185897 2003-10-23 08:37:00 I was downloading a video from NASA but it won`t, play I get the messages that because its missing some compression element and that it cannot be found on the quicktime site. Can anyone tell what is going on and how to correct it. The NASA video took 1 1/2 hours to download and now I cannot play it. space1 (1843)
185898 2003-10-23 08:42:00 i assume its an MOV ???

if so simply update quicktime.

if not then you will need to say what the extention is (eg avi, mpeg)

185900 2003-10-23 10:40:00 IIRC, The latest quicktime uses some form of different codec's, coz my XBox and MPlayer in Linux cannot play the LOTR - ROTK trailer from the Lord Of The Rings website with sound, however on the official player it works fine..?

Could be that the old Quicktime is the same but doesnt want to play "just" video?

185901 2003-10-23 11:00:00 What extension on the file you're trying to play? In Quicktime go to Edit > Preferences > Quick Time Preferences MIME Settings and see if the option is there in the plugins for the files extension. You could probably find some additional plugins at the Quick Time site or elswhere via google.

185902 2003-10-23 11:05:00 Sorr,y wrong. In Quicktime go to Edit > Preferences > Quick Time Preferences and on the drop down list go to File Associations and make sure your file extension is associated there.
