Hello,

what do I do to make Quicktime Player play the movies I open in my webbrowser - eg. www.domain.com/movie.mpg? I use Tiger, QT Pro and Safari.

If it's a direct link to the media file, option-click it to make it download. Then you can open it in whatever player you prefer.

Thanks, but are there no way to make it automatic? So the movie just opens in QT withput downloading if first?

It is possible on Windows machines, where the movie opens in Windows Media Player.
