I prefer Quicktime Alternative (<a class="user" href="http://www.codecguide.com/about_qt.htm).">http://www.codecguide.com/about_qt.htm).</a>

@StarManta:Yes, they do. Just like installing DivX on Windows installs a DirectShow filter for watching DivX movies in Windows Media Player and any other DirectShow app, installing DivX on OS X installs a Quicktime codec for watching DivX movies in Quicktime player and any other Quicktime app, including Front Row. In fact, there are already other bundle packs you can download that have a bunch of Quicktime codecs. You simply copy them to Quicktime's plug-in folder in your ~/Library folder.After installing DivX and Flip4Mac, I have never come across a video file I couldn't play on the Mac, though I keep VLC around just in case.

If you want to know how to stop quicktime from dropping that annoying blue Q in your taskbar and from stealing your system resources even when its not being used, i have instructions on my site:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/software/No_I_can_t_fix_your_computer_but_here_is_a_website_that_will_help">http://digg.com/software/No_I_can_t_fix_your_computer_but_here_is_a_website_that_will_help</a>

I play .flv files with VLC all the time.
zoltanSep 29, 2006
my question is why add all these features to quicktime to still not be able to fullscreen a video?

Umm, Piracy is how you get it.

"why can't people just use .mp3, sure the quality isn't as good, but it can be played basically anywhere."Because choice is good! Let's bring the total count of incompatible audio/video formats to 50,000! That would be even more choice for us! Let's invent tons of incompatible codec variations so that we can pick and choose to precisely meet our needs!There should be 50,000 video formats and multimedia players should play all of these, as I said already, choice is good! /sarcasm

Dugg for all the extras especially the ability to play .flv via quicktime.FYI, Quicktime Pro is a must for video hobbyist (its not just full screen playback). I just exported a bunch of .flv files to other formats after installing perian with QTPro.Awesome........ Kudos to Perian.

Quicktime sucks...get the free VLC Media Player. It does play anything and has way more functionality than CrapTime.
