QuickTime Alternative 3.2.2

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?

V1.70 is a real improvement over 1.69, the only problem I've got is I can't view movie trailers in H264 Codec format.

Nice work. Doesn't work flawless with some websites in Firefox though. I then get the message that I have to download a missing plugin, and when I click that option, it doesn't know which plugin that is. Didn't have that problem with the same website in IE.

But most of the time it works.

QTA 1.69 + ffdshow works quite well on my system, but some MP4 movies play with "fast forward", it seems the player and decoder don't interpret timings correct. Anyone seen the same issue?

Also, some windows registry settings were not set correctly after install. After clicking on a MP4 file, the system responds with "file not found". By changing the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\mplayerc.exe\shell\open\command
and adding quotes to the parameter %1 it works: "%1" Problem happens, when the filename or path to open contains spaces.

Is there not a fix for the problem of QTA taking over MP3 association? Checking QTA's Settings->file associations, nothing is checked (even for MOV etc).

Is it me or does QTA not give a lot of bass?

Is it really necessary for the this to come cr***ed? When I open the property panel, it is already registered \"Quicktime Pro\"

Ice Age 2 Trailer (ice_age_2-tlrD_h1080p.mov from apple.com) crashes all time :(

v1.68 - Very good app but it does not yet support H.264 as far as I can tell. The only way I can get h264 to work is to install bloatware or FFDshow's codecs but they screw with 3ivx. I try to keep my system as slim and trim as possible.

Hi,

Been using qt alt for a while now, and always found itexcellent.

HoweverI have just got Encyclopedia Britanica and found that it doesn't work with it. I installed Quick time (now they have bundled it with Itunes and it is 32mb!) and it works.
Hope this is fixed so so I can rid my system of the bloat

very good

I've been having trouble with the last couple of QTA versions out there. The latest, v1.66 final, is no exception.

When I try to view movie previews at the Apple Trailers website, I get the following error:

"An error occurred inside a plug-in contained on this page"
"The plugin did not initialize properly."

When I try to view QT files on my PC, MPC just crashes.

If I open QTA settings and select "File Types", QTA crashes and gives me the following error:
"An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime Alternative\QTSystem\quicktime.cpl""

I think all three problems are related and I've used QTA at home with no difficulties, so it's probably something wrong with my system here at work.

Anyone have some advice?

Sincerely,
Albert

Quicktime Alternative is good stuff ~ it runs the vast majority of the .mov files I've come across with only the occasional problem, and none of that annoying "Buy Quicktime Pro: Now|Later" garbage. I agree with the one post that it would be cool to have support for QT, and Real in the same package.
All in all, I'm very happy I heard about this... it's made me not hate Apple so much, after not being reminded what a pain in the butt they are all the time.

hi, can anyone tell me how to off the autoplay of mp3 files?..when i click a link to download a mp3 file(example download.mp3), instead of download it from my browser, it opened quicktime and played the song.how do i prevent this?
