| 757192 | 2009-03-17 18:14:00 | Hi everyone, I was just wondering out of interest if anyone has come across any good, free codecs for Quicktime running under Windows. Particuarly Xvid and the like. Cheers, Paul |

| 757193 | 2009-03-17 20:07:00 | http://perian.org/ Personally I never use quicktime. I prefer VLC or GOM EDIT:Oops, misread your post..do you need codes for quicktime? Or to play Quicktime files? If the latter, download K-Lite, as noted below. |

| 757194 | 2009-03-17 20:10:00 | The K-Lite codec (http://www.codecguide.com/) pack will allow you to play QuickTime. Not sure if it supports the very latest versions or not, but most newer .mov files are just Mpeg4 anyhow. | autechre (266) | ||
| 757195 | 2009-03-17 22:19:00 | Thanks guys. I have the K-Lite codec pack...was actually implying codecs for the Quicktime player itself. I usually use vlc but have just been dabbling with Apple Software recently! cheers |

| 757197 | 2009-03-17 23:30:00 | Most QuickTime components are for OS X; installing a QT component there makes it available to the vast majority of "media-centric" apps. On Windows it's a different story and QuickTime is really only just a player and very few apps hook into it. | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 757198 | 2009-03-17 23:42:00 | Then there is Quicktime Alternative: www.free-codecs.com |
