Default mpeg files shortened??

Hi, among the mpg files I'm downloading (using mac os9 and quicktime pro v6 to view them), there seems to be some strange "shortening" of them. It happens with about 20% of the files I download, mainly the bigger files.

Example: one file is 96MB in size but in quicktime the timeline runs for just 18 seconds after which it looks like end of file. But if I click on the viewer's timeline further back in the file suddenly I see more different footage. Each time the file seems to be at the end, clicking back on the timeline shows the "next" bit of the file.

However many files won't do this at all, and appear to run for just a few seconds, and there seems no way to view the rest of the file in quicktime.

Has anyone else found this kind of thing, and is there a solution??
