Quicktime Under Linux With MPlayer

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.

  1. Why bother with Quicktime? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mpeg is greated than all. Forget Quicktime. It's a lame proprietary and non-friendly format. Hell, i'd rather use AVI over Quicktime. Sorry if this comes off as a troll, but it's true, and im sick of seeing people complain about it. Just use something BETTER like MPEG.

    I don't want to compile the package myself. I want binaries.
    Then why on earth are you running Linux?!
