When I play files using quicktime, it is distorted and really poor quality. If I play video, it gives me two audio equalizers, should I reinstall quicktime?

Yes, get latest version, but make sure you setup the preferences correctly. this will ensure good quality playback.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

hey , i had this prob too, download the divX player, it'll tell you what codec is needed and is a better player than windows, then head over to download dot com and look up audio or video codec as needed and you should be sorted.

Probably because the movie is loading.\nDo you have the latest version of Quicktime?

SVQ3 is the Sorenson 3 codec. QuickTime plays it fine, but if you insist on being able to play it in Windows Media Player get QuickTime Alternative from here \nhttp://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm\n\n\nOR BETTER YET, you might try pasting the same question on www.google.com  ;-D

I happens to me also. It means that that website uses different codecs that the ones you have on your media player. Go to microsoft.com and look around for free downloadable updates for windows media player

If you don't have DIVX player installed you should get that. It's free. Almost all non quicktime/real player movies will either play in divx or Windows Media Player. The install will also have the divx codec for media player.

First, check to see if you have the latest version of Quicktime. I had a similar issue. I uninstalled Quicktime, then installed the latest version, and that worked for me.\n\nAlso, if you are using Mozilla Firefox browser, you may need an addition plug-in. If this is the case, you should get a little bar at the top of your screen that says "additional plug-ins needed" and will give you steps to get the plug-in.

Save the file and open it from within Quicktime. Sometimes files are simply not recognozed by the creating program. You may have another file (like Windows Media) set up to read quicktime files. That'll create trouble.

Depends on the verison of Windows Media player that you have.\nYou can always install "Quicktime" to play MP4 files.\nI'm listening to one now.\n\nHere is the page where you can get the installer-\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/mpeg4/\n\nmessage me if you have any questions.

that means your video has a bad encode, and your program can't read it.\n\nYOu'd have to reencode/recapture your source video.

Try reinstalling quick time again, that maybe will solve the problem. I remember that happened once with me, and them after i reinstalled quick time everything ran well again

You simply need the correct codecs (COmpressors and DECompressors) installed to play the files.\n\nThe one I use is called K-Lite Codec Pack, and is free.\n\nYou can download it from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

Because your PC misses plug-ins and ad-on in order to play these files.\n\n+ you should download real player, quicklime, adobe flash 9...in order to display properly.

you need to have the proper codecs installed or correct video drivers.  Try updating your video card drivers and then update your player software.  If that still doesn't work then you can utilize software like Ace Mega Codecs Packs...it has several video and audio codecs in one easy to use installation...I'll include a link for it as well.
