People need to seriously stop making videos using the QuickTime standard if Apple is going to force you to download iTunes with QuickTime...I don't want iTunes iCrap....I just want QuickTime...anyone know where I can get just the QuickTime program and no extra ADWARE basically is what it is.

EDIT: NM I found their stupid little link....*sigh* stupid Apple.

By "stupid little link" are you referring to the large, blue rectangle prominently displayed in the upper third of the screen that says, "Free Down"?

Of course starting at the main page of apple.com it can be tricky to get to the page I previously linked to because you have to click on the rather large tab at the top of the screen that says "Quicktime".

VLC or quicktime alternative both work fine for .mov files. Im not sure if it will do h.264 though.

I assume you're using a Windows-based PC. Yep, has to be Apple's fault. It's not like OS causes any faults in any programs or anything. :p

On my Powerbook, i've NEVER had Quicktime crash. On Windows, I think it's crashed once and that's because the source was screwed up.
PEBKAC/PICNIC

Perhaps you'd like a Jump to Conclusions mat with a side of "preconceived and unfounded notions"?

:roll:

Or you could just uninstall itunes the very second you install it and it will retain quicktime.

Big whoop.

I'm sure SOMEWHERE on the net has an installer for QT by itself.

I have one in my archive files.
