    Hey guys again kinda new here so if this is in the wrong forum can someone tell me where it goes, thx. Anyways my friends dad filmed about 200 scenes for a movie and sent me them as Mov files. When I open them in my quick time player they have just a black screen but the audio works. My local tech store said i need to download a codecs or something.. Well im not to amazing with computers so if anyone can tell me what’s wrong or send me a codecs link thatll work thatd be amazing. I really don’t wanna have to convert them to something else. thx

    a mov file is an mpg file. Chang extension to mpg. Do it one one to make sure I know what I am talking about. Then do the rest.

    Hope to see you

    Yes, this is most likely a missing codec. Use the QuickTime Player Movie Inspector Window (Ctrl+I) to see which codec it is. Then you’ll have to find and install that codec.

    What was the make and model of camcorder used?
    What version of QuickTime player is installed on your computer?

    Did you try what I recommended? Open the Movie Inspector in QuickTime and see what codec the video uses. Like this:

    Hate to bug you but this is exaly what comes up.
    32-bit Float (Little Endian), Stereo (L R),
    48.000 kHz
    DVCPRO HD 1080p30, 1628 x 916,
    Millions

    tried some google searches but I can’t really find out what to do with this or how to find the rite codec, if I just type that in or anything nothing comes up. Again I’m really bad with computers, so if it doesn’t take to much out of your time where should i go from here, having found you sshowed me to.

    [Riley Chafe] “DVCPRO HD 1080p30, 1628 x 916,”

    That’s what we needed to know.

    [Riley Chafe] “tried some google searches but I can’t really find out what to do with this or how to find the rite codec, if I just type that in or anything nothing comes up.”

    You need to buy the RayLight Decoder ($45 USD) in order to get a DVCPRO HD codec for QuickTime.
