im stuck!! please help! "Do not have software to support the video!"

[natalie9281]

ive downloaded lots of video files but when i try to play it says that i do not have software to support the video (mov files?) how do i get the soft ware & its it free anywhere?

Get VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) as it's a reliable player. Yes it's free.

However, I'd be wary of video files with a .mov extension as most of those less than 20 MB are porn. See Movie download issues for tips on downlding videos.

Hello, Natalie

Files with the extension of .mov are Quicktime Movies and you'll need Apple Quicktime for that: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Be careful, though. Scan the files first because QT has some serious security holes. Unfortunately not everyone who shares files with Limewire is nice.

Hope this helps.
