Quicktime Pro 7.2 won't play Lynda Videos

[johndodd583@gmail.com]

Hi,

I can't play Lynda videos from "Photoshop CS3 for Photographers" with
Chris Orvig.
They all have the .mov extension. Quicktime Pro gives an error msg,
"error -2048 Couldn't open the file <XXXXXFILENAMEXXXXX> because it is
not a file that Quicktime understands".
I tried Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic from K-Lite, but
neither can play it either.
All my other videos are playing ok. After the error I installed every
codec from K-Lite Codec Pack Full.
It's still not working.

How do I fix this, where do I find a patch?

I've sent an email to Lynda technical support.




Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime Pro 7.2
K-lite Codec Pack Full - All Codecs Installed
Windows Media Player 9

I found a discussion on Quicktime Forums that said it was an audio
encoding error.
I'll use another if I have to, but which player would work around this
issue?

Hi John,
I suggest you try VLC : http://www.videolan.org . It should be able to play
your video files.
