[PyQt] Newbie question - Quicktime

[Sebastian Elsner]

Hmmmm.... I have tried it on my win box. I only get avis to play (divx, 
wmv, asf, motion jpg...), no mov. Its not a problem of the code, it's 
just the backend. I have heard that the linux backend works best, 
because its based on gstreamer, so it can essentially play everything.
Have you had a look at the capabilities example. Also please have a look 
a the phonon docs, they list all the backends and options.
