Podcasting and .mov files.

As a relative newcomer to the Nokia podcasting application (and to podcasting in general to be honest) I have been most impressed with how the system works. All I need now is a bigger memorycard!
Anyway, as a keen amatuer of photoshopping and graphic design I thought I'd subscribe to some of the photoshop podcasts that the search option finds, in particular Photoshop TV and some others. However, these tend to come down as a .mov file, which I believe to be a proprietary quicktime format. Is there a way I can download and view these files without having to download to pc and then convert then transfer to phone? If I have to do all that, I may as well watch them on the pc; if I can do it on the phone then I'll never have a reason to get out of the bath, apart from charging the phone 😊

Someone would have to write a suitable Quicktime decoder (codec) for your phone first. Without that, you have to live without Quicktime content on the phone, or convert first.
