how to play a .mov from online source ???

[mihalisla]

Hello ,I 'm trying to play this file :
http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony/...tlr2_h640w.mov
with vlc.
Can this be done?
Is there any other way to playing it through a media player? (I don't want to use a browser)

ps.Please list the necessary codecs so as to see if i'm missing sth.

Thanks

In my signature is a link to the Top 20 FAQs. You need #9. Follow the link and follow instructions to set up all multimedia packages, and you should be in good shape for movies.
