I'm trying to make an iMovie and some of my video clips will not open. They are in a MOV format, but I am getting this message, Quicktime Player cannot open "cache 111.mov"
Other MOV format clips have worked, but I have about 50 that will not? It is possible these clips came from a video recorder to tape which was then uploaded to my Mac. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
