    Just some food for thought: Quicktime (as well as Quicktime Alternative) has a severe, unpatched (for Windows users, unless you jump through a lot of hoops) security flaw which apparently is being actively exploited.
    Although it actually is patched, apparently Apple has intentially made it difficult for Windows users of Quicktime to obtain the patched version, while making the fixed version freely available for the Mac. In other words, Apple is intentionially exposing Windows users to security threats in order to screw their competition. Think about this crap next time you download from iTunes or buy an Apple product.

    K-Lite Codec pack has a Quicktime codec and you can use Windows Media Player Classic.
