QuickTime Alternative 1.77
on 11 February 2007, reviewed by: Boostland

This 1.77 version still does not play some Quicktime files without sound problems, the last version that works is the 1.67

Test using this and you will see what I mean.

Ooops... I just found the post about deleting the old \\\"quicktime\\\" folder from windows/system32.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! :)

(PS whoever posted it, thanks... even before switching to alternative, that old folder had bugged my system)

"An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime Alternative\QTSystem\quicktime.cpl""

I got this error with 1.76 final. Is it possibly a conflict with Storm Codec Pack?

Quicktime SU*** ROYAL A**.I unfortunately have to deal with it only because I made a mistake on owning a KODAK cam that uses that format for some ridiculous reason.I guess its one of the reasons KODAK is failing.Everyone uses MICROSOFT.Thats the cold hard facts.The .mov format is a pain in I disagree.Quicktime never works properly anyhow without MICROSOFT users having to jump through hoops just to watch a simple video clip.Too many players(spyware) out there nowadays.

Get QuickTime Alternative Lite, it doesn't have Media Player Classic, that's the only change.

Quicktime alternative 1.75 works for me. But I only experience one problem: if I rename the .mov file, I get the message "Can not render file". This also happens when I download a .mov file and save it with a different name. Renaming the files back to the original filename solves the problem and I can play the files again.

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.

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...

***Firefox Temporary Solution***

Search your system for:
npqtplugin.dll
npqtplugin2.dll
npqtplugin3.dll
npqtplugin4.dll
npqtplugin5.dll
npqtplugin6.dll
QuickTimePlugin.class
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
(you may have to let Windows search in archives to find them)

Verify they are all part of the same pack

Copy them across into your Firefox Plugins directory, which by default should probably be "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins"

SORTED! :)

Have no idea why they weren't installing automatically, but it wasn't because any Firefox process was running [I don't even use their quick launch]

For those that have problems getting the FireFox plugin to work- you must close all FireFox windows (including the download window) before you run the installer. If you do not, the plugin will not be installed.

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

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.

Nice software but...

Are we really forced to use media player? Is there a way to still use QT viewer for mp4 formats?

Thanks

Nice tool, but firefox doesn't like the new version 1.71 : fatal error because of quicktimeessential.qtx. Return to 1.70 and no problem with it.

I tried QuickTime Alternative 1.71 final, and decided to use Windows Media Player (not Classic). The MOV files are played, with VIDEO, and NO SOUND/ NO AUDIO.

- Is there a way to trouble shoot this?
- Is this a bug or a feature?
Are we forced to use Media Player Classic?

Unnecessary. 1.70 no longer supports anything older than WinXP, and if you can stomach XP, you don't need QT alternative. It's still a hack, it still doesn't support all QT, and the official QT player is no more annoying than XP in general. As long as you have a third-party player for all your QT formats, the official player will politely go away.

On the other hand, setting RealPlayer, QT, and WIMP to fight over file associations is still more amusing than most movies.

Great tool!

HD content plays great in media player classic.

However in WMP 9, I get HD video but no audio. If I play a standard file I get audio. Weird that one player would play it the other not.

Of course this also means MCE plays video only, no audio (again, only for HD content from Apple site).

Keep up the good work!

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.
