This probably does affect the Linux version of the vlc project viewer too?

I also wonder why MOV would be a Whirly codec (=bad) while something like MP4 is a Nicky codec (=good and allowed to play). There are IMO all falling into the same category if proprietary codec which for US based companies result in patent and license regulations.

Refined description to identify that some .mov play and others do not.
