   no-hassle .MOV player?
  Is there a player out there that handles .MOV movies? I hate realplayer with a passion for all the crap it tries to install on your computer, and if I recall correctly, quicktime was no better.  Is there any alternative?I currently have:Windows Media PlayerATI Multimedia CenterWinAmpDivx Player, none of which want to play my .mov movie. 
  mplayer plays all sorts of formats, and does so without annoying spy/ad/fuckoverthecustomerware. And it works on Windows, too... tho you might have a bit of a problem finding prebuilt win32 binaries. http://www.mplayerhq.hu   "Sneftel is correct, if rather vulgar." --Flarelocke ;  .MOV are Quicktime files if I''m not mistaken, and instead of installing RealPlayer(I''d rather die) or even Quicktime, I simply use QuickTimeAlt which is a hack of the old Media Player Classic.Can be found here.   - It''s a life''s work:Image Hosting @ $5/3 Months :30Gig/month bandwidth Reseller Plan @ $40/3 MonthGeneric WebHost: The Cheapest Hosting Around!-ryan@lecherousjester.com ;  Sneftel,I found an .exe for mplayer, and although it played the movie, there was no sound, and there also were no controls, like pause, fastforward, or anything.I could have looked harder for a better version though.Thanks anyway Run_The_Shadows,Thanks a whack! This is exactly what I needed! Too bad I never heard of this before! ;quote:Original post by AndreTheGiant  Sneftel,I found an .exe for mplayer, and although it played the movie, there was no sound, and there also were no controls, like pause, fastforward, or anything.I could have looked harder for a better version though.Thanks anyway OMG!!!!TEH INSULT!!!TEH UNBARABLE INSULT!!!!HAVE AT YUO!!!!1   "Sneftel is correct, if rather vulgar." --Flarelocke ;  Quicktime isn't that bad.  It just prompts you to buy it every time it starts up and can't go fullscreen.  It also doesn't use hardware acceleration or something like that.   ___________________________________________________________Proceeding on a brutal rampage is the obvious choice.Where to find the intensity  (Updated Jan 23, 2004)   [edited by - amish1234 on February 3, 2004 4:14:58 PM];  So it sucks.;quote:Original post by amish1234   Quicktime isn't that bad.

Including QT, Bink, RP, Flash, and a whole load of others.  It's truly wonderful.   - It's a life's work  :Image Hosting @ $5/3 Months :30Gig/month bandwidth Reseller Plan @ $40/3 MonthGeneric WebHost: The Cheapest Hosting Around!-ryan@lecherousjester.com   [edited by - Run_The_Shadows on February 3, 2004 4:40:19 PM];quote:Original post by Run_The_Shadows  .MOV are Quicktime files if I''m not mistaken, and instead of installing RealPlayer(I''d rather die) or even Quicktime, I simply use QuickTimeAlt which is a hack of the old Media Player Classic.Can be found here. It''s the stock version of Media Player Classic, except it''s packaged with the QuickTime DLLs. If you look at the source for MPC, the hooks for QT and Real are in the base version.RealAlternative (at the same site) works the same way, except with RealPlayer.Also, MPC is not old. It''s actively maintained at http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/. A new version was released last week.Just being pedantic...;quote:OMG!!!!TEH INSULT!!!TEH UNBARABLE INSULT!!!!HAVE AT YUO!!!!1No! It wasnt supposed to sound like an insult. I was just about to thank Run_The_Shadows for his link, and I thought it would be nice of me to thank you as well, even though I couldnt find a good mplayer. Sheesh! So much for trying to be nice!
