Theofficial site ( -
codec.org/downloads/) has the actual dlls, but nothing to 'install' them to windows. I also tried installing the Web Media Extensions from the Windows store, but that does nothing. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1709 16299.371
Opus-tools provides command-line utilities to encode, inspect, and decode .opus files. Opusfile provides application developers with a high-level API for decoding and seeking in .opus files. DLLs for the required libraries libogg 1.3.2, libopus 1.1.1 and openssl, are also included in the binary package.
For playback on Media Player Classic, installing a codec pack like K-Lite Codec Pack Mega should do the job. I recommended K-Lite because the pack distributes Media Player Classic (the maintained 'Black Edition' fork after the official MPC:HC was discontinued) along with other codecs so it should be compatible. I always directly install K-Lite Mega Codec Pack instead of standalone MPC.
I couldn't find a solution to the lack of sound playback on Films & TV, but personally I was asked to install HEVC Video Extensions (paid) to play HEVC videos in it. Maybe you had HEVC Video Extensions for Device Manufacturers (same, but free and unlisted) pre-installed. Considering Microsoft makes normal users pay for such a basic feature, I don't think that their player should be relied upon as a full-fledged video player.
Can you install just the codecs? Apple has ended support for Windows users but the codecs are all I should need. I may even dump my i-phone service over this. It appears to me that Apple turned their back on all the windows users and forgot that we still purchase Apple products. That's a gross over-site in my opinion.
Sorry to be a bit late, but in the QuickTime installer, under the custom installation menu there is an option to prevent the QuickTime player from being installed, and an option to install only 'QuickTime Essentials', which should just include the codecs required. I fear that other replies to this forum are either trolls or don't understand the problem domain - even the latest replies are talking about needing a different way to play your files when clearly you have stated over and over again that your editing software lacks the codecs to work with certain QuickTime formats. I have the same issue with video output from a piece of desktop recording software, which Premiere refuses to import. I would recommend that you don't install the player itself again considering the massive security flaws it already presents, but the codecs in QuickTime Essentials should be fine. Alternatively there is QuickTime Alternative 3.2.2 which offers a standalone installer separate from Apple itself.
Thank You very much for your post with the youtube link, this was very helpful and informative important information! I do relate to you and agree! Apparently greed has taken over and good customer service with support has left the building these days. Not just with Apple but all others as well because camera and video equipment still uses this darn MOV file structure. I am also now having problems with it in the new VLC player, I can convert it using a video converter such as Any Video Converter but it is a pain to figure out which format will work best. Also to your point I should not have to go thru this to play a video from a camera that is not even a year old.
At this point we can only hope that Apple with other vendors using it get hurt from it and then maybe they will learn from this great error in judgement that they have done because of there greed. They are trying to force us to give up on our PC/Windows based systems in hopes that we will run out spending tons of money to purchase a Mac. If they think it will work guess again because as of now I will not ever get one, I want them to pay me back for every song, video, movie that I paid for and take back there I-Pod and I-Tunes that I had once enjoyed. I will no longer support any manufacture that still uses Quick Time or any of its related formats until they can give me something that will work universally on computers or at best have ones to work with PC users.
I see the MAC users who posted here in earlier posts are silent on this topic now. Some MAC users can come across as real snobs. They look past Apple's shortcomings and won't say anything negative even if it's true. Most don't even have the decency to acknowledge a Windows user taught them something.
You can pick up a Windows computer with just as much RAM, the fastest processor available with all the bells and whistles for about 50% less than a Mac. Don't get me wrong, 10 years ago Mac had a superior and cleaner looking operation system. Today, not so much. The world has caught up.
If you're into monopoly's then Mac is for you. It's true that Apple devices integrate better with mac computers in some cases. Duh! They also use Microsoft Office and several other Microsoft systems because Mac never developed anything better.
F. . Windows users are more likely to be aged between 25-45 ( averagely ) and Mac users are more likely to be between 18-25 years of age. There is another interesting thing about these two operating systems is that Mac users are more likely to live in Cities then Windows users. In other words, inexperienced KIDS are more likely to buy Macs.
G.Cost is the key factor in buying anything, because it is the return which people have to pay to the manufacture for its product. If you want a budget friendly market then Windows computer I mean PC is the best option for you. But if you have some extra money then you can also buy MAC. The main thing is that MAC will always cost you 100-1000$ more then PC for the same performance combination.
QuickTime for Windows is now a dead product. OS X development of QuickTime continues and is now at version 10.4. It offers many of the features only found in the previous Pro upgrade of the software. It even offers features previously only found in third party software like screen recording.
Adobe has worked extensively on removing dependencies on QuickTime in its professional video, audio and digital imaging applications and native decoding of many .mov formats is available today (including uncompressed, DV, IMX, MPEG2, XDCAM, h264, JPEG, DNxHD, DNxHR, AVCI and Cineform). Native export support is also possible for DV and Cineform in .mov wrappers.
Unfortunately, there are some codecs which remain dependent on QuickTime being installed on Windows, most notably Apple ProRes. We know how common this format is in many worfklows, and we continue to work hard to improve this situation, but have no estimated timeframe for native decode currently.
Other commonly used QuickTime formats which would be affected by the uninstallation of QuickTime include Animation (import and export), DNxHD/HR (export) as would workflows where growing QuickTime files are being used (although we strongly advise using MXF for this wherever possible).
I need to include some videos with our application that will be playable on a vanilla installation of Windows 7 or Vista. The question is, what format can I use to encode it that will be playable on a clean system install? (ie without requiring a particular version of Internet Explorer, QuickTime, etc)
We want to avoid AVI as it's pretty huge, and WMV as we also need to support playback on Mac. What else could we use? MP4, H264? I assume that QuickTime files won't play because Apple haven't ported QuickTime to 64-bit Windows.
Microsoft used to have a page titled File types supported by Windows Media Player that listed supported files types for Windows Media Player version 7 through 12. The original is not accessible anymore, but at least it's in the Internet Wayback Machine.
Your web browser will open a page that includes information about the related binary files, codecs, filters, plug-ins, and services installed on your computer. A technical support person might be able to use this detailed information to help you troubleshoot problems on your computer.

I prefer dealing with the original files, as transcoding results in quality loss (especially if it is a low-res lossy AVI already). Also, native AVIs are easier to edit in MEP than MP4-type files on a slower system.
My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.
I have a CD of MEP (Video Deluxe) from about 2001. There were some AVI's on it that I cannot open in more recent MEP or VPX. I presume that it has to be decoded or I would have to use Cinepak. Interesting to see how a common format can become obsolete.
In addition to safe format, there is the problem of which medium to use for archiving - magnetic media whether tape or disc, and optical media (writeable) all deteriorate over time, and cloud storage is the least reliable as it could disappear at any time.
