Check the wiki on playing mov files.  Your choices are Quicktime (installed with iTunes) or DirectShow filters.

Streaming from a server may not work though.  It may require conversion and this area isn't complete yet.

You may have to transfer the files first in order to play them.  Try a local file.

ok thanks.. when you say transfer them first, do you mean by a network share?
