Alternative to QuickTime player

Posted by Vic Laurie

Unless you like to play files from an iPod on your PC or use iTunes, you probably will not need to have the full-blown QuickTime package from Apple on your computer. For the occasional video on the Web that uses Apple formats, a much smaller (and possibly more secure) application is QT Lite:

QT Lite is a trimmed down version of QuickTime that contains only the essential components needed for playing QuickTime content that is embedded in web pages. Works on windows XP, 2003, Vista, and Windows 7.

Another player that I have mentioned before is QuickTime Alternative, which is QT Lite combined with Media Player Classic. Both packages can be downloaded here.
