To all those having problems with QTA 2.X., here's the solution: update your graphics drivers - if possible, to the latest versions. I have just done so. And now I can download & watch any qt based clip, without the phenomenon of "browser blocking". (For example, if you have installed NVIDIA Forceware 94.24 WHQL drivers, as I did, please update them to NVIDIA Forceware 185.85 WHQL version. This can also solve some Media Player blockages!)

Can't use iTunes 8 with 2.7.0 installed, iTunes reports a missing quicktime component. iTunes 7 worked with 2.6 installed just fine.

QT Alternative plays fine on my Vista Home Premium desktop most of the time with m4v files.
However, on my Vista Home Premium laptop I keep getting errors and the player closes. I have reinstalled and redownloaded several times, run it as Admin in XP compatibility mode, changed permissions, etc., etc., etc. Nothing has worked to get it to run consistently.
Sometimes it runs OK and other the error comes the minute I open a m4v file and that is the type of file I usually run.

Suddenly started crashing when I opened .mov files. I installed the latest version, 1.90, still wasn't working. I enabled safe mode in the config panel, and now works!

Pls, can anyone help me? Why there is no sound when i play 3GP video clips?
Before 1.81 i used 1.43 version and it was perfect.
I don't want to go back to the old version 'cause 1.81 has support for HD movie.
Somebody?

Hi guys, for those who have a persistent problem crashing FF when watching an embedded QT movie: to me has helped disabling DirectDraw acceleration in QT settings. It seems that it's caused by latest Nvidia drivers (162.18) (of course if you have the Nvidia videocard:).

I like QuickTime Alternative just fine. It is wonderful for us that use older computers with older versions of Windows (mine being Windows 2000 Pro). I just have one tiny problem with where it installed Media Player Classic. I thought the installer was going to install it in the directory that I installed QuickTime Alternative (D drive), but it landed up on C drive. I partition my hard drive for general technical interests. I just wanted to request that future versions of QTA install everything in the same place in which I wanted it to be installed. Thank you for your time.

This particular version is giving me some problems w/ IE7 running on Vista x64 Ultimate. Nothing that would make me install the ultra choppy full version that is said to resolve my issue, but still I would like to see an updated version w/ the latest codec.
The issue I am having is blank menus on all my videos, the playback is still fine, and the menus are still there (if I click on the blank spaces I can get pause/stop/and even the seek to work, but instead of the gray colored buttons I get a black line (took a shot of the problem: http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/7981/captureae8.jpg).
Anyway, I like very much this alternative since the QuickTime Player is the crapiest thing I have ever seen (at least the windows version).

IS it possible to have both QT alt and CoreAVC installed at the same time?
It seems i have there 2 choices:
1. QT Alt installed: Rubbish playback of local files, but i can watch embeddded files without a problem, or...
2. I Get rid of QT ALT, and have only CoreAVC installed. That way i can enjoy 1080P Without dropping frames. Is there a way to "prefer" CoreAVC to Apples crudd implementation of h264?

it seems ok to me, i use XP codec pack and real alternative too, and Power DVD and there's not many video formats it does'nt play, the odd WMV is screwed, but who cares ? - i have tested several types of scan, and find NO adware or malware, yet,Bloody Apple, who wants a messaging centre included in what should be a simple codec and player ?
yes, i know there's a standalone, but MPC sems much 'lighter' and does'nt seem to bugger up the windows OS in quite the same way that RealPlayerGold10 etc seem to. and as for secretly setting auto-starts on windows boots // god, dont get me started.. XP is pretty ok untill u install all this BLOATWARE.

Hi again. First of all thank you for fixing the Opera/Firefox issue, it's working perfect on this new version.
I don't use IE but I can reproduce the problem described at the Apple site (I didn't tested with other websites). In example, go to http://www.apple .com/trailers/sony_pictures/monster_house/medium.html and you will get something like this: http://img208.imageshack .us/my.php?image=quicktimeiedt7.png

Nice software but...
Are we really forced to use media player? Is there a way to still use QT viewer for mp4 formats?
Thanks
