We have lots of media files and I want to play these files on Safari (on Mac) with QuickTime plug-in or VLC Web plug-in or anyting else...

These files' properties:

  • Extension: mpg
  • Video codec: MPEG Video (PAL) (Version 1)
  • Audio codec: MPEG Audio (Version 1) (Layer 2)
  • Multiplexed (muxed)

I tried QuickTime plug-in but it does not support the auido codec so the media file was shown with no sound. After a little research I found "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component" which supports MPEG Audio Layer 2. But it is not free... (I have not tried it, maybe it won't work...)

After that I wanted to try "VLC Web plugin for Intel Mac" but it did not work on my Safari. I heard that this project has not developed for 3 years...

Is there any way to get Safari to play MPEG files?

Note: No, I can not change media files' codec...

Try this http://perian.org/

scroll down a little bit on the page and locate the Perian extends QuickTime support for many popular types of media.

It should add support for mpeg files to your quicktime player.

  • Thanks, but quicktime still does not play audio. i think it's because of these files are muxed. – ogun Jul 19 '12 at 12:46
