Has anyone out there noticed a serious playback issue plaguing
quicktime 7 in which the entire .mpg file does not playback? I've tried
running all of the system updates to see if that would rectify the
situation, but all to no avail. Is anyone familiar with this situation
and does anyone know how it can be corrected? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

The best solution is to use mplayer or VLC.

Depends on the MPG. MPEG2 needs a special codec which you buy from
Apple.

QuickTime Player is fussy about the timecode in MPEG files. Often a
MPEG file is made by just concatenating smaller file together without
fixing the header to encompass the new longer MPEG.

You can fix MPEG files by using MPEG Streamclip
<http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html>
Use the "Fix Timecode Breaks" in the "Edit" menu, then save the file.
