Such video does way better in image quality than some other video formats do, which is one of the most essential reason why it’s so popular among users. However, we are not saying that there is all about good stuff about MOV. Actually errors like can’t open/play/import may occur on a more frequent basis than we can imagine.

The reason behind MOV can’t open/play/import error
In daily life if you have high demand of processing MOV video, you may run into one word: incompatibility. Yes, MOV is not support by all types of devices because of its poor compatibility issue.

When it comes to Windows, such situation seems more common for users even under the circumstance that some MOV videos can be supported by Windows system. In these years, more advanced codecs have been gradually added to MOV, resulting in Windows’ being unable to handle each one of them.

In the same way, your video editor may not support such file type, because MOV can be encoded with different codecs. In addition, if you fail to import it, you’d better to check if the file size is too small (only with few kb) or corrupted
