QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime (.mov .qt) files. This way there is no need to install the offical QuickTime Player. As a bonus, Internet Explorer will play all QuickTime movies that are embedded in a webpage. You do need a player that is capable of handling QuickTime movies. The included Media Player Classic works very well with QuickTime.

I've been using Media Player Classic for a year, its' a great program. I haven't used Windows Media player for a long time- that's a good thing.

Same here, using MPC for almost everything. And without RealAlternative I would simply choose to ignore any RealMedia contents on the web. I can't understand that so many sites still use the Real junk.

I know, it's been pissing me off for years- I write to sites that use it and ask them sometimes and they tell me it's because people have problems with WMP--

I think, these are people that create web pages for a living and they are dumb enough to use Spyware Real player for EVERYTHING? WTF is their problem? I dunno- I guess it's a mass- stupidity problem I haven't been able to figure out. Very annoying though, and sometimes there are still in-page realplayer files I can't play with MPC for some reason.
