 |
|
Is it possible to watch QuckTime movie on Linux? Firefox prints "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." "Install Missing Plugins..." button prints "No suitable plugins were found." The link at the bottom of the website points to this web page http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ There is no link for Linux, only for MacOS X. I need to watch only one QuickTime file, is there at least converter to avi files?

mplayer will play quicktime i believe (although it may require enabling of a specific use flag) also make sure you instlal mplayer-plugin to get the browser plugin for it  |

you can give a try to mplayerplug-in, it's a video plugin for web browser, works well for me...
simply do
| Code: |
emerge mplayerplug-in -pv
|
then check if the USE flag quicktime is activated *
and then simply run
| Code: |
emerge mplayerplug-in
|
and restart your browser
* not sure about this, true for mplayer but I don't have my gentoo now to check...
hope this'll help |

Any xine-lib based player reads quicktime as well.
