Windows 10: .MOV files on Photos App

Hi,


I have been having problems playing MOV files on the photos app. I downloaded some codecs from the microsoft store at a cost of 79 pence. This has partially fixed the problem as Photos app will now play the files.


However, when I try to incorporate these MOV files into a video on the Photos app video editor, they files play but are very jumpy and don't play smoothly.


Can you offer any advice on how to fix this? I have tried re-installing Photos App and using a code found on this site in Windows Powershell Admin, but neither worked.


Thanks

:)

 

Problem playing .MOV files on Windows Photos App

If the suggested steps didn't help, you can run the following in a Command Window to re-register the Store app: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml.

You may also use other media or video player. This is to check if the .MOV file that you're trying to play on Windows Photo can be played.

Regards.

.MOV file will not play

You have 2 options:

1. Download and install Quicktime Player to play .mov: QuickTime 7.7.9 for Windows OR
2. Download and install Handbrake: HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder and convert .mov file to another format such as .avi or .mp4 then you can play with VLC or with Movies & TV App that came installed with Windows.
