Curiousity: Windows Media vs. Quicktime

jaguar · 03-13-2004, 03:14 AM

I use a mac to quicktime is kind of standard. Never remember it really shitting me off under windows. The whole AVI thing does get, me, is it Xvid, DivX, AVI..... Getting a bit stupid really. There is a great player for mac (maybe PC too, can't remember) called VLC that plays pretty much anything (including most of the WMP/A abortions) and is some kind of OSS project, become utterly essential for me.

You know QT (and correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't contain any spyware etc. Why not just install it, change the other prefs back and leave it installed? Wouldn't that just solve the problem?
