Q: Quicktime File Conversion of .AVI / H.264

My MacBook Pro running on Yosemite 10.10.2 - When I try opening  .AVI / H.264 files  (from YADA Dash Road Cam HD) getting the "converting" indicator, then a message telling me "Quicktime Player can't open"  ........."To see if additional software is available that will enable Quicktime Player to open the movie, click tell me more."

The Apple Support page for Quicktime Player list both of the formats in question as supported and able to be opened (and converted to .MOV) in Quicktime Player. Any ideas what's going on or if further software is in fact required. I'm running on Quicktime Player v10.4. ........Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
