Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video.
How to search for an app that works with your file
You might already have an app that supports the format of your file. If you don't know which of your installed apps to try, your Mac might be able to suggest one:
- Control-click (or right-click) the file in the Finder.
- From the shortcut menu that opens, choose Open With. You should see a submenu listing all of the other installed apps that your Mac thinks might be able to open the file.
If none of your installed apps can open the file, search the Internet or Mac App Store for apps that can play or convert the file:
- Include the name of the media format in your search. To find the format, select the file and press Command-I to open an Info window. The format might appear after the label Kind, such as 'Kind: Matroska Video File.'
- Include the filename extension in your search. The extension is the letters shown at the end of the file's name, such as .avi,.wmv, or .mkv.

Multimedia packed with features
Quicktime is a program for Mac machines that runs all sorts of media files with ease.
QuickTime hands you all the tools you need to experience any media you have. It's a lot more than that, however. It has the ability to record your screen, work with extra plug-ins, and can even sync to your social media. Streaming live feeds is smooth and easy to set up.
The plug-ins are a highlight here. They allow some useful, and sometimes wonky, features. If you remember audio visualizers from the '90s, you'll enjoy that nostalgia with extensions that add them. Others provide the ability to customize playlists and cut videos into each other.
It's important to remember, though, that some of these are not available to free users. Yes, the default multimedia player that comes with Mac products is a free version that requires payment.
Amongst all the positive things this application has to offer, there are few more frustrating things to consider. The program takes up 15% more resources than competitors like VLC. It runs great, on average, but when compared to other options, it is found lacking.
At the end of the day, it has some great qualities to offer. It's a familiar media player layout that is easy to get used to, and it gets the job done.
Where can you run this program?
This program runs exclusively on Mac machines.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes. VLC does everything that QuickTime does, but better.
Our take
