I'm guessing that the resource forks are missing, and will be
needed to play (or convert) these movies. Probably the
resource forks are on the original disk where these were saved,
but the "zip" did not include it. (The resource fork may also be
lost when such a movie is copied by a Windows computer.)
"QuickShow" has zero bytes, meaning everything was in the resource
fork. Most of the rest have data, but still cannot be played
as-is.
Nowadays, the default save format for Quicktime puts everything
in the data fork, to make a "cross-platform" movie. But in the
past this was not the default behavior.
