Movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible

downloaded purchased movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible. I get this message for Hannibal Rising: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

First, thank you for taking the time to respond.

The specs stated that it does record MPEG video.
The Mac mini is a super drive w/ + & - capability. I guess I'll have to buy another recorder to get this to work.

  • HELP PLEASE: DVD Movie Won't Play on Computer nor Transfer

    Hi! I burned a VHS taped program to a DVD on a Sony DVD burner and I made sure that I finalized the DVD. When I checked it while it was still in the player it did play on the TV very well but the DVD will not play on the computer nor will any of the programs recognize it.
    When I put the DVD in the Mac Mini a folder appears on the desk top that says: SONATA_VOLUME and has a red circle with a white line in the center of it.
    When I click on the folder and it opens there is nothing showing inside of it. QT Pro, iDVD, iMovie nor any other app will play it nor Handbrake, MacTheRipper will recognize it.
    I'd like to know what I did wrong and how to fix it so that I can transfer & convert this file for the iPod.
    I got the disks from compusa on sale so they are no name brands. Is the problem the DVD burner or the disks?

  • In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

    Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

    You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
    See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
    Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

  • ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include.  So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play.  HELP

    iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include."  So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play.  HELP  Very frustrating.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

    i just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

    I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and  QuickTime
    will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

  • Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

    I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

    After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

  • IPod Classic won't Sync to computer, says 74gb out of 80gb are used -but there's nothing on ipod. How do I restore?

    iPod won't Sync to computer, says 74gb out of 80gb are used -but there's nothing on ipod. How do I restore? Is anyone else familiar with this problem? It had over 25 movies, thousands of songs & hundreds of pictures, and it seems like they're still on there, because 74gb are used out of the 80 but when I turn the ipod on it appears to be at factory, fresh out of the box settings and my computer wont recognise it at all...

    For the following suggestion, when you connect the iPod to the PC, and iTunes open up, please close it, before you fix the drive.
    Your iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted, and maybe repaired by using command line, under DOS window.
    chkdsk drive: /F
    where drive: is the iPod ID D: or E:
    You can also try clicking the IPod properties, and run error checking in GUI, tick  "fix all error."
    If you have access to a Mac, you can use DiskUtility, and run FirstAid to repair the iPod.
    Good Luck!
    BTW, this problem arise because, iPod did not complete, closing, the Sync process, due to timeout, for Windows systems, I think it is maybe caused by Antivirus, or some other plugins, trying to make windows 7 look like Mac OS X.

  • IDVD autoplay movie won't play in DVD player

    My IDVD movie won't play in a DVD player when created in autoplay mode. It plays fine on my computer both in preview and on my computer's DVD player program and it works fine if I create a menu and button, just not if I create it in autoplay mode. I've tried it on my work compter and three DVD players and it won't play in any of them. Can anyone help, please?

    Hi Sue
    Thanks for responding.
    I used a 16x Maxwell DVD-R. The same kind of disc worked fine with the movie when I had a menu.
    I'm afraid I don't know what a Patchburn is.

    Hi JosefK:
    Welcome to discussions.
    Did you use a Data DVD by chance?
    It needs to be a DVD-R with iMovie 4.
    Are you using an external with Patchburn?

  • HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    I have a similar issue.  My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
    Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update.  I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack. 
    Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
    This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

  • QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

    QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
    First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
    I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
    Any new ideas?

    We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
    As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
    After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
    <embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
    Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
    Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
    Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
    http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
    Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov
