Cyberdeth Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 What you can look at is Perian (http://perian.org/), it's a quicktime plugin that supports all the formats out there. that way you don't need VLC.As far as iTunes goes, you can try and drag and drop the movies onto itunes. I have never tried this though. iTunes don't usually play mpg movies, it plays mp4 movies or ipod format movies. With perian you should be able to open the movie and then select save as.....PM me if you have any more questions, I've been using macs since 2000 so i might know a couple of tips and tricks.
