$ file conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov
conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov: Apple QuickTime multiple URLs
It's essentially a QuickTime playlist, containing the actual address of the
movie encoded somehow. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to read its content.
If you buy the Mac and the QuickTime player, I guess it would read the address
and play the movie for you. Otherwise, I don't know.
Maybe someone else can help out.
HTH, :-)
