Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-it-be-nice dept.

Sark writes: "The latest version of the controversial MPlayer program for Linux supports Quicktime .mov files with the latest codecs. Apart from the closed source program Crossover, this is the first open source program that seems to work. Check out the Mplayer homepage for more info." According to formats page, Sorenson Quicktime is still not gonna happen any time soon.

    Just use something BETTER like MPEG.

    What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? Next time I see some movie online that I'd like to watch, I'll just play it in my MPEG player regardless of how it was encoded by someone else!
