iTunes Error -2048 -- Quicktime ...

Recently, I used Gazzump to download CNR as an .MP4 (video format) to put on my iPod. I tried to open the file using iTunes, but it acted as though nothing happened. Since iTunes is the default music player on my computer, I tried opening the file directly instead of importing it into iTunes. It then showed an error message, saying "Error -2048: Couldn't open the file Gazzump.com - HQ Weird Al Yankovic - CNR.mp4 because it is not a file Quicktime understands."

I looked around the internet and found that most people suggested downloading codecs in order to get the problem fixed. I'm trying to avoid that, however, because the last time I had to download codecs (which, coincidentally, was to use downloaded videos from Gazzump for Windows Movie Maker), they just slowed down my computer. I have since deleted these codecs.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I guess brackets and underscores are markup for this "forum." Well, there are supposed to be underscores surrounding "Weird Al" and brackets surrounding HQ, though I'm sure it doesn't matter.
