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.
