I have the same issue. Made a short video on my iPhone 4S and e-mailed it to myself (before sending on to family/friends) and it won't play on my MacBook Pro!


FYI, I have:


Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)


Movie details:


Extension: .MOV

Kind: QuickTime movie

Size: 2,311,251 bytes (2.3 MB on disk)


QuickTime player on my Mac is 10.2


Any help/suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated!


Thanks
