Fiji+Bio-Formats: how to open a MOV file?

Hello, I need to open a MOV file in Fiji.
- When I try "Open" from main menu, it takes me to Bio-Formats importer. When selecting OK using the default options, I get the "File is not in a supported format, a reader plugin is not available, or it was not found" message.

- When I try Import -> BioFormat I get (using exactly the same import options as above) the "Sorry, there was a problem during import" message and the text at the end of this email is logged.

Aside from this apparent inconsistency in Bio-Formats behavior, the 2nd case seems to be a Java-related error (see transcript below): Apparently I need to use Java32 with Fiji instead of the one apparently installed in my system (*), is that correct?

* Linux Mint on a 64bit processor
What would you suggest in this case? Maybe I can download Java32 and start Fiji using a different Java installation? How?Or, alternatively, could you guide me to open it using Bio-Formats Import Options using my current setup?
Thanks!!Rodrigo
