I'm guessing that the resource forks are missing, and will be needed to play (or convert) these movies. Probably the resource forks are on the original disk where these were saved, but the "zip" did not include it. (The resource fork may also be lost when such a movie is copied by a Windows computer.)
"QuickShow" has zero bytes, meaning everything was in the resource fork. Most of the rest have data, but still cannot be played as-is.
Nowadays, the default save format for Quicktime puts everything in the data fork, to make a "cross-platform" movie. But in the past this was not the default behavior.
