QTA 1.71 doesn't seem to let me view anything on the Apple trailers site, with IE. Just blank rectangles with little red X's in the corner.

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?

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.

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.
