There's two likely causes: one is that the file doesn't have the right
type/creator code; and the other is that the version of QT that you have
doesn't play that version of MPEG.

Given that you can play this file from within an HTML file, I suspect
that QT 2.5 can do the job.

You could try changing the type of the file to:

MPG 

(that's MPG<space>)

I looked this up by opening the Movie Player with ResEdit (available
from someone on Apple's Web site and yes, 2.1.3 is the most recent
version) and looking inside the BNDL resource which has a list of all
the file types that the application knows about (or will admit to,
anyeay).
