I am trying to find the H264 codec to play some clips and I have not been successful thus far. I have the lastest Quicktime but it won't play the clip even though it should have that codec. Any help is appreciated.

I did find that same page for the codec but for some reason it did not work. Is there a specific folder that it should be in?

What dose the Quicktime error message say? - Is there a number following the message? A week ago I downloaded a video file that would not open - It said it was a H264 codec but Quicktime couldent play it - FFtoMpegX opened it - But thats a mac program. |

Windows Media tells me that I need the codec. The message I get from Quicktime is Quote: Error -50: an unkown error occurred
This is a one clip of many I have downloaded but can't get to work because of the codec.... http://www.ultrashare.de/f/8406/Teodora_Rutigliano_18.5.06_ComixVideo.avi

Its a h264, yuv420p, 768x576 - And my Quicktime did not open it. So my minions at the lab converted it to a super cool codec... http://rapidshare.de/files/21067341/Teo ... avi.ff.avi DivX 6.0, 768 x 576, Millions MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz I dont know why we cant open it - And I dont know why people choose oddball codecs - H264 takes forever to encode at 2 passes - And the results are so so at best. That why I dont use it - All the videos at ITUNES are H264 - Anyway - Good talk, good talk. |

Rocky, I played the clip fine with VLC Media Player. Couldn't play it with anything else though. |

I have had good luck with VLC when nothing else would work.
