Have you tried opening one of the files on a different computer to rule out that computer having an issue? I see no reason why a .mov file would no longer work.

Stepping out on a limb, I think .MOV/.mov files (there's no difference) are pretty incorruptible.

Latest Perian v1.3.2 is available on Macupdate (v1.2.3 on the Perian site: https://www.perian.org). The Perian recommend switching over to Niceplayer or M Player OS X.

There are a lot of other players out there but I don't think that's your problem. It's either a glitch on the computer you're using or a tweak in the files themselves. (Almost) everything is recoverable but you may have to decide how important those files are to you. Good luck!

Is there a movie you can upload so other can try the movie?

Thanks for your thoughts about this! I'll try another computer as suggested and.....

I'll see about uploading a file if I can. It'll have to be in a few days but will see if I can.

Thanks!
