Play Quicktime Files without installing Quicktime

I’ve had enough of installing crappy apple software on my machine. I just took the plunge by installing Windows Vista 64bit edition. On a sidenote, I got a legit copy through my Microsoft Actionpack subscription.

Windows Media player is way better then Quicktime for several reason:

  1. Not nearly as bloated.
  2. Loads faster
  3. Plays video full Screen for free. If you want to play quicktime files fullscreen you have to buy Quicktime Pro.

 In my searching I found a plugin called Quicktime Alternative plugin.  I can install this on any system. I have tried it on Windows XP, Vista 32bit & now Vista 64Bit. Once you install this codec into your system pretty much any program that understands video can now play quicktime files. :)
