MPEG formatting isn't the problem -- it's probably whatever codec was used
to encode the video.
I recently put together a CD-ROM that contained about 10 MPEG formatted
videos which play fine in QT and in MC, on both Mac and Windows. I ran into
a problem with one of the videos not playing at all and wound up having to
tell the author of the video to encode it so it would play under QT. I
don't know what codec/settings they used, but whatever they did fixed the
problem, so it is possible to do.
FWIW, AVI also has similar problems -- some AVIs work fine under QT while
others do not, again, indicating that certain codecs work in QT. Perhaps
Apple makes a list somewhere of which codecs QT supports...

Scott
