Alternative to Adobe Media Encoder for legacy Qt video files

Question

There are some quickltime files that wont load in AE, Premiere. or AME. I think it is because these QT files are using Legacy codes or something like 24-bit. So how does one go about converting these files? These old codecs are UNAVOIDABLE, since a lot of companies have been using these for years. For example, one of our clients is furniture retailer and the brand product videos they get from manufacturers go back 5-7 years so they are in these formats, and are unusable. We need a away to convert them but there are no Adobe products that can open them. So what should we use?

They are using Quicktime H.264 codecs according the QT's inspector. Just checked in MediaInfo it says MPEG-4 Quitcktime. Thanks we will try the Mpeg Stream Clip

What codecs are being used? You can open them in something like MediaInfo to find out.

Mpeg Streamclip is a popular one that can open and transcode a lot of files.
