mpeg2 video player?

Is there an mpeg-2 video player available for Symbian based mobiles, particularly N95?

One that plays .mpg files in the mpeg 2 format? E.g. from DVD and DVB Digital TV?

I'm not looking for a PC based conversion utilities. I want a player that runs on the mobile and plays the files directly.

I've got CorePlayer but this does not yet support mpeg 2 video, conspicuous by its absence. Very surprising given that this is quite a popular format given its use in DVD and DVB. Yet CorePlayer supports MP4 - a far more challenging and newer codec, so supporting mpeg 2 should be possible if that is the case.

Also looked at Helix Mobile Player, but again mpeg 2 video conspicuous by its absence.

I've searched all the forums here but none satisfy this query.
