Quicktime *.mov video from internet

[Larry Hartman]

OK I had some more time to work on this.  I downloaded all of the packages 
suggested in this post and in earlier posts on the same topic.  I also 
downloaded MPlayer/KMPlayer/Mozilla-MPlayer.  What was posted here has 
allowed me to baseline my installation with what others have installed and 
has worked.

The quicktime movies buffer to about about 15-20 percent, then stall, then 
abort.  Same results regardless of which package I choose to use.  Konqueror 
crashes, Firefox shows Quicktime 7 recognized in its plugins but does nothing 
more than the others.  I am thinking that the issue is some sort of 
configuration that has to do with how streams are downloaded, buffered, 
recognized, and played.

Anymore help on the topic would be appreciated.  I will go back to digging on 
the forums this weekend.
