My digital camera creates pretty cool movies but they are saved in mov. Any idea which CODEC that camera uses? .mov specifies that the file is Quicktime format, but Quicktime is actually just a wrapper, and any one of a number of CODECs could have been used to encode the content. The most popular Quicktime CODEC on the net (Sorenson) is closed-source and proprietary, and to date, Sorenson does not offer CODEC support for linux. If your camera uses a codec other than Sorenson, you might have some hope for now... There is a Quicktime4Linux project at http://heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3 which explains in more detail the issues involved. There is also a less-mature but more promising project at http://openquicktime.sourceforge.net/. -.bill.layer.- -.those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking.- -.frogtown.- -.minnesota.- -.u.s.a.-
