A:

Older discussion; don't know if it applies to Mountain Lion: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3832288 - switch iTunes to 32 bit mode.

iTunes 10.4 for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3771 - "iTunes 10.4 or later on OS X Lion opens by default in 64-bit mode. However, some older media files in your iTunes library may still rely on QuickTime to play, and QuickTime only runs in 32-bit mode. In order to play media that encounters this issue, you will need to open iTunes in 32-bit mode first."

P.S. If you had posted this error earlier I could have provided it straight out.
