There's an MPEG extension for Quicktime 2.5 available somewhere on Apple's
web site (www.quicktime.apple.com). It needs a PowerPC processor and, if
you want to play files off a VideoCD, Apple's own CD driver (which in
turn only works with Apple CD drives).

Then there's Sparkle 2.4.5, an MPEG player and converter. It's a bit slower
and can't handle sound. But with all the picture quality options set it can
produce quite good stills.
