You will need to use QuickTime to open these. Practically every computer has it. If not it is a free download from Apple.
I cannot install anything here at university to Windows XP, and there is no Linux version at all. Who ever created the mov, please create mpeg version too. It could be that Mac always makes mov files but then select "mpeg" codec, not proprietary apple codecs. The situation with avi and mov files are bad, because apple and ms seems to prefer their own prorietary codecs. It is common to get error messages such as no file C:\windows\system\thisandthat.dll in Linux. The sad thing is that there is no such windows directory in Linux and Linux cannot handle dll files. The avi is thightly tied to MS Windows system and cannot be played elsewhere. I'm sure mov files have similar problems. So, convert to mpeg which can be played everywhere and works in year 2020 because the codec is available as source code. (Unlike those proprietary codecs.) Can anyone record the audio of the video to mp3 file? And optionally take screenshots 30 times per second and convert the shots to jpeg format? Can it be done in Mac? In MS Windows? How about a few example screenshots then? Audio would be nice in any case! Saves trouble if somebody who already has all the equipment could make the mp3 file. Regards, Juhana
