QuickTime Alternative 3.2.2

I am on Windows XP SP3 and since I installed Quicktime Alternative several programs have been aborting with a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library message: ΓÇ£Runtime Error! R6002 ΓÇôfloating point support not loadedΓÇ¥.

I have tried uninstalling your product and taken various other steps including a system restore but the problem doesnΓÇÖt go away.

Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks.

hi,

today i installed QT Alternative because QT had stopped working (once again!) due to y deleting of other Apple stuff i thought did not need.

so now thanks to QT Alternative, i can open .mid files, but.... they are silent ? o_0 what did i do wrong ?

thank you for any insight :-)

cheers,
dpg

ps: i tried to ask this on the forum but could not register for some reason (never received the confirmation email)

i had problems with QT not initializing (error 2093) and odd behaviour in settings panes as alredy mentioned in this thread. after much searching and countless cleanings and reinstalls i found nothing, but somehow the old brain kicked in:

went to add remove programs saw an old microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable(which is a prerequisite for QT) uninstalled that installed QTalternative(comes with visual c++ 2005 redistributable) everything was fixed: opera, firefox, zoomplayer, mediaplayer(classic). even the original player from apple worked again(don't install alternative and original at once!).

hope this helps

"QuickTime Alternative does not include any DirectShow filters. You can't use it directly together with DirectShow players."

Yep. Quicktime Alternative 1.81 was the last version to support DirectShow. I think 1.81 was the last version before Apple complained. What I do is install 1.81, then install the latest (2.70 at time of writing) without uninstalling 1.81.

Free-Codecs needs to update the description.

Apple movie trailer downloads still broken with the new release.

Good, theres a problem with HD content downloading from apple.com with firefox 3..

Can someone tell me why CoreAVC & CoreAAC directshow filters have been removed since v.1.81?
With the latest versions (2.2.0, 2.3.0) I'm not able to play HD movs, while with 1.81 all works fine cause CoreAVC & CoreAAC DS Filters are still there.


Administrator's Note: Why don't you buy the software from coreavc .com?

Crashes all the time in Firefox 2.0.0.3. I have noticed a major slow down after installing the latest version. Firefox has strange behavior: when I open a link in a tab, it takes 100% of CPU. I didn't have this issue before installing QT Lite v 1.81.

Crashing every time I try and play a quicktime file in media player classic:

Faulting application mplayerc.exe, version 6.4.9.0, time stamp 0x45f5798c, faulting module QuickTimeH264.qtx, version 7.1.6.200, time stamp 0x463156ce, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0005fa74, process id 0x704, application start time 0x01c7919ce1685451.

The latest version 1.78 failed to play .mov file downloaded from the camera; the playback started, but in ~1 second the picture stalled, though the slider was moving ahead. I then uninstalled 1.78, installed 1.56, and then it played ok in media player.

Didn't want to submit a rating since I haven't used it... why should I? I mean, why don't you guys just download the stand alone installer?

No iTunes there...

Seems fine except for the fact that I can't get it to work on Firefox. I've tried 1.5.0.4 to the just released 1.5.0.6. I've tried everything on the guide...

I just want to report that version 1.71 simply don't work with Opera 9. I was trying to play some trailers at Apple and Opera always freezes/crashes when the plugin is loading.

I've reinstalled version 1.70 and all is working again.

Why does it ALWAYS delete all previous Media Player Classic settings from the registry and revert to the stupid legacy (non-noadmin-compatible!) INI file when I install a new version?? This is really not understandable for me.

The Directshow Filter works well, EXCEPT that it seems to hold the wrong kind of file lock. When playing a .mov in Media Player, I can't then open the file for read access [eg C# - FileStream fsIn = File.Open(sourceURL, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) throws an exception].
Any chance you could fix this, please, or provide the source so I can fix it? Cheers.
