Mac LimeWire document/mpeg
 

When i try to play downloaded mpeg video w/Quicktime, video doesn't appear in shared file folder. When i go to file on hd, the file is "a Limewire file", not Quicktime. Have been able to download/play 1 or 2 files only.
????
Download seems to work and it completes. Have tried mpg and mpeg files, no avi.

playing mp3/mpg files on a mac with quicktime 5.0.2
 

I just figured this out today. To play the file all you have to do is rename the "limewire" document with either .mp3 or .mpg (depending on the kind of file) at the end of the name. This automatically makes it a quicktime document.

What version of quicktime do u need to have? Do u need to change the quicktime preferences to make the file be turned into a quicktime file?
