QuickTime Player can't open "Hot Fun (1920 x 1080).m4v-TEMP" because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  What gives?

    Morning jbacoustic,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you have issues playing media from a third-party device, make sure the software that accompanied the device is installed on your computer.

     

    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

    Adding additional media format support to QuickTime

    Also try renaming the file to end in .m4v only.

     

    Best of luck,

    Mario
