Re: Seeking Quicktime converter
The 'new RealPlayer' isn't a RealPlayer anymore. It's some sort of advertising machine. I'm not gonna install that monstrosity in my system either. I have RP8 and I'm sticking with it.
But it's not a question of choosing a streaming format. There are plenty of high-bandwidth formats that would work fine and are not bound to some commercial entity. DivX, MPEG, etc. QT is proprietary to the Mac and there is no 'native' Windows codec for it. The only choice for QT in Windows, the Apple Quicktime player, screws with many, many settings in Windows that are none of its business and it installs a 'background process' to try to seize control at the system level for some reason. Dunno why. I've heard people report that removing the process doesn't cause obvious problems but maybe they just haven't hit the snag it was intended to 'fix' yet.
