This discussion is locked Super TWiT Level 1 (0 points) Q: Quicktime Error -8971 Unknown Error I am trying to playback video found at the Internet Archives, and when I try to open .mp4s I get an error from quicktime saying that it can't open these files due to an unknown error. I am running quicktime 6.5.2. I think these files might need a divx codec. Is there any way I can get a divx codec plugin for quicktime. It needs to be a lightweight codec as I am running on an imac g3.
