On this page, you list the Quicktime mpeg-2 playback component.  Out  
of curiosity, what do you use it for?  I had my sister buy it for her  
mac so she could import the de-DRMed mpeg2 files off her TiVo into  
iMovie/iDVD, but it didn't let her do that.  I did some more reading  
on what the component is supposed to do, and I just couldn't figure  
out the usefulness of it at all.

So, out of curiosity, what do you use it for?
