Hi Fwieland,
DirectShow (sometimes abbreviated as DS or DShow), codename Quartz, is a multimedia framework and API produced by Microsoft for software developers to perform various operations with media files or streams.
In your case you have to install QuickTime Alternative to run .mov files using windows media player (default windows video engine ) since Pandoras Box software is based on this engine.
The normal Quicktime (apple's engine) is another player with his own engine and codecs and doesn't allow Windows Media Player to run .mov files.
At the end you have to install QuickTime Alternative (in our case version 1.6.2) in each servers and manager because if you don't have it on Manager PC probably you will find .mov files INCONSISTENT in the project and you won't see preview clips in the manager!!
I hope this helps..
