why do I get quicktime and a tiff (uncompressed) decompressor are need to view this picture?

Because quicktime or a tiff decompressor is needed to view that picture.\n\nWindows does not support the format in question and neither does Adobe.

Try to find out what the Codec is. Sometimes the video maybe a dummy without a header code, thus being generally unplayable by any computer.\n\nI suggest if you know anything about PC programming, get a HEX editor and check the header code for the Codec format. That takes a lot of work and I only suggest it if you have no other option. P2P programs like Limewire are becoming increasingly less helpful now that the media bigwigs are cramping down on us.

If your Quicktime is unable to play a .mov file, it is either a corrupt file, not an actual .mov file at all (beware of a virus!) or you do not have the correct compression configuration installed on your computer.  If it's the third, try and find out from the maker of the file what they used and where to download the decoder.

You have to convert these files to mpeg format using appropriate software such as "herosoft" or "mpeg convertor".

A lossless codec if it was me, eg, RAW. Or whatever your digicam uses by default, I wouldn't compress it with any other format unless I have a copy of the original format compressed no more than it already is.

They do not have the right decoding software to view them...\n\nIE's Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab.\n\nScroll down to Java and check JIT compiler to enable it - also in Multimedia check Show Pictures.\n\nAlso update windows with all updates....

This is normal, if you've got the option in question switched on. You can tell Windows to colour the name of compressed file blue to tell you they're compressed. There's more detailed info about this here:\n\nhttp://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=534608

Quicktime is a movie format. JPEG is a still graphics format. You might try taking a screenshot (using the Print Screen key) and pasting it into Paint.

It should get started in Win Media Player. If noy, download the latest codecs from internet.

Use NeroVision express..\nThe movie automatically gets compressed according to the requirements with almost zero quality reduction.
