Hi Folks,
Please suggest some player that can play quicktime content

Hello,

Either xine or mplayer will do the trick, but you'll need to install the win32 codecs as well (which will also cover wma / wmv formats, and a host of others). i'd try mplayer first, it can be slightly easier to get going with the codecs - but i prefer xine myself - dvd playback seems rather better than mplayer..

Please tell me if you are able to access embedded content. For example this website

Hello,

Yes, I was able to view the content using the mplayer mozilla plugin.. the video did take quite a while to load though!
