Recently I have updated QuickTime 7.7 and after doing the same I have started to face an interesting issue on the computer. As I am trying to launching movie on QuickTime I am getting an error message which can be stated as ‘The movie could not be opened", "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie’. I am waiting for the prompt replies of yours on the same. Thanks a lot in advance.
To get the exact root cause of the problem you have to furnish following details.
Operating system
Hardware configuration
Log file of the error message
I am suggesting following thing which you can try to fix the matter of yours.
- You have to go for updated system folder/library and delete the components and QuickTime folders.
- After that you should Empty the trash.
- Now go for non-updated System/Library and copy all the files and QuickTime folder and you have to paste the same on the updated system/library folder
Reboot system and see whether the thing is working or not.
I wanted to recommend that you should Pacifist. You can get the same from the official website.
You told me that you have started to face the issue after installing the updates so I think there is something wrong with the updates itself. So you should roll back the updates and see what results do you getting.
I have seen number of users who are suffering from the above mentioned problem. What I wanted to tell you that you should reinstall the operating system which you have installed as well as QuickTime on the computer. after doing the above mentioned things many of the users have managed to fix the issue which you have mentioned over here.
There could be bug issue with the updates itself and I think it is impossible to fix the bug issue on the public forum. However I recommend that you should contact the developer and tell them about the bug issue and file a bug report to them.
