A:

OK! WHAT FORMAT ARE YOUR VIDEOS?

 

Actually, do you mind if we don't shout, my voice is a little hoarse today. What videos are these, and where did you get them from? QuickTime doesn't play every format (or "codec") - you might try installing Perian (which allows QuickTime to play extra codecs - sorry, don't have the link right now) or try playing them with VLC (http://videolan.org/VLC )
