QuickTime won't play .mov file

I'm transferring an .mov file from computer 1 to computer 2 via flash drive. File plays on comp 1. It doesn't on comp 2, but other .mov files play on comp 2. Any suggestions?

iOS 7.1

1) MOV is a generic file container. What compresion formats are used in the non-playing file and is computer 2 configured to play these formats?


2) In what format is the flash drive formatted and how large is the non-playing source file? (I.e., some disk formats have restrictions on the file size being copied.)
