Hi Rodrigo,

> I need to open a MOV file in Fiji.

It sounds like your MOV file uses a codec which Bio-Formats does not
support. And you cannot use the QTJ approach (ImageJ's default approach)
because QTJ is not available for Linux.

Try turning on the FFMPEG update site, and opening the movie using File >
Import > Movie (FFMPEG)...

For further details, see:
