How to Play QuickTime in a Winamp
By default, the popular Winamp audio/video player does not support Apple QuickTime (MOV) files. If you install the QuickTime codec (compressor/decompressor) on your system, you should be able to get Winamp to accept MOV files. The codec can be downloaded from a few different sources. If that doesn't work, you can install the large Winamp plug-in PowerPlayer II, which adds support not only for QuickTime but many other unsupported video formats as well.

Tell Winamp to recognize the QuickTime file type. Open Winamp, then click "Preferences," "Plug-Ins," "Input" and "Nullsoft Direct Show." Add "MOV" to the list of extensions and close the "Preferences" window. You should now be able to play QuickTime files.
