Version: QuickTime Alternative 1.77
"Excellent freeware alternative to the bloatware that is Quicktime Media Player"

Version: QuickTime Alternative 1.77
"Excellent alternative to the bloated Quicktime"
Pros: Small footprint, but works better than Quicktime. I installed this when my Quicktime somehow became screwed up and I couldn't uninstall it. This has worked great. Works for both independent Quicktime programs and those embedded in Web pages.
Cons: None so far.

Version: QuickTime Alternative 1.77
Pros: Installed it, and so far so good. I would encourage other users to try it, and leave their feedback here.
My system is a Windows XP SP2 clean install (no upgrades). This is important because most programs are tested with clean installs, not upgrades from previous Operating Systems like Windows 98 SE or even Windows 2000. So when people with these upgraded OSs try software, it may blow in their faces and then it gets bad reviews, or endless tech support calls that go nowhere.
Have not tried the Media Player Classic, but this guy works just fine as is.
I have a strong impression that this software will work just as well as the real QuickTime, but without pesky naggings or system tray processes that need not be there at all.
