Quicktime movies can be played with the Quicktime software (from Apple.com) on a PC running Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X. On a computer using the GNU/Linux operating system a player called MPlayer can show the movies. There are probably other programs that can do this as well.

Windows Media files are also playable on computers using Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X. I am not so sure about what to do with them in the GNU/Linux environment.
