I have lots of clips in the .mpg format. When I try to play them my iMac wants to use QuickTime Player. None of the clips play right using QuickTime. Is there a better app to play these clips?

I use VLC for .avi clips. I'll try it on an .mpg one. Worked like a charm. Thanks bsbrees.

I have a love/hate relationship with VLC. Love the part that plays almost anything I throw at it and will sometimes transcode files nothing else will touch. Hate the interface. Strictly because of that I use VLC as my player of last resort.

I often use MPEG Streamclip because I can also edit files if necessary.
