I'm trying to download some videos from the older WWDC sessions which Apple published on iTunes. Unfortunately when I click download it just buffers and fails to download or just crashes iTunes. Anyone know what could be going on?

Why don't WWDC 2012 videos work in iTunes?
I'm trying to watch one of WWDC 2012 videos, specifically "Advanced Apperance Customisation on iOS". I clicked "View in iTunes" and the file downloads, but when I try to watch it it shows an error "This file requires Quicktime which is not supported by this version of iTunes". It then deletes the file!
1. Why does the video not play?
2. Why does iTunes delete the file?
I have seen elsewhere on the forum to try enable 32-bit mode which I am trying now. I am using iTunes 11.0.2, Mac OS 10.8.2, on a MacBook Pro retina.
This is especially frustrating since I am in South Africa where internet is expensive. Data costs 25c per megabyte, so the 340 MB file costs ZAR85, not to mention taking nearly an hour to download each time. It is not an insignificant amount of time and money wasted.
How can I reliably download and watch the WWDC videos?

Thanks again etresoft - you have been exceptionally helpful.
It's good to know its a localised problem so I can start narrowing down the causes. I'm pretty sure the only changes I have made have been installing apps, bootcamp and some macports libraries. I'm getting ADSL soon so I'll report if that changed anything. If that doesn't fix it then I'll try re-install the machine.

It is working fine here. Maybe bring it up in Safari, inspect element, and download the video file.
