You need one of two available players.
Either go to www.quicktime.com and put up with Apple's adware ridden junk, or do a web search for "quicktime alternative", as I can't give you a direct link here.

Since when did they start putting adware in quicktime? There's just the "buy the pro version" at startup, but that's been there since I started with some of the earliest versons.

OK, maybe not adware, but "phone home" or other crap.
I have my router set up with SPI, and it totally chokes whenever I try to use Quicktime. Something is definitely not good, and I just haven't bothered to sort it out. I just use an alternative
