You've got it backwards. MPEG4 and H.264 play in standard QT 7, but MPEG 1 and 2 are part of a $20 MPEG playback upgrade, that isn't even part of Pro, AFAIK....

Hi Caleb,

Thank you for your input on this query. I was able to convert/ transcode the file into MPEG4 and then open it up in Quicktime and in iMovie.

However, the quality is not great....lots of tiny blocks and a lot of video/audio "stuttering" that was not present when I played the original mpeg video file in VLC.

If I purchase this upgrade, would it allow me to import the original video into iMovie without the loss of video quality that I described above ? i.e. with the MPEG-2 Playback Component upgrade, will I be able to open the original file directly into Quicktime or import into iMovie and get close to the original quality of video (which was very clean/sharp) ?

If so,  I'll go ahead and buy it.

Amber
