You need to purchase the MPEG2 Playback component for Quicktime 7.

so, vlc open it with no problems

but quick time needs this extra component?

i've converted a short pice of the long movie via
visual-hub, and quicktime did open the mpg2.
so maybe I'm doing something wrong with the
settings in the compressor?

Protip: when you convert MPEG2 to another format the resulting file is not MPEG2.
