I just purchased QuickTimeMPEG-2, but when I try to open the dmg file from my desktop, a warning window opens saying the file cannot be opened because it is not recognized.
QuicktimeMPEG-2-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Yes.
Are you really still running Snow Leopard on the platform? This problem is normal for Lion and Mountain Lipn which no longer support this "package" file. You can do any of the following:
1) Open and isntall the component on an older system and then simply transfer the component to the same folder on the problem system.
2) You can download the MPEG Streamclip "beta" software which includes a helper utility which will assist your installation.
3) You can use a utility like Pacifist to install the component.
I've had the same problem on 10.5.8. Went back to the apple store and re-download the .dmg under downloadable purchases. Maybe something got wrong during first download.
Thank you Jon and Matthias. I was going to try both your suggestions, so I decided to start with the simplest. I went back to my purchase page and redownloaded the file. It worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
