*.mov video files

[mdberger]

On my Galaxy S5 was sent a .mov video file and I found that I could not read it. So I googed for an app, and found a web site that offered 50 apps for that purpose. Which one should I use?
I might also like to create .mov files.

Thanks for your help,
Mike.

Don't know about creation, but the 'de facto' app for multifile playback is usually VLC, but it's on beta, so a lot prefer MX Player. Here are the links to both.

Thanks, I downloaded VLC, and now I can view the video. But the .mov file does not
appear in my Gallery. Is there a way I can make that happen?

Unfortunately, nope, because it's not a system-supported file type. It might appear if you use a 3rd party Gallery app that specifically lets you add different file types, but I'm not sure if such a thing exists (I've never used Gallery apps).

Perhaps I am dreaming, but I imagined that there would be a Gallery folder that I could copy something into.

Nope, the Gallery app automatically populates with folders that contain media files in them. If you create a folder and place a bunch of pictures in there, it should automatically appear in the Gallery.
