personally i like vlc player to view quicktime files but when it comes to render video file in image sequence or to shrink it in a small size than no other software can beat the QuickTime............

there used to be a time when it was must have quicktime installed to play 3gp files ... but now a days softwares like vlc and win media player classic with xp codec pack dont at all leave any need of using quicktime player

quicktime is a worthless player..
apple are pushing it and people are forced to have it to watch apple trailers.
i think apple should provieoptions of media player as well to view trailers!

1) 3gp extension was introduced by qt i guess.....

2) as far as i know ... 3gp had some sort of usage right relation with qt ... what i am trying to say is that before s/ws such as vlc etc we needed to install qt even to play a 3gp file on other softwares like real player ...

i am not quite technically sure about this thing ...

ya QT nd VLC have the usage rights to view these file..........few other players also hav such kind of rights..............

does media player have the ryt or not??
with k-lite,i suppose media player gets every sort of media right!!

QT has had its share of spotlight. but now it seems to havbe outlived its usefulness

Totally useless software now...
With the growth of VLC, MPC & GOM.

no the windows media player (WMP) wont hav any such right to viewing the 3gp content...........

we need to install a seprate codec for WMP to view the 3GP content in WMP...........

klite codec pack also contains some codec for quick time for WMP.........but i prefer to do it with the seprate one..............coz that seprate codec have more features to re encode a video in comparison to a codec from a combo pack

whats the use of having so many different players when one, max two players can handle all the formats in the world!!

it depands on the work yaar.....can the WMP,MPC or VLC render files in image sequence which was in .tga format or can they compress the videos in 25-30 mb from more than 100 mb with a very bit of quality loss...........???.........
