I've been double clicking with the apple key held down for many years in order to accomplish that. I'm sure that's not good enough, but I thought I'd let you know any way.

I'm seeing a lot of reports about some video > files that worked in Mt Lion's Quicklook that don't work anymore. I found this at tidbits.com: http://www.macworld.com/article/2058298/why-mavericks-movies-may-not-pre view-properly.html Why Mavericks' movies may not preview properly Reader Arlen Andrews has a concern about his movie files. He writes: I recently upgraded to Mavericks and now when I attempt to preview a movie file I see only a window telling me that the movie is zero KB in size, which I know isn¹t true. When I double-click on the movie, it opens in QuickTime Player X but then immediately converts. What¹s going on? This appears to be another under-the-hood change designed so that the Mac OS better mimics the iOS. If you have one, find a movie file that ends with .m4v. Dollars-to-doughnuts, if you select that file and press the space bar, Quick Look will behave exactly as it should and show you the movie. Now try it again with one of your .mov files. No dice, right? Right. And that¹s because Mavericks is very particular about the kinds of movie codecs it allows. For example, I created a movie with Telestream¹s Screenflow 4 and exported it using the application¹s Lossless format (which uses the Animation codec by default). When I attempted to preview the resulting movie with Quick Look I saw exactly what you did‹a seemingly empty document. When I double-clicked on it, QuickTime Player X launched, up popped a conversion window, and I had to wait for that conversion to complete before I could view the movie. (And now I had two copies of the movie‹the original Animation-codec version and the converted version that used the Apple ProRes 4444 codec.) However, movies using H.264 encoding previewed perfectly and opened in QuickTime Player without requiring conversion. So, in regard to encoding movies in the future, the trick is using codecs that conform to QuickTime¹s whims. The Animation codec is clearly codeca non grata, but H.264 and MPEG-4 movies (using QuickTime¹s MPEG-4 codec) are aces. Also Apple provides a package of codecs for the professional user as part of the ProApps QuickTime Codecs package. (Your Mac must hold a copy of Final Cut Pro, Motion, or Compressor to install this package.) The package adds support for the Apple Intermediate, Apple ProRes, AVC-Intra, DVCPRO HD, HDV, XDCAM HD / EX /, HD422, MPEG IMX, Uncompressed 4:2:2, and XAVC codecs. I encoded a movie using the Apple ProRes 422 codec and it previewed and played as it should. As for those of you who simply want to play your now ill-favored movies I¹m afraid there¹s currently no Quick Look solution. Until Apple or a third-party creates a Quick Look plug-in that allows these affected files to play you¹re going to have to open and convert them and then preview the converted version. However, if you don¹t care about previewing them but rather want to play them without the conversion step, you have a couple of choices. Zongyao Qu¹s free MPlayerX will play these movies without converting them, plus it supports .avi files, which QuickTime won¹t touch. The venerable (and oh-so-much-more-capable-than-QuickTime-Player-X) $30 QuickTime 7 Pro still works under Mavericks and it too will allow you to open and play these movies without the conversion step.

I noticed that if the .mov icon is a generic .mov icon, quicklook shows that the file is zero bytes, and doesn't play it, even though Quicktime Player can open it. But if the icon contains a frame from the movie, then Quicktime will play it. None of my .mp4 files have a generic icon, so I can't test this behavior for them. Michelle

But I've always thought that was because it wasn't actually a .mov file, just had a .mov suffix. Maybe "MediaInfo Mac" or "Media Inspector" would help in this regard. > None of my .mp4 files have a generic icon, so I can't test this > behavior for them. I've found blank .mp4 files that quicklook plays correctly--they don't have an internal image associated with it to provide anything but a generic icon.
