Seems to me I once got a mov file to play in Netscape. It didn't have any playback controls (just a box centered within the working area), but it worked (don't remember if it had sound or not -- was having soundcard troubles at the time). This was using the PeanutLinux distro.

Apple don't make a Quicktime player for GNU/Linux. Most Quicktime files are encoded with the Sorenson codec, which is patented. This means that the free players (e.g. Xmovie, Xanim and aKtion) are not able to play these files properly (sometimes you can get a garbled picture or just sound). You can try running the Windows player through WINE, or you can purchase CodeWeavers' CrossOver Plugin (which is built with WINE) for $US20. I actually bought this product today, but I haven't used it enough to make a proper decision on its quality. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.
