Your question doesn't make sense.

A codec is a small portion of program code designed to encode or
decode specific video formats. A codec in isolation is no use, it has
to be combined with a player or encoding application.

In addition, a MOV file is a "container" which may contain any one of
a wide range of video formats, so there's simply no answer.

You need to redefine your question and explicitly say what you want to
do, what you've tried already and what the constraints of your goal
are.

Whether it's open source or not doesn't really seem to affect you,
unless you're looking to write your own player for some reason.

Perhaps you're looking for something like Quicktime alternative
instead http://www.videohelp.com/tools/QuickTime_Alternative on
windows, or VideoLAN player, Xine or MPlayer on Unix (see here for VLC
: http://www.videolan.org/)
