Alternative MOV players to Quicktime? (1 Viewer)

[NickSo]

Are there any other players out there that will play MOV files properly??? Quicktime 5 is just too 'bloated' for my P166 (im using Windows Media Player 6.4 as well), i need something that'll load faster and play movies smoothly...

Anyting? thanks

AFAIK there isn't. The only alternative would be to run them through mov2avi and convert them to avi files.

 

[NickSo]

ah, okay thanks..

Quicktime 5 isn't anywhere near as bloated as WMP.

But quicktime sucks large! I hate it! Not as much as Real Player though

But quicktime sucks large!

Why?

 

[NickSo]

Yeah, i hate realONE, Quicktime5, WMP7...
WMP 6.4 is all good.. Nice and simple...

WMP 6.4 is a good player (it's not bloated). WMP7 and RealPlayer are the worst though (RP more so).
However, I've always liked Quicktime. I don't know why, but I just do

QT5/Sorenson 3 is the best codec out there for web movies

However, Nick, you're running into CPU barriers. That's the problem. You just don't have the horsepower for decompression
