Solved: Can't play .MOVs
Hi,

I've just transffered some images and movies from my digital camera onto my PC but I'm unable to play the movies (.MOV files).
I downloaded Quicktime alternative thinking that this may help but I'm still unable to play them. I have even right-clicked on them and used 'open with' to try and find the Qicktime program to play the movies with but no luck (couldn't see which program in Quicktime folder I should be using).

Could anybody help here?

Regards,

C h r e d g e.

Well after a bit of investigation, those .MOV files are Quicktime files and it should be able to play them (see C:\Program files\Quicktime\QuicktimePlayer.exe). Current version is 7.64.
