In Safari, go to Preferences / General
Make sure Open "safe" files after downloading is checked.
Also...do a Command+I on one of your mpg files & make sure Quicktime is selected as the default app.

As far as iTunes, update to the latest version & make sure there is no firewall that is blocking access to the iTunes store from where you are.

I would take it back to the genius bar and explain to them the problems and tell them none of it started happening until you got it back from them.

Just sounds to me like the system was probably reset or restored.

Download and re-install Flash and Perian.

And maybe try just re-entering your user name / password in iTunes.

Might save ya a trip back to the store.
