Quick Time is one of the best known media programs currently in existence.  It can be used to play Quick Time files, which are frequently in file formats that other players such as Real Player do not really understand.  For this reason, Quick Time has been able to cordon off a portion of the media market for themselves and because of this there have been many points of stagnation in Quick Time’s software development.  Chief amongst these points are the fact that Quick Time software is bulky and on many systems and browsers has many problems in terms of smooth running, even with ridiculous hardware specifications in place.

For this reason, many people would look kindly upon an alternative to the Quick Time software and the Quick Time Alternative is that piece of software.  The latest version, version 2.5.1, was released on April 4th and has already been downloaded millions of times.  It has the same file format support as Quick Time and has the ability to play files of .mov, .qt, .3gp and many of the other file formats that are most frequently associated with the Quick Time Player.  However, the software itself is streamlined and presents a valid alternative to Quick Time, fulfilling the dreams of many that need support for those file formats but don’t like the way that Quick Time operates.

This software package is also free and it can be downloaded at http://www.codecguide.com/about_qt.htm.
