Why does iMovie export .mp4 that QuickTime won't play? I exported a movie that I made using iMovie and the file it produced was an mp4, but when I double click the file to play it, it says "The file isn't compatible with QuickTime Player". I don't have any problem playing other mp4 files, so why does Apple's own software produce a file that the computer won't play? thanks!

Kind "Quicktime" file can't be opened with Quicktime Player I have a file (*.mov) that when I Get Info is actually a QuickTime Movie (Get info -> General -> Kind -> QuickTime Movie) yet when I try to open using QT I get the error "The file isn't compatible with QuickTime Player". I can open with VLC or IINA however. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks
