This installer has a trojan, I am aware of false positives so don't try to brush me aside saying I'm some noob that doesn't know what I'm talking about. This is the only installer that has been flagged by my antivirus (Kaspersky). Use your common sense before downloading this, try from another source...


Admin's Note: We stopped providing direct download links for QuickTime Alternative, few months ago. You didn't download it from codecs.com

On fully updated XP-sp3:
I installed QTA 2.7 and had to de-install due to Explorer.exe crashing more than 10 times per hour. Also, Process-Explorer showed Firefox 3 with over 1000 thread context switches per second (with only a blank page loaded). Threads panel showed QTA to be causing 600 context switches per second.

Obviously, something is not right... I'll try again when a new release comes out. After de-install, my whole system is stable again.

"QuickTime Alternative does not include any DirectShow filters. You can't use it directly together with DirectShow players."

Yep. Quicktime Alternative 1.81 was the last version to support DirectShow. I think 1.81 was the last version before Apple complained. What I do is install 1.81, then install the latest (2.70 at time of writing) without uninstalling 1.81.

Free-Codecs needs to update the description.

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.

QuickTime Alternative does not include any DirectShow filters. You can't use it directly together with DirectShow players. THIS IS CLEARLY MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INSTALLATION!

This main purpose of this package is to play QuickTime stuff in your Internet browser.

If you want to play .mov files with a DirectShow player then use one of the following solutions:
1) Use Media Player Classic, that can directly use QuickTime for playing files.
2) Install MediaLooks QT Source filter. That is a DirectShow filter that can use QuickTime for decoding.
3) Install a codec pack.

It is unable to handle MOV video from digital cameras, Panasonic, Casio )... Directly Windows┬┤ direct show manager will newer choose QTA if Nero MP4 Splitter or Haali Media Splitter are installed. If they are not, than it is not able to handle audio MS ADPCM in these containers. When I try to build direct show graf using QTA in tool Editgraph it is not able to connect any filter on output sound pin of QTA splitter. I think the QTA is absolutely for nothing this time. For example KMPlayer works without any problem or K-Lite codeck pack as well. They handle mov files using KM-Player internal MOV splitter and Apple Video or Audio Handler (in K-Lite codeckpack). QTA disapointed me very much.

Using quicktiem alternative 2.5.1 on MCE 2005 / XP and again like others no sound in MCE or WMP 11. Sound works in Media Player Classic. The files in question are MPEG 4 MOV files from a Kodak camera and the audio portion reports back U-Law codec with ADPCM Codec Family. Any help would be appreciated!

I've been using an older version for quite a long time without any problems. Did a clean-up of my pc (format) and after a few days I installed the latest version of QT alt.
Before the clean-up I could "save as source" without problems. Now there's the "PRO" icon in front of those options and I can't "Save as source" or "Save as QT movie" any more. It requests me to buy the pro version of quicktime.
Uninstalled and reinstalled it, but no success. Can't get back those options.
Anyone who knows how to get those options "Save as source" back? Are these options blocked since the latest version?

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.
