  What's the state of .MOV support in Linux? I've never come across a
quicktime plugin for the web streaming quicktime videos. Is there a
viewer or converter available for .MOV files?
  I did a web search for the flipHD, and according to amazon, found a
curious thing: the 60 minute version supposedly writes in .AVI, but the
120 minute version writes in .MP4. Which of these formats is better
supported? Also, the 60 minute version has internal batteries, and the
120 minute version uses an external battery pack with AA cells.
