​Investigating now - the source of test material when I wrote the original
QuickTime plugin was the Apple movie trailers site but they all seem to be
in Apple's own m4v​ format which doesn't play in SL on my system with the
latest version of QuickTime for windows installed.

​That was my experience a long time ago when we briefly discussed using
GStreamer everywhere. However, I see now there is a page ​-
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/​ - with binary downloads for
all platforms.
