They are great and the codec pack enhances the properties. Quicktime is one of the most widely used audio softwares around the world. Its a great market tool and should be advertised on a PR building tool like MyPRGenie (www.myprgenie.com/technology/) to allow even further customers to use it. I’ve been using them for years.

I would still get a prompt saying I needed QT installed. I've gone back to using the full Apple QT. I just stop the tray tool from starting. With hd space so cheap I don't mind the extra space required. This same logic holds true for Adobe Acrobat. I've tried the alternatives but would still run across PDFs that they couldn't load properly, especially forms. I now run the full product with no background tasks running.

You still need to install Real Alternatice and Quicktime Alternative to get the codecs in order to play these files. Been using them for years, highly recommend them vs the full blown installs to keep your system running smoothly!
