No, you can try Perian, a Quicktime plug in, that pretty much plays all things thrown at it. It's free too.

Don't mean to argue but . . . it does.

Are you getting an error?

Quicktime x says 'cannot open files of this type' and quicktime 7 says 'not a movie file'. The videos work in vlc. I have perian version 1.2.3 installed. Maybe it is some other codecs which enable you to play those file types in quicktime?
