This discussion is locked tom_dutch69 Level 1 (0 points) Q: Quicktime: "Required Compressor Could Not Be Found" OK, I have a Powerbook G4, running Mac OS X 10.2.8 (1.33 GHz PowerPC)I'm running Quicktime version 6.5.2.I've just downloaded some quicktime videos I just need to watch on my computer, Quicktime is opening the files with the notice:You may experience problems playing a video track in "video file" because the required compressor could not be found. Would you like to close the movie or continue?Whilst playing the files, I have audio, but no picture.Can someone possibly help me by telling me how I find out what compressor I would need to play these videos and where I can possibly download/install the missing compressors?I do hope it's an easy fix as that, failing that, does anyone know how I can convert the video files to something usable by my computer without losing audio or picture quality?

H.264 video codec is what you need.QuickTime player version 7 was released in April, 2005 and it was the first version to include H.264.H.264 is not available for version 6.5.2.

I just can't watch the videos because I can't upgrade to a newer version of Quicktime?I saw in another thread someone having a similar problem to mine and someone suggested flip4mac WMV/Perian software to solve the problem, although both of these are also not compatible with my older operating system. Is there a solution for 10.2? Helpful (0) Reply options Link to this po

What does it mean if "the required compressor could not be found? Where can I get a compressor that works? What's the difference between a compressor and a plugin? Where can I get the best plugins

Would you like to close the movie or continue?When I click "Continue," it is just blank. What compressor do I need, and where can I download it?Where can I download the user manual for LogoMotion? Without it, the problem is useless (it also obviously contains the tutorial).Also, when I open LogoMotion and one of the tutorial files, i get the error:Quote:This scene's environment could not be found. You may be asked to find it when you shade the camera view. That error is probably because of the missing compression module, as mentioned above. Any help?

Would you like to close the movie or continue? This warning is probably misleading and has nothing to do with missing software, a missing "compressor". The discussion in an earlier thread suggests that this is a problem in SheepShaver. You could try to restart the emulated machine and then try to open the movie in QuickTime Player without doing anything else first.
