Suggestions on best way to play .mov files on a Fedora Core 9 machine?
Any successes with VLC? Xine? mplayer? Other?

Should work with any of the above, provided you have the
right codecs installed.

With Mandriva, the PLF repositories are needed. I expect
Fedora has similar repositories for packages that may
violate patents.

I wrote a script that will parse the strace output for an
application, and do a lookup to see which packages provide
the files used by that application. When I play a .mov
video using mplayer, it shows files from the appended list
of packages are being used. Again, this is a Mandriva
system, so some package names may not be identical.

You cannot go wrong with MPlayer.
