RECAP: Your client should be able to configure his or her windows platform to play your files in the QT player app by downloading and installing the free Avid codec package or download and install an NDxHD video player like VLC which is also available as a free download. However, my recommendation would be for you to download, install and use the free HandBrake app to convert your MOV videos to H.264/AAC MP4 files or purchase a commercial app like ISkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe (several such apps are available) if additional output formats are required.
Hi,
I've installed Win 3.1 in DOSBox 0.72 along with the S3 video drivers that I found links for in these forums. I've been wanting to get the 1995 Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia up and running - my favorite multimedia encyclopedia, which I haven't been able to use for years. When I install it, the install goes through perfectly, then the install of the Apple Quicktime Movie Player 2.01 begins after Grolier is installed. It goes all the way to 100% then gives a message that the install was canceled and unsuccessful. When I try to launch Grolier, I get an error that says something like "QT initialization failed" and Grolier crashes. So then I tried to install the 1994 and 1996 version. The 1994 version works perfectly. Instead of Quicktime, it installs some Windows Movie Player.
When I install the 1996 version, everything installs perfectly, including the Quicktime Movie Player 2.03. But when I go to load the '96 Grolier, eveything works fine except the movies. When I open the Quicktime player from within windows 3.1 and not in the encyclopedia, it says it can't play the movie. After the '96 version of Grolier was installed, I then tried the '95. It opened! Yayy!, ? but it couldn't play any movies ? just like the '96 version.
So it's obviously the Movie Player. Is there anyone that knows a fix or anything I can try to get this to work? Thanks.
I updated quicktime, but one thing I found odd was that by default the new quikctime version installed using an installer downloaded from the apple website, by default installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime Alternative.
Quicktime for Windows is a messy affair indeed. Every security expert and Microsoft warn against installing Quicktime, and for good reason: the quicktime player is compromised, and if you do have to install Quicktime, only install the codecs, and AVOID installing the player.
One of the reasons why QuickTime not available PowerPoint 2010 issue may arise is because your computer uses the 32-bit version of PowerPoint 2010. This version can only play MP4 and MOV files only if apple QuickTime player for windows is installed on the computer.
