Do you mean a recorded video from a digital camera, or a live stream from a webcam/security cam?

Digital Camera

If your camera saved the movies with a .MOV extension*, most likely they are coded internally using Motion JPEG (an inefficient and mostly obsolete encoding). To play those, now that QuickTime is no longer recommended, try VLC.

* By default, Windows hides numerous file extensions. I recommend setting Windows to show all extensions. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

Live Stream

Can you link to the manufacturer's instructions on how to view the stream? If you can't find it, what model camera is it?

It was a recorded video on a digital camera. The book says it is using QuickTime Motion JPEG. The camera is an Olympus Stylus 710. I will try your link VLC.
