.MOV Files

bubbles · 2001-02-08 08:57:00

Lo there, I'm running Windows ME at home with MEdia Player 7 and am wondering how come it won't play .mov files? I know media player 6.4 or whatever did, but not 7. How can I make it play them? Cheers.

bubbles - just grab yourself a copy of the QuickTime player from Apple. Many mov files are encoded to specifically need at least version 4 of QuickTime (or the relvant codecs that come with it at least). Version 5 PP2 is available now and worth the download IMHO. Picture quality is excellent, even when resizing a tiny movie to full-screen.
