Very new to this so some expert advice would be appreciated. Firstly I have downloaded a bumber or avi and mpg files but just can't get any to play! I have downloaded the mpg 2 codec from apple and even upgraded to QT pro out of frustration but to no avail.

What's the secret guys? do I need conversion software to burn to a play these files?

Also have Toast titanium to burn (when and if I eventually get to that point)
