ANSWER:
Having being frustrated and looking everywhere for almost 10 hours straight I had accumulated enough imformation on all 2048 error occurances I could write a book. So since it seems no one has written an affermative answer. I’ll post what worked after my research.

1st: I must thank all internet users out there because It wouldn’t have worked if not for them. They gave me hope!

To start:

Rename all your files that quicktime can’t read, to .wmv all occurances of the -2048 error come from codec misuse by the mis-naming of the 'quicktime' files.

Then download any transcodal translator. I used VLC Player, which can do pretty much anything.
VLC Site: — > http://www.videolan.org/

Once downloaded you’ll find it can play your 'broken files'.
Proceed to click on File — >Streaming/Exporting WIzard...

Go through: 'Transcode/Save to file'

Then: Select either select streaming file from location:
Or:
Select File from existing playlist. (Open(ed) files)

Last: Select how you want it TRUELY encoded as anything from mpeg4 video and audio to DivX to H. 264 to Theora REMEMBER: select the transcode buttons.

(Don’t forget bitrate has an extreme importance the more bits the higher quality but it comes at a price as the video becomes larger. It won’t be 100% quality, maybe 95% max; usually around 85 - 90% normal quality.)

Next: select your encapsulation method you want this to match your codec so please match them, it causes less problems.

Almost Done: Select a save location and wammo your done!

Finally: Click FINISH and it shows you all your work one last time before you complete the transcode.

Ta-Da Quicktime Video Problem Error -2048 SOLVED!

How do you “rename” a file .wmv? Especially one that won’t open? ALSO... I downloaded VLC Player, but Windows doesn’t recognize the 7Z extension.

Thanks. It helped me by getting the MP4 file playable on my PC. But I can’t get the sound to work. Anybody got any ideas please?

BTW the file was created in HTC Touch Diamond phone (Windows Mobile 6.1)
