update
btw, so far so good with SP1. I haven’t noticed any significant improvements or anything, but I haven’t noticed any problems either.
Quicktime Alternative seems to be ok so far. I did end up reinstalling it with MPC, and I may have to play around with it a little more. I don’t want to have to install a bunch of codecs but I haven’t figured out just what I need yet. I think the only thing I really need to use Quicktime for is watching movies in SecondLife. Granted, we don’t do it very often and the quality is pretty mediocre but it’s the only way I’ve found so far to watch whole movies together, and the selection and price beats the other options like Amazon Unbox or Cinema Now. It just irks me to have install or hang on to more (questionable) software I hardly ever use. If anyone has a better solution I’d love to hear about it. Uhm…that is if anyone actually reads this, which part of me hopes no one ever does, lol.
