Sometimes, you can even not play the MP4 in the QuickTime player.

QuickTime Player is the go-to option for Mac users. The player can handle a variety of digital formats, for instance, video, picture, sound, panoramic, etc. However, the popular media player doesn't seem to support MP4 format from time to time, and that's why people are reporting the "QuickTime Player can't open MP4" issue recently. It's frustrating as you naturally consider MP4 as a popular format that can be played on everything.

Of all the media formats out there, MP4 is the industry standard for video. It's also the most compatible format these days. Technically, the MPEG-4 format specification is based on the QuickTime format, hence QuickTime Player does support MP4 as one of the input formats. However, it seems QuickTime Player can open some MP4 files, but not all of them.

Here is the guide on how to solve QuickTime can't play MP4.

MOV is natively supported by QuickTime and a lot other Apple devices. iOS devices like iPhone and iPad even use MOV as the default video format for video recordings. The compatibility problem could be the result of the video codec used by the MOV video.
You can use Leawo Video Converter to change the mov to QuickTime format.

I strongly recommend using VLC for watching any type of video. Programs like Quicktime player, windows media player etc often need codecs to play certain video types and formats like avi, flv etc. As for quicktime player, you propably need to download the proper codec for your movie format type

.MOV from Kodak M893 IS camera are not recognized by Quicktime

The codec on mac does not recognise your file....try using a different player....vlc....gom player...mx player...instead of the one iTunes insist on chaining everyone to.
tip

A video file or a movie will not play, or you only have sound, or only video...

For 90% of video playback problems..

Just download FFDShow and vlc MEDIA PLAYER.
Its extremely rare with this combination, to find a movie file that wouldn't play, and if it doesn't play with these two, its probably a fake one.

get FFDShow here, its the first link http://www.free-codecs.com/FFDShow_download.htm

with ffdshow all you need to do is to run the setup file and click next repeatedly untill the setup is complete, and then just finish it, close it and its done, works on the background when movies are played,

more info about FFDShow - http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm

vlc media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

After you got these two installed, you should be able to play most if not all of the movies out there.

Note that there are some file formats that will not work with these two, I think mov and Realmedia player files will not play with these two, there are also many other file formats that are rare and may not work with these two another player or codec may be required. for mov files Quicktime is required etc.

Thanks,
E

I need to edit some files I recorded on my panasonic DMC-FZ28 camera and my editing program dont recognize the video files. Then I tried to watch them but not a single media player plays this .MOV files....

The .MOV files are apple quicktime files. you can download quicktime or install K-lite codec pack, which will let you open the files in Windows Media player. It may even let edit them in Windows Movie-maker. Cheers.
