QuickTime Mpeg2 will not install

I recently did a clean install of my system and deleted my Previous Systems folder. I was looking to play DVDs in QuickTime with the Mpeg-2 Component, but it is missing from /Library/QuickTime. I can't find it anywhere on the drive. I am trying to reinstall it from the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg I bought from Apple. Installer says "successfully installed" but there's no sign of the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file. And still no ability to play MPEG-2.

I have downloaded through the Apple store the most recent version of the component installer. No dice.

I have deleted QuickTimeMpeg2.pkg from /Library/Receipts. No dice.

I have searched through all /Users. Nothing.

Am I missing something? This is really ticking me off.
 
I did the same thing with my system, and now I have the same problem you have...did you resolved it?...before this it was working perfectly fine...HELP PLEASE!
 
Are you running Snow Leopard?

If so, have you tried opening the movie with the "Quicktime 7 Pro.app", located in /Applications/Utilities/?
 
No my system is tiger (10.4.11), but I don't know what I did that is working again, but the only problem (maybe it's not a problem) is that in my desesperation I double click in the quicktime component icon (system/library/quicktime) and the lego brick icon was repalaced by simple folder (in all of them), do you think this will be a problem? is working fine, is there a way to restore the original icon?


thanks
