Hi aj243,
I haven't been able to view quicktime videos lately in Chrome either. I get the error message "quicktime plug in 7.7.1 has crashed". Were you ever able to fix this problem?

How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all. In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.
The following may be helpful:

I cannot open Quick Time Player at all

I am simply trying to open Quick Time Player to record a self video. I go to my Applications folder, click on Quick Time Player. It loads into the dock, I double click on the QTP icon, nothing happens. I right click on the QTP icon and get a mini menu of options that don't seem to apply to opening the program to include nothing in the Options (and there is not a selection of "SHOW" only Show All Windows which merely lists four movies I have on my hard drive. Any suggestions from anyone? Keep it real simple please and assume nothing. I'm of the slide rule era, well before the 8086 days and grew up on the PC. Thanks.

Double-click the QuickTime Player and choose New Movie Recording from the File menu. The QuickTime Player will only have a window open when instructed to do so; the items in the menu bar will change when it's launched.

Iphoto '09 won't open Quick Time Player 7

I can't get my iphoto '09 (version 8.1.2) to recognize quick time player 7 when I double clip video clips I imported from my camera or iphone. I am running OSX 10.6.8. Any suggestions?

I can't stand Quick Time Player

Some of us have more than one monitor. I own a comedy theater, and our tech booth has two monitors, one of which is connected to a projector. I'd love to be able to show video content on our screen without having to also show the audience the Quick Time Player contols at the same time. Is there an app I can use that allows me to show QT videos but detatch the on-screen controls from the main viewing window and move it elsewhere? Why this isn't an option with QT I do not know (I'm told the Windows version allows it.)
Thanks.

Hi,
Like you I thought you could drag them off to one side.
I also have Quicktime 7 which allows some things the later version does not.
However I can't see how to separate the Controls here either.
I must admit to not being that well informed on Players.

HI,
So these are files created in Quicktime Player (recordings/Movies) that will not open in the app ?
Some context to the question would be useful.

Quick Time Player doesn't open WMV files with a double click.

After I download a WAV file and double click on the file; a message appears install "Quick Time Player must be installed to run this application;" however when I open Quick Time Player and select the file it plays with no issues. My question is why would I be getting this message after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

you do have QT player installed. you just need to associate wmv files with it. select a .wmv file in finder and enter command+i. in the popup go to the "open with" section set it to open with QT player and click "change all".

Photoshop elements 11- Quick time player

Hello form,
Sorry for my English, but I hope that you can understand my big problem.
My problem is, how can I install Quick Time Player in PSE 11.
I have install Quick Time Player (QTP) normal on my PC, and that works. My os is Window 7.
I hope someone can help my.
Thanks, Jaap van Driel.

If you have QuickTime Player installed on your PC then all the components that PSE needs will be in place. If something is not working, you can download the latest version (I'm guessing Nederland from your name) from http://www.apple.com/nl/quicktime/ and reinstall it. If not Nederland, then get it from your country Apple site.
Is there a particular problem you're having that we can help with?
Cheers,
Neale

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

If no luck there, you could also try VLC at http://www.videolan.org
