SIGH!  Thanks, Scott. Thanks, pickle. Fram rate is ~30, but I will try to
track down Sparkle. Originating app doesn't have much flexibility. May have
to take mid-tower peecee with monitor into school.  :-(

Thanks for your input, anyways.

  No matter how paranoid you are, it isn't paranoid enough.

Try Sparkle, if you can still find a copy.

You probably won't. Those machines aren't particularly well-suited for 
video playing, especially anything terribly new. You might could get 5 
frames a second at something small.

If it won't play in the latest version of Quicktime that will run on 68ks 
(4?) then you'll need to encode it in an older codec that will.

Freeware MPG Player for P475/Q605

[Spiritus ex Machina]

Quadlisters,

I'm looking for a freeware MPG player for Performa 475 running 7.1 or a
Quadra 605 running 8.1. I need this for installation Monday on some systems
at my son's school. I need it to play some MPG files generated on a Win98
PC. The files play back on the PC and on the Red Hat 7.2 GNU/Linux box
that's acting as the store-and-forward file server, but the QuickTime (2.5)
Movie Player (2.5.1) on the target Mac(s) fails with a message saying that
the file is not a movie file.

Any suggestions about how to get these files displayed?
