I just want to add that the Real and Quicktime alternatives have not been updated in forever and that should you ever install them DO NOT check the box that also installs its version of Media Player Classic as it was cause it to default to that version instead of CCCP's default install of Media Player Classic which is much newer and better.
I'd advise against installing these anyway since CCCP's MPC will actually play these files and if you have any issues then go into the Options -> Formats and set Quicktime or Realplayer to DirectShow. That should make it play. You don't need these alternatives.
Plus most Quicktime shit on the net doesn't work with the alternative these days anymore. You should just install the stand-alone Quicktime installer (if you hate iTunes and don't want it bundled) in the case that you ever want to visit Apple's movie trailers page.
Honestly, the only other reason you'd want Quicktime installed is to set it to handle mp3s in Firefox for ytmnd pages. Otherwise most places use flash for video these days and for good reason too.
I'm just glad Apple wised up and decided it was retarded to charge people money so they can full-screen their videos in Quicktime. What bullshit.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
