At the time when I saved them, they were playing without any issue. How come they are not opening now? How can I make them playable again? Please guide me”.

QuickTime Player is capable of creating, playing, editing, and sharing many media file formats. Even though it can convert and open certain old file formats that it cannot play directly, some old audio/video files or specific media file formats may need different software/program to play them. And hence QuickTime Player might not be able to read them.

If QuickTime fails to play your old AVI files, then with help of file extension of your old AVI file, find other (third-party) media player, which supports and plays old videos. Also try to play old AVI files on other systems.
