The Quick Time Player is one of the most popular if not the most popular player around.  Not only does it have the ability to be universally adaptable and play file formats all the way from the typically seen .mov to the lesser known .3gp, but it also has a number of really neat abilities not only to manipulate files you already have, but also to connect to remote databases and download new files just like Windows Media Player.

The one major drawback of the Quick Time Player is that the installation for the player itself is amazingly large.   In other words, not only is the download going to be a while coming, but in addition to that the installation will be resource intensive.

One way to avoid this situation is to use the Quick Time Alternative.  The QT7 Lite 1.81 is the latest in a long time of Quick Time Programs that were intended to have the same great features as Quick Time, but without the resource intensive aspect of the program itself.   You can play all of the supported Quick Time formats and in addition to that also play embedded content in different pages you might encounter online.   However, the computer resources needed are greatly reduced, allowing you to use your precious resources for other tasks.
