Part 3: Solution to Play Video/Audio Format Files Unsupported by QuickTime
For the video and audio files beyond the above-mentioned list, QuickTime will go on strike. Fortunately Apple users may call for its plugin for help, like the popular Perian that is known as a free, open-source QuickTime component, letting you play any media file type you want once it is installed. Unfortunately, a great number of people complained that perian is incompatible with Mac Mavericks, let along the Yosemite, and want an alternative solution. In request for this, we have screened out some useful third-party video converter software to solve the problem - MacX Video Converter Pro is the most remarkable one to change the file into QuickTime video format, or convert QuickTime to MP4.
- I frequently used Quicktime Pro 7 to do quick edits to video clips - it worked up through High Sierra. I recently migrated to another laptop running Mojave. QuickTime Pro 7 opens, but all the Pro features are greyed out. 'No problem, I have my registration key'.
- Download Apple QuickTime Player 7 for Mac to play QTVR, interactive QuickTime movies, and MIDI files on your Mac. Apple QuickTime Player 7 has had 0 updates within the past 6 months.
It is the Swiss-army knife, letting you convert any videos like MKV, WMV, 3GP, MTS, AVCHD, FLV, AVI, etc to MOV, MP4, MP3, etc. You just load the unreadable video, choose the MP4 or MOV format from 'Mac General Video' and then click 'RUN' button to start the video conversion. Just three steps, you can finish the video conversion and therefore playback any video in QuickTime. What's more, you can also DIY your converted video file like crop, trim, add watermark or add subtitle to better suit your QuickTime player.
