viewing .mov files...
 

I was just wondering if there was any way to view .mov (quicktime) videos that are embedded in a web page. I guess there isn't a version of quicktime for the n800 and it seems the media player doesn't support the .mov format. Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question or if its already been covered. Any advice?

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

I think MPlayer does play quicktime files.
The issue then is to be able to have it launch via the browser.
Waiting for that I suppose you could download the file and then open it in MPlayer.

I am somewhat frustrated. When I go to http://mobile.reuters.com/ they have news videos. I can see these on my SPRINT Treo 755P, but I can not see them on my Nokia N810. I think these are .mov files.

Using the browser in my sprint phone, the video player launches automatically.

The videos play fine in my n810/diablo, thru mediaplayer.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

Plays fine on my N800/diablo with mediaplayer. It says that the video files are type 3gpp not mov.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

Interesting, when I loaded up http://mobile.reuters.com/ and clicked in video and picked one. It opened up mediaplayer but could not load it. I then copied the link into mplayer and it worked. People it worked with, do you have any special media stuff installed ogg support or what not.
I have N800/Diablo

I have an N800 with Diablo. I've installed no extra media playback software. No mplayer, no Canola, no OGG, nothing, and the clips on the Reuters mobile site play fine.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

Makes me wonder if mplayers presence is in some way messing up 3gp playback, but I am not in the know enough to blame anything. It does not work on my 770 (with 2008HE, Canola 2 beta 9, mplayer) either.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

hmmm there's a thread here that has a plugin that's supposed to play mplayer-supported movies directly in the browser... try doing a search for "mplayer plugin"

this might help :)

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

Nothing special installed, pretty standard OS and ancilliary programs. Don't even have Mplayer.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

It is probably too old. And will need newer mplayer rc2 to play mov good anyway. I may get back to port the next version.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

So, to get back on topic, is there a way to play .mov (quicktime) movies on the NIT? A lot of digital cameras generate this type of file and its frustrating not to be able to play them.

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

so how do I play .mov files on my n810?

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

nobody knows?
then does anybody know how to convert .mov files to a compatible filetype on the n810 in linux?

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

Look here...

Re: viewing .mov files...
 

but in the compatibility section, it doesn't say whether it will work in linux or not just mac and windows...
