View Full Version : Wow, QuickTime for PC really blows....

I usually use VLC or W.M.P Classic w/ the Kazaa Codec package.. both
are lightweight and play 99% of the video codecs/containers youll find
on the net.

For fun I thought I'd try QuickTime player, since I was reading about
how it can also convert files between formats/resolutions/etc, which
sounds cool.

But... Am I correct that it cannot play MKV, WMV, XVID, DIVX, FLV,
VC1, etc etc etc....???

WTF? THAT'S PATHETIC!

....and on a sidenote I love how this piece of crap keeps trying to
register itself to automatically load when my computer turns on....
thankfully I have a program that blocks this kind of SLEEZEY
BEHAVIOUR....

So..... Why does it so badly? I give it one star out of ten. Real
Player is better then this... Are there no codec packages for
Quicktime on the PC? Googling I keep coming across "Perian", but it
doesnt come for the PC? Why did they bother to release this piece of
CRAP for PC if it can't play most video files?
