Hello World, who knows how to watch video from a USB stick??
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
True, there macmacverickk, 🙂 but even with Perian, QuickTime still can't play any format that VLC can't also play, and QT will still be unable to play some formats that VLC can play.
VLC also offers you video capturing, frame capturing and can even play files with minor corruptions.
Frankly, I wouldn't bother with QT at all.
You click on the USB icon in a Finder window, and double-click the video....😕
Where the video is (hard drive, DVD drive, USB, network) makes no difference to OS X.
If you are having trouble making QuickTime play a particular video, it's probably because QuickTime doesn't support a lot of formats. Save yourself a lot of hassle and download the free VLC videoplayer and use that for playing your videos (whatever the format, VLC will probably play it):
A big ➕ for VLC... always saves my life. But another good thing to get anyway, is a plugin for Quicktime called Perian. Just download it and run the installer. It will automatically make Quicktime compatible with a lot more video types...
How do I watch video from USB sticks please Thomas
