I need command line for quicktime to run different tests for my streaming server. Is there any quicktime version available for linux? I am using fedora11- 64 bit.

I don't think there's an official Apple QuickTime for Linux. If you need a good console-based player, I recommend MPlayer. Most builds of it that I've encountered support all the same formats as QuickTime and more.

MPlayer ftw!

If it's for streaming, I would recommend VLC, it's more capable than MPlayer when it come to reading or propagating a media stream. But MPlayer has a better built-in encoder and is more command line friendly. But VLC have a command line GUI (ncurse) that need to be enabled in the VLC config to be visible.
