QuickTime for Windows doesn't support 64 bit OS's.
Run the software in 32 bit mode. Read your XP help guides to learn more about it.

QuickTime installs and runs on 64-bit Vista, but unlike iTunes, which has a 64-bit version (and which is needed) it is still a 32-bit application (runs under WOW64 in Vista). No support for Windows XP Pro 64-bit.

Windows Requirements

* 32-bit editions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Vista
* 64-bit editions of Windows Vista

I've seen solutions for DV codec under win XP x64 - changes in the installation congiguration file, easily solves the problem.

Is there any same methods for quicktime codec? I don't need a player, just codecs for video editing. May be codecs adaptation will be easier thing? There are just one or two DLL's.

Quicktime opens .mov files for me in XP x64.

A few questions:

1. What codecs are being used in the .mov files?
2. Did you uninstall and reinstall it?
3. Are the .mov files on the Web, so I can try opening them?

You cannot force software to run under 32-bit mode in XP x64. 32-bit programs run automatically in 32-bit mode using WoW64 (which is a 32-bit to 64-bit translation layer) in XP and Vista x64.

I can't figure out, what codec used in .mov, I was tried to uninstall and install:
QuickTime player 6.0
QuickTime player 7.4.5
QuickTime alternative 2.51 (installed by now)

Additionally, using K-lite 3.85 + K-lite 64bit v. 1.31 codec packs

Try to open that small file: http://file.handwrited.info/pic/NRJ_sound.mov (5.7mb)
I have another file with size about 1Gb, looks like uncompressed video, but they too big.

It works for me in Firefox and IE. It also worked when I downloaded the file and opened it in Quicktime Player. I'm using Quicktime 7.2 with no additional codecs (besides Windows Media Player's) installed, though. I've had problems with Quicktime 7.4.5, so I downgraded.

K-lite might be interfering with Quicktime. Uninstall K-lite and use another codec pack like ffdshow. Uninstall Quicktime alternative and use any version of Quicktime from 7.2 and up.
