The only solution I've found for them is to install the Crossover Plugin. It costs about $70 for the CD, but installs a real live Apple quicktime player. I think - and could very well be wrong - that the new format movies have to have a licensed player, which is why finding a Linux player is so hard. The older quicktime animations/movies are not so encumbered (only the encoder was licensed, the player was free.)
