quicktime player corrupt
Not playing much, especially AVIs (and I have Perian installed). Also, fails to respond to mouse clicks in media window. Need to use keyboard commands to close windows and activate. ?

If it's corrupt, download a fresh copy: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
I gave up on Quicktime/Perian for .avi files. I had a couple of avi files that would not play the audio, but the picture was fine.I removed Perian and downloaded MPlayerX from the App Store (free). All is well now.
I'm running Quicktime Player X version 10- on Lion. It's not available, yet, as a separate download.
Yeah, I've set MPlayerX up as the default media player. And if that don't work, VLC is ready willing and waiting. Quicktime 7.6.9 plays everything just fine, so it would seem to be a problem with the new player in Lion more than anything else. We'll see what happens when things get updated in their usual fashion.
I noticed the same problem. Did you use a Terminal command back in Snow Leopard to disable the rounded corners in QuickTime X? I had done that, and returning it to the default fixed the unresposive controls. Try copying and pasting the following into Terminal (without the quotes) and pressing Return:
"defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGCinematicWindowDebugForceNoRoundedCorners 0".
I had used MacPilot to do that command in its UI, but, yeah, reversing it _did_ solve the unresponsive button problem. Thanks. (Although I absolutely hate those round corners!) Now the AVI problem remains. It may be moot- I've basically gone to MPlayerX as my default. It has nice square corners, just like the original video. The only reason for round corners is to emulate a CRT, and, well, anyone seen one of those recently...?
Okay, I went to the Perian support forums, and, yup, after removing several older codecs from the Quicktime library folder, all seems back to usual- that is, AVIs are playing in QTPlayerX, again. Yes, as of the moment, it looks like there's still a slight bug with the square corners, but I'm good to go to reset QTPlayerX as my default. Thanks all.
wadesmith,
Can you elaborate a little more on the Perian support forum URL and what codecs you removed from the Quicktime libary folder (assuming /Library/Quicktime)?
"Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: FFusion, Xvid =
Delegate, 3ivX, DivX, DivX Decoder, XviD, msmpeg4v1, msmpeg4v2, =
AviImporter, EX_M4S2, Casio AVI Importer, AC3 Codec, and MatroskaQT."=
Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of those components. Guess I'll stick with MPlayerX.
