| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | sbustamantev | 12/7/08 11:57 AM | This is something that happens to me also. Reinstaling version 2 again now. |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | ghs | 12/10/08 2:59 PM | Try re-installing QuickTime Player. This worked for me. |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | OzNinja | 12/20/08 12:45 PM | The solution, and it seems to work for some users, is to make sure there are no non-English characters in the file path containing the mov file. If there are move it elsewhere to a different folder without any non-English characters ( and make sure |

Just go to Tool ~ Options ~ File types and check the "quick Time(Mov)" Box and Picasa will immediately check your disc for all those files ;)) I donno why Picas |

| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | pacorramos | 1/6/09 12:09 PM | Same problem. I have QuickTime updated to 7.5.5, no non-English character at folder names, "MOV files" box properly checked, and also all my MOV files were displayed smoothly before updating from Picasa 2 to 3. So I think it's simply a bug of Picasa |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | OzNinja | 1/6/09 12:28 PM | A post from a Google employee in an earlier thread says that bugs can only be reported on this forum. Google does not have a place where it requests reports about bugs with Picasa. Put it in a new thread with something in the subject like - Bug R |

| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | pacorramos | 1/7/09 12:47 AM | Ooops! I'm not absolutely sure, but it seems finally the issue has to do with non-English characters at the folder names. I've just remembered that I had all my video files in several subolders without non-Enlish characters, but all of them were in a |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | OzNinja | 1/7/09 1:02 AM | If there are , move it elsewhere to a different folder without any non-English characters ( and make sure that Picasa scans this folder) . Yes, it does work. |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | pacorramos | 1/7/09 3:17 AM | Thank you, OzNinja. I just forgot to mention that you had already provided the solution. |

| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | petal | 2/22/09 11:00 AM | I had same problem with folder names in czech diacritics. Though all worked AOK in Picasa 2 and when i upgrated Pi 3 i didn't show. I fixed the problem by renaming the folder names with latin characters. |

| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | syfogo | 6/21/09 12:19 PM | I have the same problem: no way to check the "Quicktime Movies (.MOV)" box, it is faded out! And there are only english characters in the path. I am on XP Pro v.2002. |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | CKH | 6/21/09 5:14 PM | This is a guess, but: Recently Video, Rescan, Shut Down and Import Error issues have been caused by video files that Picasa cannot successfully process. But it not a Picasa problem. It is apparently caused by this Picasa version requiring the use |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | syfogo | 6/21/09 5:58 PM | Good guess! It works fine now. Thanks a lot, CKH! |
| Re: Cannot view quicktime movies on Picasa 3 | AliVil | 7/4/09 9:06 PM | I followed Aristotle's suggestion (see 1/1/09) but the box to click on MOV is gray and doesn't let me check it. I still can't view the MOV Videos on Picasa. I bought a new camera and QuickTime is the only program that works with it. It's a Panason |
