Install Flip4Mac
While you are at it, get Perian too

Flip4Mac is what you'll need for this problem, though.

Thanks for the speedy replies, works a treat, are these types of files a security threat, should I be using some kind internet security program?

If you like quicktime i would go for the flip for mac and perian but if you want a different style video player try VLC. This offers some settings that aren't available on quicktime without the "pro" edition
