Pro you can then combine the audio and video and output it as a DV stream which iMovie would understand, at a cost of about 6G/hour of video.

Or you can output them into something more useful and mux them together and burn them all using free tools. Its complicated and time consuming. You'll need a few tools and need to learn about how a video stream is put together, the basics, to use the tools.

Or, buy/upgrade to Toast 7, its rather good about taking stuff like you've got and making a watchable DVD from it, albeit without fancy iMovie type eye candy.
