I got this problem too (on mac OSX).

None of the solutions worked for me.


I just did a simple thing, and now I can play the movies...


I don't know if it will be of any help for you. But it cannot harm to try....


I went to Itunes (top menu) -> Preferences -> Play back -> Preferred Video Version: "Standard Definition".


And it works....


Strange that iTunes makes it so terribly difficult....

"This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
