Why under configuration Quicktime pro is asking me for 4 My registration information?
I thought by downloading the alternative I wouldn't have to register (QT Pro). Quick time was not installed on this computer before. I installed your Quicktime Alternative so I could play .mov files from some edu classes. I'm using Win 7 Ultimate OS, for some reason MCE will play them but The 64bit MediaPlayer does not recognize didn't recognize format. What is the Registration code for Quick time pro/alterntive
I would appreciate your help.

To all those having problems with QTA 2.X., here's the solution: update your graphics drivers - if possible, to the latest versions. I have just done so. And now I can download & watch any qt based clip, without the phenomenon of "browser blocking". (For example, if you have installed NVIDIA Forceware 94.24 WHQL drivers, as I did, please update them to NVIDIA Forceware 185.85 WHQL version. This can also solve some Media Player blockages!)

Unfortunately, this version of QTA is not working as fine as the previous ones. I think that the developers were in a big rush, if they delivered it without testing it enough. Yes, the enclosed download tool is still usable: you can use it to download, and then, to watch HD clips, either in your default browser, either with your favourite Media player. But I encountered unexplainable problems, with QTA, when I visited the website belonging to Apple Computer. Here's the URL: http://www.apple.com/trailers/. When I tried to watch some trailers, my browser has BLOCKED itself. In fact, with all the usual browsers I have had the same problem. Finally, QTA allowed me to see some clips. But not all of them. I do not know the "internal criterion" after which QTA guides itself, in rejecting/accepting to render certain movies. All the QTA settings were those provided by the default install. I do not know why this version has such a behavior. Maybe the guilt (the bugs) belongs to Apple.

Wow Sean, nice of you to skew the rating with a '1' because you somehow can't find the overly-large text that says "Download QuickTime Alternative" at the top of the page. Maybe the internet just isn't for you (or tying your shoes for that matter)?.
Royce: Thanks for the confirm that DL'ing is working again, it's been a long while since that feature has functioned correctly for me (been using VLC to stream/save the HD's).
Flawless and generous program, another reason why community is ALWAYS better than corporation.

Nice waste of time. IF the program exists, and IF there is a place to download it on the page, it is cleverly hidden, so unless it is available for download it's not of much use.

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.

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.

QuickTime Alternative is not meant to be used together with QuickTime. Hence the name. Duh.
Uninstall both and you should be able to install QuickTime properly again.

QuickTime Alternative ruined QuickTime forever on my computer. I thought it would be a good alternative at first, but now I can't run QuickTime because it always gets reinstalled in the QuickTime Alternative folder, and everytime I open a QuickTime video on Firefox, it advises me to restart Firefox and normally goes wrong! DAMN YOU, QUICKTIME ALTERNATIVE!!!

@everyone
The purpose of QuickTime Alternative is to play QT files in your BROWSER.
If you want to play QT files in a DirectShow PLAYER you should install the K-Lite Codec Pack (Standard version is enough).

Can someone tell me why CoreAVC & CoreAAC directshow filters have been removed since v.1.81?
With the latest versions (2.2.0, 2.3.0) I'm not able to play HD movs, while with 1.81 all works fine cause CoreAVC & CoreAAC DS Filters are still there.
Administrator's Note: Why don't you buy the software from coreavc .com?

This project seems to be dead... For everyone having the problems I suggest just download the official QT package from Apple's site (this is what I did after using QT Alternative for 2 years) and use it for now - it's not really as bad as most people say about it and every QT movie on just about every webpage actually plays perfectly.

First time using it. I am running Vista Home Premium. I have installed the latest K-lite codec pack full. And then I attempt to install quicktimealt and quicktimealt lite, both versions installed fine, but when I try running .mov files, the audio works but the video just f**ks up. Basically it freezes, then stretches to the video size and remains blank with a frozen image of before it froze. Anyone have any ideas?

The 1.81 version was great. Updating to 1.90 gave me stupid problems. Why is there no prompt asking me if I want to make WMP to the default player for Quicktime files? Why doesn't WMP11 recognize the codecs? Why doesn't this codecpack work at all!?

MOV files work bad on my Asus A8Jr notebook. They have awful pixelization and they are working slowly. Removing DS mode with .hdmov files is also bad idea - this was only way to play HD movies on my equipment.
