MPEG1 Playback on Quicktime 7

[Mayhem]

I have some OLD movie files that were encoded using MPEG1. While I can
view the video using Quicktime 7, I am unable to hear the sound. I have
searched for a suitable codec but with no luck. Has anybody out there
managed to solve this problem?

This sounds like an MPEG1 from the early 1990's. Look for a System 7-era MPEG helper app named Sparkle.

Try using the open source VLC Media Player, available on many platforms, it plays DVDs, Windows Media files, MPEG, MPG, etc...

Was it even possible to use anything besides MPEG-1 Layer 2 or Layer 3 sound with MPEG-1 movies? Both should play fine in either QT or VLC, basically...
