Hello,

I just downloaded fiji after spending a few hours trying to get image J and associated plugins to import .mov files. I saw previously (2012) that it was recommended to move the qtjava.zip file again, but I cannot seem to find the LOCI file in the plugins.  I'm also not sure if it has to do with getting a 32 bit version of quicktime (seems to be the only version available) or java (came with fiji) or if the encoding on my video is just completely not supported.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hello,

>Please invoke the 32-bit JVM (-d32) to utilize QTJava functionality.

If you click on the status bar (pictured here[1]) does your Fiji report a 64-bit version of Java? If so, you can get a 32-bit version of java (the x86 downloads[2]) and use that to launch Fiji[3]. Hopefully that will solve your issues.

If not, you can also try changing the QuickTime settings for Bio-Formats itself[4]. However, I suspect both the QuickTime readers are already being checked here, based on your error output.

If you're still having problems, the Bio-Formats team maintains their own bug reporting system[5]. They usually can take a look at your dataset and determine what's wrong.

Thank you very much for your detailed response! I was unable to get my installed copy of Fiji to run (deleting the 64 bit java included with fiji stopped it from working completely and swapping out the jre folders didn't seem to have an affect), but between reinstalling a Image J, installing the 32 bit java, moving around the QTjava.zip folder, and copying over the plugins (+ the quicktime plugin for Image J), I have a working system.  

Thank you again for the information and the links.
