QuickTime Player can't open "solea-antonio-walter.mov" because a required codec isn't available.

Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
PERIAN (quicktime extension)
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
QUICKTIME 7.6.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
VLC Media Player
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
NICEPLAYER
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

I had better success doing this:
Download iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

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.

(OSStatus error -54.) when I try to play a video in iphoto

I get this error message when I try to play my video " the operation could't be completed, (OSStatus error-54). I am sorting out my albums and was putting all my videos on on cd, There are about 10 that won't play or get transferred to the cd, Our they just blanks or are there anything on them? These are all done on a 2012 MacBook Pro 15",and updated to the latest OS X 10.10 , Same with iPhoto. Ia it because the speed of the ones left behind is to high. and I need a DVD instead of a CD?. I about to just skip these blank ones and try with a DVD. Thank You.

If you have Perian and 3ivx, these could be the ones guilty of the error. I had the same problem so I installed 3ivx and Perian. I'll install Perian again to test if it works, but I won't place 3ivx on my Mac again. This link helped http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=23502

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update.

Restart Finder by pressing option + command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

DetectFlashVer not defined this is the error I get when I look at the error consol. i am trying to open a link and that's the error I get. It won't open the link. All I get is a blank screen.

I downloaded a program to help me with a game I am playing. I can't open the link. All I see is a blank page. I looked at the error console and it said detectFlashVer not verified. i am sot sure why it would say this. I have updated and redownloaded flash a bunch of times. I just don't know why i can't open this link.

HT204382 I've gone through the process of installing Flip4Mac WMV, but the program will not open. When I try to open a torrent file to play, it tells me it can't be opened because a required codec isn't available. What am I doing wrong?

It originally told me that I didn't have the required codec, so that's why I downloaded flip4mac. It's still giving me that message, and Flip4mac won't open at all. Quicktime won't open either. It shows up in the dock but won't open. Can anyone help?

There are a number of Windows Media codecs that have never been ported to Mac, and the copy protection system also has never been ported. So it's quite possible that whatever this file is you downloaded, you will never be able to play it in Mac OS X. Without knowing what the file is, however, it's not possible to be certain.
Regards.

Hi. I'm getting a message adobe reader could not open the file because its either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. Any ideas what to do please? thank you

TS1436 You Do Not have enough acess privaledges for this functrion ? This is the message I get when I try to burn a cd. This has just started recently. been burning w/o problems

When tryong to burn a cd in itunes. A function I have done hundreds of times its tells me I do not have enough acess privaledges. How to fix this ?

This didn't help. I have the same issue. I created a new account in order to fix a recurrent problem opening IWork 09 after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I had tried all the suggested solutions for that with no luck. I also could not export anything in Preview. The export dialog would not come up. Restoring my original account did not work. So as a last resort I had to create a new account and transfer everything over from the old one. Now I cannot sync my Iphone. I repaired permissions, and still get the same error. This Mountain Lion upgrade has really messed EVERYTHING UP. And I notice pretty much NO difference in the OS, certainly not enough to justify all these headaches.
Now I am trying to restore my Iphone and see if that helps. Hopefully it won't cause more problems and I lose everything I already have on the phone.
There is an update to the software, so maybe that's it. But I don't know. I also don't know if I'll be able to use the Iphone backup that was supposedly created just ten minutes ago on my computer.
Oh, and I was able to get Preview to export things successfully at first when I created my account, but now it won't again. This is on the NEW account. EVERYTHING IS MESSED UP!!! I haven't even bothered to try and run IWork 09 yet.
