Mocha not opening movie files

My After Effects Adobe CS6 student version 5K retina display Mac is not working and the mocha is not opening movie files I have in my computer. How do I resolve this? Please send me instructions via my e-mail:- [email protected]

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

Leopard 10.5.4 not open mov files on disc

Since 10.5.4 files on disc with.mov extension will not open. Default application (Quicktime) is correct. Clicking on file in finder (once) launches app instead of showing info as it should. Player then gets spin ball & quits.
Right clicking allows choice of Quicktime, which then quits
These files have been recopied to disc from commercial cd, so think they are otherwise OK.
Suggestions please.
TIA

That same model is sitting on my desk. HPInstaller_PSC4200v9.7.1 is the latest update for that printer. When it's installed, it's selectable in Print & Fax, and works without any issues. You might have to also install the latest HP update from Apple: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/hpprinterdriver1 11.html

QuickTime X on Lion crashes on opening movie files

Hi — am running OS X 10.7.3 on a 2010 MacBook Air, and have discovered that QuickTime (10.1) will not open movie files (tested with .mov and .m4v so far).
The error includes this line:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[NSViewController loadView] could not load the "MGPlayerDocumentView" nib.'
And upon trying again I get the message:
The application “QuickTime Player” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.
Any suggestions on fixing this? The files open fine in iTunes and VLC, but QuickTime crashes every time. In earlier days I'd have reinstalled it, but with the download of Lion that doesn't seem to be an option (no installer files available).

Ah well. Resorted to reinstalling Lion from the recovery partition, and that seems to have fixed it.

Can't open MPEG that opened before: "The file is not a movie file."

I have an unusually large (for me) MPEG file that I succeeded in downloading and viewing sometime in the last year and a half, and I kept it on my disk despite its being over 3GB because I thought I might want to look at it again. Now I do, only it won't open: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." I tried using Time Machine to bring back earlier versions of QuickTime - 7.5 and 7.5.5 as I recall; I now have 7.6.2 - but these wouldn't open the file either, so I figure it may have something to do with a change in the system. In any event, should it be possible to open this file (again, it did open previously, with no problem), and if so how? Thanks.

I have a similar major problem and wonder if it its to do with file sizes or codecs. I recorded video at work from a laparoscopic medical camera and output the video at the end of the session from the device's hard-drive to my 16GB memory stick. It is a 750Mb with file extension .mp4 and I now get exactly the same message as others if try to open it with Quick time (I can't open it with anything else either and nor could our medical illustration department). I bought the quick time pro upgrade as was told that would probably work and got same problem. Interestingly, I have had a second problem today having worked on a separate movie I put together in i-movie that I had recorded from a hi-def panasonic camcorder, imported and successfully edited (with ease) in i-movie and exported it "uncompressed" as a quicktime movie. It was only 5mins of video and produced a 15GB file. I wanted to save this onto a 16GB memory stick, but found out that the FAT32 folder system doesn't allow that file size! So, I formatted the memory stick to "Mac extended journalled", and was able to save the entire file onto the stick. But, now it won't open in quick time! I get the same message as above! Does anybody have any idea what these two issues might be?

Quick Time Pro - The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file.

I upgraded to 7.4.5 and now I can't view any of my AVI files. I am getting the following error message.
The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file. Please help!

It is most likley a problem in the new Quick Time (QT). My Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 two Saturdays ago. I have been making movies in iMovie then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOVs but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and added time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVIs had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than MOV. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last week, I sure hope Apple is also aware.

Quicktime: The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file.

Hi, im sorry to say im a bit challenged when it comes to this so i hope you can help!...
Im trying to import the movies from my Sony video recorder (handycam DCR-SR32) and when i open the folder for it on the desktop and try to open one of the files it says: quicktime: The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. All the files have quicktime icons next to them and i definitely have quicktime installed. I managed to import movie filed before into imovie and im trying again to do so... any clues as to what im doing wrong or how i can get the files into imovie to play and edit?? many thanks in advance

To Apple Discussions!
What type of files are they - .avi, .mp4, .mov, etc.?

Could not open location 'file:///home/geoff'

I'm using Gnome and after the last update today ( I always do pacman -Syu everyday and accept whatever it gives me in my noobidity ):(
Now I find that when I go to Places--Home Folder and Places--Desktop I get this message.
Could not open location 'file:///home/geoff' (or 'file:///home/geoff/Desktop')
There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location
Have I done something stupid in accepting all updates without question? Or is it something else?
Can you put me on the right learning curve and fix this.
Thanks

I think that the latest udev upgrade has caused the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I did the same upgrade on my laptop and got the same fault.
Apart from the faults in my previous message if I open a terminal over any page I'm looking at, like this for instance, it will not stay "above" the page when the box "only on this workspace" is checked. I have to check "always on top" to make it stay so I can cut and paste things.
When the terminal is minimized in the bottom panel and I click on it, it comes up but the moment I move the mouse pointer to the terminal screen it disappears back to being minimized.
I've never had this weird behavior before.
Hoping someone can help
thanks

Can't open movie files in browser or email

Hi, I'm not sure if this issue has been dealt with yet; however, I can't open movie files contained in emails or in my Safari Browser--even ones labeled as QT files. I am running Quick Time 7.0.4 on my 10.3.9 eMac. This is a recent problem, as I didn't have this difficulty until the last month or so. I had unchecked the "Open Safe Files" box in Safari's preferences some time ago as a precaution against a virus/worm, but rechecked it after the last one or two Security Updates. What else should I do to resume opening movie files? QT Player runs just fine with movie trailers, etc, but not in mails or the browser.
eMac, iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 Ghz G4, 768 mb ram

Under the Safari Help menu choose "Installed Plug-ins". This will confirm your QuickTime install.
Under Safari Preferences/Security make sure you've got plug-ins enabled.
Try dragging the email attachment to the Desktop and see if it plays from there.

Quicktime Will Not Open Caption Files??

I tried to locate this specific issue in the dicussion forums, but did not find sometihng similar or an answer. My apolgies in advance if I overlooked a similar post.
I have videos that I have captioned that will not open correctly on other computers (in QT), besides my own. I have added captions as a text track and made adjustments to their positioning on the screen. When others open the QT files from another computer, you can either just see the text track and the movie is a white box, or QT will simply not open the file stating this is not in a format that QT understands.
I noticed there is additional codecs listed with these problematic files, specifically VP6F, MPEG Layer 3, Text codecs.
My question what is the best way for me to remove or change the codec so anyone with QT can view? I have a workaround where I place the captioned QT into Screenflow and re-export, which removes the text codec and will work fine on other computers. I just want to see if there is something I can do in QT/QT Pro to avoid this workaround.
Thank you in advance.

Your files are MPEG-2 and you need additional software to view them in QuickTime:

and a different application than iMovie to convert the audio portion:

Quicktime won't open Mov files

Hi there,
I am trying to get files from work onto my home computer.
At work, we use Windows and Edius GrassValley (6?) to edit videos. I can convert the files to a Quicktime before I take them home and I've done this several times before.
But now it won't let me open the files in either Quicktime or iMovie. I'm not certain what I'm doing wrong, I don't believe anything has changed on my computer since the last time I brought home some files.
When I try to open them with Quicktime, it just says it's not a movie file even though the tag says it's a .mov and I converted the file to a quicktime file before putting it on my flash drive.
I'm currently running Mac OS 10.6.8, Quicktime 7.6.6 and iMovie 8.0.6 (I know, it's ancient!).
If any of you lovely people could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello Niebby,
According to the description of the issue provided looks like some change has been done in your system. Most probably a change in the installed codecs. I would suggest you to check whether the required codecs are installed under the folder "/Library/QuickTime".
If reinstallation is needed you can check this post "QucikTime Codecs Installation" to get some details about how to proceed.

Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files. Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1.
If I go to finder:
I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.

PS will not open .cr2 files

PC crashed. After re-install my CS3 version of Bridge and PS will not open .cr2 files whereas they did open theses files prior to crash. Lightroom still able to open same files. Please guide me to answer as am doing wedding for daughter's friend in 2 weeks and now am sweating bullets. Is it drivers, camera (Canon 50D) or something else?
TIA

The Camera Raw plug-in does not follow the rules of computer literacy.
I should have advised you to read the instructions on the download page.
You have to delete or move out the original plug-in from:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
And then place the downloaded version 4.6 in there.
It will not overwrite the old one, which has to go!
(To be certain of success, do a search for other instances of the file Camera Raw.8bi and delete them.)

"The file is not a movie file."

Hey Everyone,
I have a series of .avi files that, up until recently, I was able to watch using QuickTime and on my television through my EyeHome box...
Due to a hard drive failure, I had to copy these files to another hard drive. Now when I double-click on one, I get a message from QuickTime stating "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
Meanwhile, though, I can still play these same files using VLC Media Player. So what gives? Why would files that were previously playable with QuickTime suddenly stop working?
Yes - I've got all the latest software updates, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I, too am having similar problems. I had upgraded to QT 7.4 and my FCP 4.5 would no longer launch. I Archived and Reinstalled my osx 10.3.9. Now, all my MPEG-1 files that were previously useable in QT give me the "The movie could not be opened" message. The video is viewable in VLC, however.
I do have QT Pro 7. I cannot use MPEG Streamclip. When I try to open with MPEG Streamclip, I do not get any video.
I have purchased the Apple QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK, but that didn't help. I don't know if there is a playback component I had before that I don't have since the Reinstall.
Any help would be appreciated.

QT does not open AVI file

hello,
I have installed Perian but with Mountain Lion QT does not open AVI file (no audio and no video)
do you have any suggestion?

I am using QT pre-installed in Mountain (should be X)
QT X can only play files using codecs it is programmed to expect to be used in the loaded file container/with the loaded file's stated extension. For example, QT X will not play a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file with an MOV or VOB file extension but will usually play the file if the extension is changed to TS, MPG, or MPEG. On the other hand, the QT 7 Player tends to look at the internal header information and select a codec based on what the file says it needs for the actual playback. Thus, the QT 7 Player may frequently play files that the QT X Player does not play.
Besides supporting the the AVI file container, your QT system must also be configured to support the actual audio and video codecs contained in the AVI file and not have a "conflict" problem. For instance, Motion JPEG support for QT was dropped with the release of Lion. AVI files containing MJPEG video thay plays correctly under Snow Leopard will no longer play under Lion or Mountain Lion with additional support. In this case, Perian still provides such support. It also still provides support for DIVX, XVID, 3IVX, and similar third-party codecs commonly found in AVI containers. However, Perian support for such files can become conflicted if you have also installed the actual third-party codecs along with Perian and the different codecs fight over which is to be used for playback. This is why it is important to know the actual codecs used to create files using generic file containers like AVI and MOV and the codec components actually installed on your system, as well as, their potential for creating conflicts.
As to the actual playback of files, there are basically only three options (as indicated by the URL provided above:
1) You can conform the file and/or your system codec component configuration to play your files using a QT player app if possible,
2) You can use an alternative media player app the contains "native" support for the file containera and/or codecs used to create the files, or
3) You can convert the file to a compression format and file container that that is already natively supported by QT-based applications.
Since do not seem to know or are unwilling to identify the specific codecs causing a problem here, the only workflows left to you would be to try playing the file in an alternative media player which contains its own built-in codec support (e.g., VLC) or convert the files to something your current QT system configuration can handle (e.g., use a converter with built-in codec support like HandBrake).
