QuickTime Alternative seems to work better on my machine than QuickTime itself, heh, although it might just be psychosomatic.

i hate realplayer, but quicktime doesnt bother me

 

[sniperruff]

i use real and it's not as evil as you think...

however i don't like quicktime at all. it crashes when you try to resize while you're playing something

go on the sourceforge and download the latest media player classic. i believe it comes w/ both real player and quicktime player codecs.

I will not touch Real Player with a 10 foot pole, but I use Quicktime and I never had a problem with it. I like it more than Windows Media player.

i wish WMP just had support for all those formats, it would make life a hell of a lot easier

Real Player = SUCK
Quicktime = OKAY WITH ME!

If you have the codecs installed, VLC works with just about everything.

I use MPC or VLC.

same here

Quicktime runs pretty good on a Mac since Macs are powerful enough but on Winblows, it..well..blows. Realplayer is CRAP.

I agree! I hate them both. Had to install QuickTime last week for the Episode III trailer. It's not so bad now. During install, when selecting file types, it's not default set to play all file types. Leaves MP3s alone. And there's an option now to turn off the tray icon. I think they've gotten better. I hate Real, though, and won't have it on my machine.

As good as they are (and I love them both), they play most local files well, but so not stream very well...

 

[KidViciou$]

i'll cehck out all the alternatives mentioned. glad to know i'm not the only one who feels this way!

 

[Staples]

Real Alternative sucks for streaming media. Stick with the Real one.

Quicktime is ok but I hate the player. I actually use Media Player Clasic for it. Seems to work well but I won't say it is much better than the Apple one.

qtask.exe is so annoying.
