.mov files play in quicktime 10 but not quicktime 7

i have .mov files that I made in the qt version before 7
I upgraded my OSX to 10.6.7
I purchased the Pro version of QT 7
It will not play my .mov files
However, my other machine that also runs OSX 10.6.7 has QT 10 installed and it plays the movies
So...
I tried to find Quicktime 10 to purchase on the Apple site and they do not sell it
will it be on my snow leopard install disks?

Compare the audio and video compression formats used in the MOV files against the QT component configuration of the two systems in question. You will likely find that the codec components needed to play the MOV files are not installed on upgraded system or the have broken paths or simply need to be updated to work correctly with the non playing system.

It is installed by the Snow Leopard installer but is not stored as a separate application. (I.e., it would have to be extracted from the Snow Leopard installer package but cannot be installed on non-Snow Leopard operating systems.

.mov files play on my computer but not on friend's....

I burned several QuickTimePro-created .mov files to a DVD which I then sent to a friend. When she received it, she was unable to play any of the files and was directed to a webpage with lots of 3rd party plugins with no clear idea which one was needed.
Under Info on the files I see they are encoded with Sorenson H.263, MPEG Layer 3.
My friend has regular QuickTime (not Pro).
Thanks!

Thanks for your help.
She tried that but still no luck.
When she tries to play the file, QuickTime launches, bringing up a black box with no video or sound. After trying the maneuver you suggested, the only difference was that a progress bar appeared at the bottom of the black box and moved, as if a video was playing. However, still no video or sound.
Hmmm.....

Mp4 and/or .mov files play on my computer but not on host server

I created a movie page using iWeb. When I save it and publish it to a local folder on my computer it works fine. But when I upload it to the server with my host company (not mobileme) the video does not play at all.
I've been on the phone with the host company and they say the file is too large (90mb) and it takes way too long to load. Another person at the same host company told me that the file had to be converted from mp4 to swf (cant find a free converter to do that with to test it) and lastly I've read and tried some of the post here but they don't work.
When I check the website on a PC thru IE, it gave me an exclamation mark on the bottom left hand corner of the browser. I clicked on it and here is the error:
self[...].src' is null or not an object
iWebSite.js line 496
I check google for this error but I cannot understand what the problem is.
If there is anyone out there that can help I would really appreciate it.
thanks

The file is a bit big and you would be better to upload it to somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo.
The suggestion that you convert it to flash is because this is a more universally acceptable format. A lot of PC users don't have QuickTime player installed.

Mov file plays well on PC but not on MAC!

A friend of mine converted a video in QT on his PC and it plays perfectly fine on any PC but when i play that same file on QT for OS X the audio is sped up and is out of sync from the video.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

No, the Mac only displays ONE menu bar also if you connect two monitors. You can select the monitor which should display the menu bar in System Preferences -> Displays.
Also there is a tool called Secondbar? But never tried it myself.

.MOV files play in Quicktime 7, but not in Quicktime 10.2

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2. I have the newest Quicktime (10.2) and Quicktime 7 (Pro). There seems to be a problem with Quicktime 10.2. It opens, but cannot play, my .mov files. Quicktime 7 still plays them perfectly, though.
Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!

There's nothing to fix.
QuickTime 10 can't play all of the formats (codecs) that play just fine in QuickTime Player 7.
Use both versions.

VOB Video files play in Premier Elements but not in Organizer

I just purchased a new Dell Studio 15 Laptop, running Windows 7 (64bit), with an i7 cpu, and my VOB video files play and show a thumbnail in Premier Elements 8 but do not in the organizer. Has anyone found this problem and a solution?

Hunt
Thank you for responding so quickly. I first installed my Premier Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8 on our Vista desktop computer, and everything worked fine. I purchased my laptop with a high end cpu, hoping to improve performance, and moved my application over, and now I am unable to play these videos when in the Organizer, while they do play in Elements (they played in both applications on the slower Vista computer).
I tried to update premier elements to 8.0.1, (I am running 8.0) but the updater sayes no updates are available.
I created the VOB files from my old family video tapes using a Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder, model MRD-MC6 if that helps. I didnt try to strip data from the files, because I dont know how, and think I shouldnt have to, given that everything worked fine on my older Vista desktop.
One other clue- if I try to import one file at a time to the organizer, I get the following error message:
"The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.
Perhaps the Organizer and Premier Elements use different codecs, and the on in my organizer doesnt work." Any ideas how to check if I have the proper codec(s)?

My movies will play on my iPod but not my computer

I've purchased a few movies in iTunes (2 Days in Paris, Inglourious Basterds) that play fine on my iPod—and have bought television shows that play on both my iPod and Macbook—however the movies that I have purchased on my iTunes won't play on my computer. This is the computer on which I bought the movies and I am using the most current version of iTunes. A screenshot shows up in "Now Playing" but I otherwise get a black box where the movie should play (screengrab attached). Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it?

I'm having the same problem. All suggested fixes from Apple have not worked. I get the same picture in the corner, and the menu screen will show up too and play music, show the screen shot in the corner for each of the scenes, but no movie will play. I'm at my wits end -- I hope someone has a new fix to try.

Export for web files play on one server, but not on another.

I exported my movie from QT Pro 7.6.6 and it created all the files I need. I have the movie "sniffer"(movie that determines which version to pull up depending on device) and then the sub movies. When I go straight to the sniffer in Safari with the files on my client's server, the movie plays fine. When I do the same from my iPad or iPhone, it won't play from that server.
If I move the exact same files to another server and go to the sniffer, the movie plays on all devices. Could there be some sort of server setting preventing them from being played on my client's server?
If so, what specifically needs to change on the server?

.MOV Files playing on some machines not others

Ok, so this morinig we are having an issue win which a file that will play on two of our macs will not play on any others via QT. When I open with QT X, I get a dialogue suggesting the file is corrupt, when I open with QT7 I recieve the old "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie". On this machine, I can open these files via VLC and Handbrake, but not QT. We have two other machines that can play them fine in QT, so I thought it was a missing codec issue. Comparing the Quicktime folders from both root->Library and root->Syatem->Library show that I have all of the same codecs installed, so that cannot be the issue.
The files in question are from a Firestore capture drive, and have a .mov extension.
Any help appreciated,
-Will

I'm having the same problem. It must because of a recent QuickTime update. I suspect the iTunes 10.5 update is the culprit. I shoot with a FireStore (FS-C) and have 5 Macs that can no longer read any of the .mov files. All the Macs (MacBook,Pro 8,3 / MacBookPro 8,2 / MacBookPro 5,2 / MacBookPro 2,2 / MacMini 4,1) are running 10.6.8 and all were capable of reading the FireStore files...until very recently. The last footage I edited was on October 9th. Somewhere between then and today (October 25th), an Apple update made the .mov files unopenable. When I try to play the files in Final Cut Pro (7.0.3), I get a "General Error" message.
I've installed VLC and the files will all play properly in the VLC player, so the files themselves are intact.
UPDATE: Yes, the problem stems from a recent QuickTime update. This has been confirmed in the following support notice from VITEC:
http://www.focusinfo.com/dynassets/documents/downloads/MACOSX_Supp_Anncmt_10.21. 11.pdf
I'm going to try downgrading my installed QuickTime and I'll post the results.

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.
