uncompressing video (quicktime)
 

What program do people recommend for uncompressing videos. I have the commonly refered to problem of :
Downloading the complete file.
But only the first X amount of seconds will play.
If I toggle the slider (play bar) in Quicktime I can access more of the video so it's there. But can't get it to all play
?????

I have the same problem, I think.. what is going on

Has anyone tried to read such an mpg file in a text editor for some kind of 'end of file' marker that causes quicktime to misread the file, or something like that?

Sounds like more of these 'corrupt' files are being shared. VLC or mPlayer will usually play them fine.
