See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.

I have a .mov file that won't play in Quicktime - do I need to download a decoder?

Found out via Movie Inspector that these .mov files have DVC Pro HD Codec - which I believe has to do with Avid Editing software? Anyhow, I need to find out what I need to download in able to see these video files? Do I have to purchase a decoder of some kind? Hopefully not? Is there any other way to view these files on my imac? I am running OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 and have both Quicktime 10 and 7 installed. Thanks for any help/advice!

Would you suggest I put them through something like Toast and try to convert it to an .mp4 or .mov file again?
Right idea—wrong application. You still need to be able to acces the a "pro" set of codec components. Basically you can purchase and install FCP X ($299.99), Motion 5 ($49.99), or Compressor 4 ($49.99) to gain access to the ProApps QT Codecs package. Once you install any of these apps, you can run the Software Update utility to download and install the "Pro" codecs package as described in SUPPORT ARTICLE HT4714. Once the codecs are installed as part of your system's QT codec component configuration, they will be available to all media apps that can access your system's codec configuration—e.g., QT 7, QT 7 Pro, QT X, iMovie, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, etc. Since you mentioned clients, I assume you are providing a profesional service and might find $50 a fair investment for access to the entire ProApps QT codecs package which also includes other professional editing codec families. In any case, this workflow does provide a low-cost, easy way to leagally install the "pro" codecs on your system(s).
P.S.
You can read DOWNLOAD ARTICLE DL1396 to see which "pro" codec families are included in the ProApps QT codecs package. This may help you better evaluate whether or not you wish to go this route.

Question: Is all the source footage shot in 16 bit audio or is some also shot in 12 bit?

Here's a fix for uploaded files that won't play.

Is this you? You've found a lot of files were uploaded, instead of matched. Some of those files might even be on albums where other tracks matched. Sure you want them ALL to match, but meantime, it would be nice if uploaded files would actually play! Sure, you can see their names, track durations, etc. but if you try to play them directly, nothing happens and if you try to play an album through, when it gets to an uploaded track, it stalls or skips past it. You've checked the file type and it's an AAC so you figure it can't be a file encoding incompatibility problem and besides, whatever the file type, Apple is red-flagging anything incompatible, tells you it's ineligible, right?
Guess Again - not all AAC files are produced with the same encoder and some of them, while they'll get past Apple's eligibile/ineligible screening process, probably shouldn't.
I routinely record vinyl using Audacity and at various times I've used different encoders (not that I knew it until now). As a result of checking which uploaded files play and which do not, I'm pretty confident of the following. While some AAC files created outside of iTunes might work, those encoded using Lavf52.36.0 will not. Neither will files encoded using Lavf52.64.2. There may be others.
So what's the fix? The same one recommended for getting files flagged by Apple as ineligible to pass muster. You need to make an AAC copy in iTunes and swap that for the uploaded files that won't play.
Here are the steps I use to get it done. You may be able to streamline the process though.
(1) Turn off wi-fi to prevent iTunes Match from attempting to match any new files until you're good and ready. If you don't to this, you may end up with files you've just created being flagged as duplicates.
(2) Select all files in an album that has some bad uploaded files. Select Advanced > Create AAC Version. (NOTE: I don't bother trying to separate uploaded from matched, just too much hassle.)
(3) Select one of the files, so you can File > Reveal In Finder. Generally this will get you to the album folder that includes both sets of tracks. The ones you just created will have a "1" in the file name.
(4) Create a folder on the desktop and move all the newly created files to it. Delete the "1" from the file names. Name the folder based on album title.
(5) In iTunes, delete the listings for the newly created files.
(6) Turn on wi-fi and wait for iCloud to reconnect. Watch the cloud icon - it'll tell you.
(7) Delete the album from iTunes (You're now getting rid of the copy that was originally uploaded, so be sure you've really got the new AAC files handy to replace them with). Note you will see an option to delete from iCloud too. Check it. You want these files GONE!
(8) Select Store > Update iTunes Match. If you do a search for the album from an iCloud enabled iOS device (I use Apple TV) after the update is completed, you shouldn't be able to find the album.
(9) Select File > Add To Library and go get the folder of tunes you created.
(10) Run Update iTunes Match again.
(11) Watch the iTunes progress bar. Once the matching process has checked to see if you've added anything to your library, you'll see fresh copies of your songs uploading.
(12) As another means of confirmation, once several of the songs have uploaded, do an iOS device search for the album. You should be able to get the album to appear before the upload is complete. You may have to back out of the search and back in to get it to work, but chances are when you first see the album, the song titles will all be grayed out. Once the update is complete, give it a minute and everything should become available to you.
(13) Pick a track that wouldn't play before and watch to see if the timer starts to move, followed by music! It is now time to do a little happy dance.
I know this is a far cry from figuring out what it takes to get songs that should match to actually do so, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

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.

Qt 7 plays my .mov t fcp won't play

My sad story starts like this:
I have a bunch of MTS files. After many hours of reading, I bought the ClipWrap software.
I am running FCP 6.0.6
Now I have a bunch of MOV files, which play fine on QT 7.
Unfortunatly, fcp won't play these files. I get an OUT OF SPACE error.
Any ideas?

You did not use ClipWrap correctly. You used it to simply unwrap the media to QuickTime. You need to transcode the media in ClipWrap to ProRes.

Editing video file in Quicktime Pro and producing a file which doesn't play

Hi all,
I have been editing some mp4 video in Quicktime Pro by setting the in and out position markers and cutting out segments (commercials). I save the file and end up with a .mov file which plays fine in the Quicktime player. (The file is a self-contained Quicktime movie.) At some point in the future, though, when I go to open the file in the Quicktime Player, only the audio plays. The video does not play, and the file opens as if it contained no video. That is, the Quicktime Player only shows the audio controls, and there's no area for video.
The same file plays fine in a Finder window when using CoverFlow/QuickView mode, which is very strange to me since I assume that uses the same Quicktime engine. It also plays fine in VLC.
Any ideas? It seems like there's some attribute on the file which is telling the Quicktime Player not to play the video, only play the audio.
Thanks in advance,
Russ

Any ideas?
First thing I would do when the file opens as an audio only files is check the "Properties" window to see what it says on a track by track basis. I also might try re-compressing the edited file to see if this prevents whatever is going on.

The movie i rented won't play

The movie I rented won't play, all it says is that Itunes is not available

Try closing the Videos app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Try using VLC Media Player 2.0.6. EasyWMA 3.3.5 or Music Converter 1.5.1 should be able to convert them to .mp3.

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook. All software is updated and current.

Hi I had this problem and tried all the usual deauthorize and the mini player fixes but they did not work for me. What worked in the end was I reset the play count on the movie (right click on the movie under the rented section of your library). I have no idea why this worked but it did.

For Bex Query Application string 7.x Version Error

An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

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?
