MOV playback in WMP

[T5R]

Is there a plugin to play mov files in Windows Media Player?

thx

[Batman]

No.

[movmasty]

could be if you have quicktime installed,this is true also for real media,
since it should only send to wmp a frame decoded by quick time,
but i dont know about it,
post here please if you find it.

"could be if you have quicktime installed" "but i dont know about it"

Absolutely not...

"a plugin to play mov files in Windows Media Player " could be when you have quicktime installed....

but i dont know if and where it exist

[setarip]

Still "No"...

Why are you (essentially) repeating yourself?

[movmasty]

sorry, i believed that you didnt understand me,

but as tinra is able to convert a rm in avi by using realplayer,
a plugin could also let wmp to play it,
same thing with quicktime

I understood you and to the original question asked:

"Is there a plugin to play mov files in Windows Media Player?"

The answer is still:

"No"...

[movmasty]

This thread shows up in Google for "mov playback" - so I'll just comment here that there are at least two solutions available currently:

* Quicktime Alternative or QT Lite (http://www.codecguide.com/about_qt.htm)

* MediaLooks QuickTime Plugin (http://www.medialooks.com/products/plugins/quicktime_plugin.html)

mov can be playback with quicktime. I don't know how to playback in wmp. But you can give K-lite codec to have a try. good luck to you!
