.mov files are quicktime movies, right?

most movie player can play it. Try Xine. Others are Totem and Mplayer. You do need to have the codecs to play them installed though. If you don't have them installed look for a rpm/whatever package to install called win32-codecs. Depends on what distro your using for the exact package to install.
