Greetings everyone,

I was trying to find a cheap to free media player that will play .MOV
files. I use BetaPlayer for most and then WMP for the rest. I cannot
seem to find anything that will give me .MOV playback, or at least
anything on the cheap side. :) Any thoughts?

Thanks!

At the present time, Apple does not make a ppc player that supports .mov
files. However, one company makes some software that will, Check out this
- http://www.digisoftdirect.com/products/pictpocketcinema.html - it's not
free and it's not that cheap at 40 bucks, but the earlier versions I used
worked well. There's a free trial version though.

Some .mov are MP4, but it's a wrapper. Some movs are not MP4 and
betaplayer won't play them. But yes, if you encode as MP4 in
quicktime, Betaplayer latests releases (past 0.94) can play them

Cheers - Neil
