Movie problems...

Convert

Tech
Hi there.

Basically, my friend went to E3, and filmed a load of videos (Rebel!), and put them on a site.

Now, all the Windows users can download the .mov files, and watch them in Quicktime.

However, I can't. Apparently it's a format not understood by Quicktime. :confused:

I'm also having trouble with some .avi files. Both formats won't work on QT or VLC.

Help? :(
 
If you have iLife, you may wish to try asking imovie to do the "misterious" conversion for you. Just drag and drop them onto an open iMovie project. If imovie recognizes them it'll convert them. And you will be able to see them.

And if it works, save them using the file/sharing option - or better still open the project bundle and find the .mov file iMovie creates for its own use.
 
Strange... I'm using QuickTime 7 on Tiger 10.4.1, and they play fine, both with the "Pro" version and without.

Does QuickTime give you a specific error or something?
 
If this is of any help. I have the "standard" (non-pro) version of quicktime. And the movies work fine on my Mac.

In view of the subject, maybe your version of Quicktime is pro-peace? ;)
