Quicktime
Alternative - Get rid of the bloated Apple QuickTime
application Some applications really get on my bad
side. Apple's QuickTime does this in several ways. First of all it wants
to grab all the file associations for audio and video that it possibly
can. Secondly it always wants to connect to the internet. It wants updates
or it wants to show you a website or it wants to get more information
about media. It wants to drive me nuts. Last of all it tries to put itself
in the autorun so it will launch faster. It doesn't take no for an answer.
If you try to remove it's entry in the registry, it puts another right
back in next time it runs. Shame on you Apple!
I found a way to avoid Apple's
headacheware by using QuickTime Alternative. I've gotten no complaints
from my OS yet. In fact, I think it breathed a sigh of
relief.

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.
