"The file is not a movie file."
Hey Everyone,
I have a series of .avi files that, up until recently, I was able to watch using QuickTime and on my television through my EyeHome box...
Due to a hard drive failure, I had to copy these files to another hard drive. Now when I double-click on one, I get a message from QuickTime stating "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
Meanwhile, though, I can still play these same files using VLC Media Player. So what gives? Why would files that were previously playable with QuickTime suddenly stop working?
Yes - I've got all the latest software updates, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
