Viewing MPEG Files

Thanks. I did that already. I watched all the tutorials, but it didn't address my question or dilemma regarding the MPEG files and how do I view it.
Any other suggestions you think might be helpful?

These were movies my husband converted from VHS to the MPEG files (digital). But QuickTime cannot open them. These were wedding movies he converted (our wedding). Is VLC Media Player safe to download to my iMac?

My desire is to view for home use only. . .

Mr. Sawyer,

Just took a look at the VLC Media Player page you linked and how would I know which download to choose for MAC OSX? There is 32/64 bit pkg; there is 64 bit; and then there is 32 bit pkg. I am not technically advanced in this arena. . .

Mr. Saywer, thank you so much for your help. I will keep you posted, if interested, on how this all pans out.

Dear Mr. Sawyer:

It WORKED!!!! You were so right!

I was able to see my wedding film. My husband died one year ago; my PC (Sony Vaio) crashed twice since his death causing much loss of data, photos, etc. and so I decided to convert to Macs; my husband was strictly a PC man, ex-IBMer, programmer and had networked the entire home; so I had no idea where to begin, so I decided to start from scratch. In doing so I was able to salvage some files and voila, the file was readable w/the program you suggested. Now I can see him live somewhat and remember what we had.

Thank you so much,
