Subject:    -1- Is there a QuickTime movieplayer available for SGI?

  SGI provides QuickTime movie support as part of Movieplayer in IRIX
  5.1 and later.  If you can't or don't wish to upgrade, you may wish
  to investigate a public domain program called Xanim which offers
  Quicktime capability.

  Version 2.68.3 of XAnim is available from the following location:

  ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib/applications/xanim2683.README
  ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib/applications/xanim2683.tar.Z

  Version 2.68.3 does not support audio, but apparently this feature
  is in the works.

  If you are running IRIX 4.0.5 (any variant) or earlier, please
  consider upgrading to IRIX 5.3.  It contains a more full-featured
  set of movie tools bundled with the system.

  Even better would be to upgrade to IRIX 5.3 and purchase SGI's new
  WebFORCE software product.  WebFORCE provides additional
  enhancements to the digital media tools, such as MPEG-1 and
  QuickTime Cinepak support.  See elsewhere in this FAQ for
  information on ordering WebFORCE.
