You need to install the codecs that will enable Quicktime to view the type of videos you are trying to watch. Without knowing what type of videos you are trying to play, I can't say which codecs you need.

First thing to try is Perian. This will install support for almost all of the most common video types out there. Likely, this is all you need.
