we have bought the latest iMac computer with M3 chip and cannot get our videos to play in QuickTime Player 10.5 version, however the same version is on my laptop with M1 Max chip which plays the video, any suggestions or help with this? Has this been superseded with another app?

Quit Quicktime Player, and try if moving these folders to the Desktop folder (just in case before deleting them) helps:
~/Library/Containers/QuickTime Player
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX/Data
If not, try to make a dummy user and see if Quicktime Player works in that account.
I have found IINA to be a good simple player for the codecs and wrappers that QuickTime Player does not support (H.265 with Codec ID hev1, Chroma subsampling 4:2:2 (Bit depth 10 bits) in Mojave, VP8, VP9, Opus audio, Vorbis audio, .avi, .webm, .mkv).

VLC Media Player is available from VideoLAN’s website. It is not on the Mac App Store.
get the free VLC player from the app store. It will play pretty much any type of videos and has a lot more features.
