I recently purchased a new Mac with an Intel processor. Do I need to purchase a new MPEG-2 Playback Component?
No, Apple has updated the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X to be compatible with Intel-based Macs. This is a free update for past purchasers and is required for viewing MPEG-2 files with QuickTime Player on Intel-based Macs. As a past purchaser, you can download the new software by visiting the Apple Online Store and clicking on “Your Account” in the store menu. After entering your Apple ID and password, click “Downloadable Software Purchases” where you will see a link to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. Click the link to download and install the new version. If your MPEG-2 Playback component came bundled with Final Cut Studio, DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Pro, visit this page for instructions on how to download the updated software.
