| Platinum Member | Hey all fellow IBBians just wanted to share some information what i came across an year back; I know u hate the hoggy Real player and the somewhat bossy and MACcyy ( ) Quicktime player;Here's a solution for u all; Free-Codecs.com :: Download Real Alternative 1.90 : Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer/RealOne Player Free-Codecs.com : QuickTime Alternative 2.7.0 : QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player. Installing these marvelous appz (not exactly apps; codecs and dlls to be exact) will allow you to get all the functionality associated with the above mentioned applications, yet prevent your system from being hogged up I know many of you must be already knowing about these; this thread is to inform many others who are still suffering from the many players they have to install on their systems. Cheers! |

Rep Power: 6 | These are my favourite Firefox addons. And now these too. OK! I exaggerated a little, make it 8 time a year. But, now I don't reinstall like I used to. I am happy with Ubuntu. And only use Windows XP for playing games. Last edited by Archer; 11-12-08 at 04:25 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
