Dec 5, 2013 11:00 AM in response to Prettygeek87by C F McBlob,There are a lot of third party codecs for QT http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html
Most of them are "payware" with no guarantee they'll actually do what they claim. I spent hundreds back in the days before QT10 and eventuallty found that EVERYTHING those purchased codecs do... can be done for FREE with VLC media player.
