    Hi.
    New here, and hoping there are people here who can decifer file formats. Hope this is the right place.
    I've tried QuickTime, MPC and VLC but I still can't seem to play this MOV file.

    Can anyone help me find the right program/plugin/codec to play, or even convert?

    Did you un-zip it first?

    The file in the archive is not a MOV file. It's not any type of video file. It may be another type of archive file.

    its not even a video file......conversion is only possible if its a proprietary video regardless of codec used!

    I opened it with a hex editor. It has no header.

    It originates from a game called Timelapse. Was hoping I could just enjoy the movies and/or graphics without having to go through the puzzles again.

    I took a look in a hex editor myself after lowell mentioned it. There is some form of header... LPPALPPA. But I guess since this is a mixed container it won't tell anyone much.

    It's some proprietary wrapper around the video. Game developers do this all the time to keep you from ripping their videos.
