Hello Roland. You're right that Tracker can't analyze QuickTime movies on Linux. Instead, you have to convert mov or avi files to animated gif format or to an image stack. Tracker can open and analyze both gifs and image stacks on Linux.

There are complete instructions for converting mov files in Tracker help--please see http://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/help/linux.html

Hope this helps :-)  Doug Brown
