Sean,

I am able to view some Quicktime videos using the mplayer plugin within
Firefox on FC5 and on a Kubuntu box. It appears that if the site is
using Quicktime 7, I am not able to view the videos, but QT 6 seems to
work.

For Fedora, I used the instructions located at
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#MPlayer
to install Mplayer and the plugins.

HTH,
