A colleague has emailed me several movies with names like "movie01.avi".
They're technical graphics stuff, produced from iterated computer
graphics calculations, not from any kind of video camera. They appear
with a QT icon on my desktop but trying to play them brings up the
"sorry, QT is missing a necessary software component . . . " dialog box,
and a blank white QT Player window. The Movie Info window's Format
field gives ", 444 x 348, Millions" (nothing before the first comma).
Searching Google and Apple Sup****t site has yielded lots of confusion
but no obvious solution (for me, anyway). Is there a straightforward
way to play, or convert, these?
Mac iBook G4, OS 10.3.9, QuickTime Pro and QuickTime Player v 7.1.3.
Thanks . . .
