    Well the question is, where on Apple are you having trouble?   What is your internet service (Cable, DSL, Satellite, FiOS, or some dorm or office with a firewall, or dialup)?     It is true there are some older Quicktime files that only open on Macs older than 2006, but they aren't that common.  They are that way, because the developer who made the Indeo Video format stopped making it, and Apple was not able to include it on Mac OS X.
