How to Embed MOVs in a Playlist

VLC Media Player is a free program that can play QuickTime movies.

QuickTime movies, known as MOV files, are digital video files used to play movies and video clips. Though MOV files are designed for the QuickTime player, other free software is available to handle your library of MOV files. These files can be organized in a playlist, similar to how an iPod organizes music files. The playlist can be saved and accessed later when needed.

Instructions

1. Download and install VLC Media Player from its website (see Resources).

2. Open VLC Media Player, and click the "Show Playlist" icon to make the Playlist window appear. You can find this icon two items to the left of the volume slider.

3. Find your MOV files on your computer, and click and drag them to the Playlist window. You can sort the files here or enable random shuffling and repeat modes with the icons at the bottom of the Playlist window.

4. Click the "Media" menu in the main VLC window, and choose "Save Playlist to File." Save the file in a folder where you can access it easily later, using a name you will remember.

5. Double-click the new file you have created to open it in VLC anytime.
