Can't Play Some Stuff...
« on: August 25, 2002, 09:41:01 AM »
What do I need to play video files ending in .mov?  Kazaa's player won't run them (what else is new?), Divx won't, Windows Media Player won't, and neither will RealPlayer.  :(

Yeah, that happens to me a lot too. I don't really know or care how to solve it.

Dammit Chris... just because I took a few days off to help my parents out and go to a job interview.

Oh well... Quick Time is definitely what you need.  It sucks for everything else, but it will play .mov files and .avi files (when it actually feels like working, that is).

They're correct. QuickTime plays ".mov" files, actually not half bad.

I'm now trying to think of others that would work better. Give me a while.
