I have not found Apple to be very responsive.

However, there is one last thing you can try.  I'm more of a Linux guy than a Mac or Windoze person, and there is a player originally written for Linux but ported to the Mac called "mplayer."   It's primarily a command-line player (though it has a gui if you want to use it).  The nice thing about it is that it comes with a zillion codecs (that you have to download separately), and I have yet to find an unenrypted movie that it can't handle.  It comes with a function for translating between formats and codecs, and is generally the workhorse for this kind of in the Linux world.

Take a look at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
