Can I Get Just The Quicktime Codec

<div class="IPBDescription">without any of the bloatware?</div> I recently went to one of my favorite YTMND sites, and found I couldn't play the sound file associated with it. (It's the one from CWAG's sig and avatar if you're curious...) According to firefox, I need quicktime to play it properly. I've tried installing Quicktime Alternative - both the 1.48 and 1.50 beta1 versions - and nothing works.

I'd hate to install QT, because of all the bloatware (ie: the quicktime player and iTunes; whatever itunes is...) that comes with it. Is there any place I can get just the codec?

    You don't have to install iTunes with Quicktime: download the Win 98/ME version. It's the same Quicktime program. iTunes requires Windows 2000+ to run, which is why there's a distinction.

    Meh. There's nothing wrong with installing regular old Quicktime. It's RealPlayer that you have to watch out for. The Quicktime player is actually pretty good.

    [EDIT:] By the way, I think that it's optional to install the player. Asks you when you run the installer.

    ARRRGH! (Is that spelled with 3 R's or 4?)

    Alright, I've installed QT on my machine, but I still don't hear anything on YTMND. I've tried multiple reinstalls, and even uninstalled ALL of my media programs (Winamp, VLC and QT) and did a fresh install of each - and still I get nothing! How can I configure QT to work with FireFox?

    If you're using Firefox (like you better damn well be, wench.) You have to install a special QT plug in too.

    I only use IE for windows update, and I'd drop it off my HD compeletely if there was another way to use windows update. ^_^

    Where can I get this almighty plugin, O wise one?

    Or you could just get the Quicktime Alternative codec

    I've tried that - both the 1.48 and 1.5 beta, and they didn't work. I'll give them another shot though.

    I have the same problem.

    FireFox tells me that I'm missing a plug-in. I ask what the plug-in is. It tells me it's the QT plug-in. I tell it to grab the plug-in. It tells me I need to do a manual install, and leads to the QT website. I uninstall my QT, and I download and install the latest version (with iTunes crap). I go back to YTMND.

    It's because Quicktime doesn't have a Firefox plugin. You'll have to view those sites in IE.

    guys... you need to set up your MIME settings.

    Go into quicktime (making sure firefox is closed) and then click preferences -> browser plugins -> mime.
    Now make sure 'mp3' is ticked and the ytmnd sites should work :3

    FireFox will actually play QuickTime movies just fine, it's just ytmnd that doesn't like FireFox.

    oh... and for the record, what I suggested worked fine for Quicktime before I upgraded to 7. Now that I'm on 7 I can't get it to work ¬.¬

    guys; I fixed it but... well... I basically did it by uninstalling QT7 and reinstalling QT6.5.2 XD

    oh and if QT6.5.2 is giving you probs on the ytmnd sites then the full guide on what I described that fixes it is <a href='http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206210' target='_blank'>http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206210</a> .
    It even includes a testpage :D

    QT7 just plain doesn't work with firefox as far as I can tell though ¬.¬

    QT7 isn't really for the average user.. as it has the special high definition option for movie trailers, of course you pretty much need a super comp to use that option anyway...

    This worked for me. I had done it in the past, but because of upgrading Firefox, not selecting the proper options for Quicktime's file associations, as well as not closing Firefox while I was setting up Quicktime, my success hadn't been great. It's working fine for me now.

    If it weren't for the ad banner that is included in the Opera browser, I would have a very tough time deciding whether to use Firefox or Opera.
