re: .mov requirement
Authored by: c15zyx on Apr 25, '02 07:30:21PM

The .mov is only required for ITUNES to recognize .ogg files. QuickTime player and others based on quicktime are able to recognize .ogg files (you can double click on an .ogg file and it will open properly in qtplayer), it's part of the known file types (too bad there's no icon though). However, iTunes doesn't query the qt database properly, from what I've heard. That's why you must add a familiar .mov extension to put the file in the playlist, then when you hit play the QuickTime ogg decoder kicks in and the ogg plays.
