how to open a .mpg file

[DaveMac]

I am just starting with Corel 10 and am stuck on how to utilize the .mpg files my camera gives me. I have the suite.

Are you sure that it's "mpg" and not "jpg"? Mpg or more correctly MPEG is a video format not still pictures. I have not heard of a digital camera that takes still and outputs an "mpg" type file.

Yes. It has still and movie mode. And it is MPEG any thoughts?????

Have you read through the manual that came with the camera or talked to the manufacturer? Maybe it came with software. I'd say your first step, before using CorelDraw, is to use a program to "capture" a still from your MPEG. I found this free download at

Sounds to me like you could use this program to capture a still picture from your MPEG file.
