    I burned a video from a Mac, as a quicktime file, onto a dvd-r. I now cannot play it at all on a PC. I've got the newest version of Quicktime, and I've installed plenty of codecs, but I'm not sure if there is a specific one I need.

    I am having the same exact problem. I hired a film company to film some footage. The captured the video on a mac using Imovie I believe. The files open perfectly on a mac but I can not open them on a PC to edit them. I have a folder called video, inside that is video1.mov which is only about 20kb, inside the video folder is another called media, and inside that are files called clip01 (700mb), clip02 (1.2GB), etc. They do not have file extensions. If I add .mov or .qt quicktime tries to open the file but returns an error that it is a file type that quicktime can not understand. I have tried Quicktime pro, I have unistalled and reinstalled so many different codec, I have even tried converting the video using, eo video bink-smack, tmpgenc, etc. Still nothing. Can anyone help? Unfortunately I do not have access to a make to try to export these again.
