Alternative to QuickTime player
When I commented on Apple’s making a security update to the QuickTime player hard to get, I neglected to give a link to an alternative player. Jack Teems at Neat Net Tricks has an entry in his latest newsletter that reminds me that you can download a alternate player at free-codecs.com. Here is their description:
QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player. It also supports QuickTime content that is embedded in Webpages.
