This is interesting.  An MPEG is not an EXE, unless it's a 
self-extracting ZIP file with one or more MPEGs inside it.  Or a virus 
email attachment trying to look like an MPEG (so "hide known extensions" 
just hides the ".exe").

Anyway, assuming it's the former, self-extracting ZIP files are really 
just ordinary ZIPs with a stub of code added that unZIPs them (and 
they're renamed with EXE).  Usually, just extracting them with whatever 
you use for ZIP files (like StuffIT Expander) will extract the contents; 
you don't have to use the built-in extractor.  QuickTime will play them.

And if it's the latter, delete them ASAP.
