I am using Quicktime 7 Pro on a Mac and compressing a short test movie .avi file into a H.264 Mp4 video. When I try to play this file on a pc with a current Quicktime player I get this error message :

Couldn't open file "movietest.MP4" because an unknown error occurred. The number of the error is : -8971.

I have googled and googled but can't find an answer to what the error is.

Any help appreciated and I am thanking you in advance.

Replying to my own post......The problem was fixed in my XP pc by re-installing the latest Quicktime. The first install attempt must have glitched.
