Quicktime wont play anything

I recently downloaded a .mov file and it played fine, but now quicktime suddenly stopped playing it. I double click on the file and it takes a while for quicktime to even open and when it finally does it wont play the file. It opens and the movie file's name is changed to "Untitled 2" in the taskbar. There is no audio or video either. Then when I go to File->Open File and click on the one i want to play, it takes a second and then an error message appears that says:
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime several times and I also downloaded the latest Quicktime/iTunes and it still gives me this message. I also can't play any other of my files in quicktime.
Anybody know what to do to fix this?

I recieved the same thing a couple of months ago and started to research it but never followed thru with it. I monitored it with a firewall at the time and still have what I jogged down in a notebook.
A computer you were communicating with at IP address ** has attempted to access a different port then exspected. Port 6970, this port is commonly used by Gate Trasher Trojan. Gate Trasher Trojan is a Trojan Horse program. This port 6970 is also used by Real Player and QT to recieve streaming media data.
That is what I had written at the time, certainly not a fix, but may provide some insight.

    Go to Adobe.com........
    If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....

  • Quicktime wont play my movie

    quicktime wont play my video cd's. when i drag and drop... it says there is an error opening it up.

    Quicktime has it's limitations and can't, natively, play certain video formats.
    Try VLC.  It should be able to play anything you throw at it.

  • Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

    itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

    I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
    I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
    I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
    I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
    I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
    I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
    I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
    Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

  • HT1711 ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***????

    ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***??????? HELP MUSIC WITHDRAWAL ARE I

    Hello choefer_fish,
    It sounds like you have some video files in iTunes that do not play when you select them in the program, but do play when you double click the files themselves. I would start by checking to see that iTunes is accessing the correct iTunes library by checking the Advanced tab of its preferences:
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes shows the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    From: Where are my iTunes files located?
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    If the location here matches the location you go to when you double click the files, then I would next use the Consilidate Library command to see if that gets iTunes to see it:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • QuickTime wont play .mov file

    Does anyone know why QuickTime wont play a .mov file from an iLearn 08 training DVD. It would not import into iMovie, which is what the file was for, iMovie training. When I try to play it tells me that QuickTime does not have the software to play the clip then directs me to the quick time components page. The file has a 1920X1080 dimension and it has a HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian) codec. I have downloaded various codec packages for quicktime such as flip4mac, perian, etc. Can any one help me out?

    Hi,
    I actually did contact the publisher and they were very helpful. Here is a copy of the email they sent me. It should solve your problem. Good luck!
    Thank you for contacting Peachpit Press. We apologize for the errors with
    these files. The QuickTime clips used in chapters 5 and 6 were encoded by
    the author using the HDV 1080i60 codec. iMovie 08 only works with the 1080i
    codec. At the time this book shipped, iMovie 08 was not available for
    testing.
    New files are available at peachpit.com here:
    http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321502671
    Click on the Updates tab and the page will refresh, showing you the
    replacement files. You may also request a replacement DVD.
    Sincerely
    Dominic

  • Quicktime wont play my xvid-imagine files, even after downloading the componets it said i needed

    I have uninstalled and re-installed quicktime several different times. Every time, it tells me that I am missing componets. So I went to the componet page and downloaded the xvid (thinking thats what i needed considering thats the file my movies are in), but it still wont play. I have also tried changing the options to the safe mode (gdi only) and still nothing. Is there anything else I can do??

  • Quicktime Wont Play MPG Files

    Hi,
    Just bought my first Mac - loving it. Only issue I have so far is that I have a load of video camera clips with an .mpg extension, which I copied onto an external drive when I had my PC. Now when I come to play these files, it comes up with "The movie xxxxxx.mpg can't be opened. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Wherever I look, it says Quicktime will play .mpg files, so I can't understand why they wont work. All the photo's on the same drive have gone into iPhoto no problem. When I go onto "tell me more" it starts going on about downloading additional media support. Not sure if I'm missing something simple!
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Darran.

    Yea...I did this when I got my Mac for Christmas 2009. I can watch the videos no problem...WITHOUT SOUND! If I use VLC everything works right, but I want to be able to burn the videos to DVD to watch somewhere else too. I bought a Mac because this was supposed to be easier...NOT!
    Thinking of going back to a PC. At least everyone knows they have issues.

  • Quicktime wont play video ANY VIDEO and I cant fix it

    I have downloaded all of the software on the quicktime website and it still wont play any of my videos. all of my stuff has different extensions and i have tried a ton of varieties of them but still nothing.
    Does anyone know what i could use to fix this.
    I have been looking in the forms all day but i cant find any suggested software at all.
    Please Email me at [email protected]
    This is not what i expected from apple or any of its products.

    What is the format or file extension you're trying to open via QuickTime Player?
    QT can open dozens of file formats and sometimes you need third party components or codecs to view non supported formats.

  • Droid x wont play anything

    my droid wont play any videos from youtube or any other website plus I downloaded songs and videos from itunes to the memory card and it says" the player does not support this file" and when I try to play a video it says " error video cannot be displayed or play" whats wrong with this thing I swear that I have never had any problems with my evo.
    I dont want to return this phone but it just that I cant get it todo simple things.
    Please help me.

    Have you updated to 2.2 that added Flash support, also did you update to the recent YouTube app that recently got released? I never had any issues playing YouTube videos on the droid X...  If you are viewing the full view web page it will not play without flash but the mobile version will play through the YouTube portable app without issues.  Also files from iTunes are usually in a different format because they add their copyrights to the file, this will restrict what players that can play the files and this sounds like your issue.
