Quicktime In Linux

brianmed writes "Yes, it works. Codeweavers has just announced their crossover plug-in. It enables users to access popular Windows files and plug-ins in Linux. Right now it is geared towards Quicktime, Shockwave, and Word viewers. Quicktime trailers play just fine. I also have pine setup to launch the the MS Word viewer on command. It is a happy day." Alright, time to start testing. I've also been talking with Jeremy White of Codeweavers: he's got a request for help, as well as an interesting piece on business models -- the Crossover is not entirely GPL. See the above for more information.

This isn't the first...

...unless they specifically mean they can play the Sorenson codec. There are Free programs out there already that can play AVI, ASF, etc files; some I know about are:

• avifile
• MPlayer
• XAnim

Note that the avifile project has links to many other players...

XAnim is (AFAIK) the oldest player. It supports some AVIs but (IIRC) not ASFs...

Most of the ASF et. al. support comes from using the Windows binary codecs...
