install apple quicktime.

if you don't have quicktime installed on your pc, ableton uses windows direct show for decoding the mp3s which sometimes fails.

If you don't have Quicktime installed, what does it use to decode .mov files when scoring to video?

I have the same issue as KayneCross, but not with all .mov files. When I massively shorten a video with QT 7 Pro for Windows, Live loads it. For all full length videos I get the "corrupt or not licensed" error.
