The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for? In most cases, you can install the QT 7 Player along with the Perian component package which contains codecs that support most of the current AVI compression formats which are Mac supported or you can examine the AVI files to learn what specific codecs are required for viewing and install them if available or lastly, use an alternative player like VLC. And currently many are simply not supported by the QT X Player app.
