The Windows version of QuickTime can't open WMP (Windows Media player) formats.
Your file is .wmv so you should open it using Media Player.

  • Quicktime player for windows

    Why is it that sometimes a video will play and sometimes I get a question mark over the Quicktime icon?

    I'm afraid that's beyond my technical competence to answer, tk. But if you don't get any answers from anyone else here, it might be worth checking in at the QuickTime-users mailing list:

    Hi, We could not reproduce the issue. Which Flash version are you using?

    PLEASE HELP ME I AM FACING A PROBLEM
    My name is Ameer.
    I watch youtube videos from ipad2 ( safari )
    today for my first time, when i run a video and i want to pause it, i touch the screen where the video is playing to reach the pause botton that is located on a bar under the video which appears when i touch the screen. Today every time i touch the screen nothing happens and i cannt pause the video nor adjusting its quality.
    So plese help me fixing this problem as soon as posible.
    Regards

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • Way is it when i want to watch a video, all i see is a sigh that says "blocked plug-in" ?

    when i want to watch a video all i see is this "blocked plug-ins" what are plug-ins?

    A plug-in is something like Adobe Flash Player or Microsoft Silverlight
    Since you provide zero computer and browser information, and also no information on what KIND of video you want to watch, anything else is a complete guess

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!
    Deb.

  • HT3775 can i download QuickTime Player for free?

    can i download QuickTime Player for free?

    If your talking about Quicktime 7, yes it is free. You download it from Apples web site. If you want Quicktime 7 Pro you need to download the Pro key from Apple's online store, you need both...

    If your talking about Quicktime 10, no. Quicktime 10 comes with Lion. And there isn't a pro version for Quicktime 10.

    Trying to watch a video on quick time player and i keep getting this message You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. what do i need to install and how

    I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
    The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
    http://www.perian.org/
    and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.

  • Is there a version of quicktime out for windows 8

  • Quicktime Pro for Windows

    I bought Quicktime Pro for windows because of the beautiful advertisement. It had to be possible to convert every video into every format possible.
    I tried to convert several mpg en mov files (from Sony camera) into mp4 and 3GP. Playing of these mpg and mov- files in QT is not a problem, even with audio. So it doesn't seem a codec problem. But after exporting these files into other format, there is no audio anymore.
    If I change a mov or mpg file and save it in the same file-format, audio is not corrupted.
    What is it that I do wrong?
    Dell Inspiron 9300   Windows XP  

    QT does not export sound from muxed mpeg files: QT Mpeg Limitations. This freeware should do the trick: Mpeg StreamClip
    If the mpegs in question are mpeg-2 you will need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent from Apple ($20 US). Note that these programs will not work with encrypted Hollywood movies.

  • Uninstalling Quicktime Preview for Windows

    Hi. I bought an iPod some days ago and was gonna install iTunes. As the installation proceeded right at the end this shows up:
    "This installer cannot upgrade the Preview of Quicktime 7 for Windows. You must first remove it." or something like that as I am Swedish.
    I have uninstalled everything I could that had something with Quicktime to do, I have cleaned the registry and also searched for 'Quicktime' and removed everything there.
    Though still I cannot install either iTunes or QuickTime.
    Appreciate answers.
