Playing .MOV files

Hi,

Is there a free media player that will play .mov files?.
I am using mplayer to download from the BBC Iplayer site but none of the media platers I have installed will play this file type offline (Realplayer, Windows media player, Streaming media player and kinoma free player)

Thnx

Greetings, im fairly certain tcpmp will play .mov files. At least its a selection in the "flie associations" section in the settings. Not sure if you'd need to download seperate codecs for it though. I dont think so, but im not 100% sure.

So far i found CorePlayer you can find it here:
http://coreplayer.com/
Iam running a test with Iplayer using CorePlayer to see if it works for you, you can try as well.

Playing a mov file with TCPMP version 0.72RC1 right now, i didnt install any separate codecs for it i just installed the application directly from the cab with the default settings

Cool. I was pretty sure it would work without seperate codec downloads, but thanks for confirming. I think tcpmp is one of the nicest media players for out ppcs'. Coreplayer is solid also, but tcpmp being free is a great alternative.
