QuickTime & Real player Alternative

Hi, i heard about two open-source programs that do the same thing than QuickTime and RealOne do.
Yhis is the first time than i heard about those programs, i want to know,
Does someone know/use these programs?
They are "clean" to use? (without spywares etc')

Here is some info about QuickTime Alternative:

Thnanks to all

 

I've been using these for a little while now with good results. Although they do come with "classic media player" (and no, no spyware), you don't have to install it, and they aren't actual programs that do the same things as RealOne and Quicktime. They are actually codecs that let you play those files in Windows Media Player instead, so you don't have to have a bunch of different programs for different kinds of media files.

 

i got the quicktime alternative but opted out on the media player.

 

There'salso s'posed to be more similar packs out there (Ace codecs pack is famous, i believe, as one of the most thorough)

 

Thanks, so let me underastan please
I can install a codec pack than will add the option to play RM and MOV ( and the others files of real and quicktime) on my Windows media player 9?
Could someone give me the name of these codecs?

Thnaks a lot!!

 

Another app that may do the trick is this one, has lots of nice plugins for various formats:

Thanks I had installed Irfanview and now i just installed the Plugins pack.
Hope it will help

Anyway, if anyone know the adress of the codecs pack please write it there..

Thanks again..!!

 

the codec packs are replacements i believe, for any media players we use. they hav a folder in program files. google will give you the urls

 

Codecs are basically the instructions the media players use to display the video/audio you are playing. Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative are codecs, they just come bundled with "classic media player" in case you don't have anything else to use (if you already have the latest Windows Media Player, just deselect the option to install "classic media player" during the install.)

Just install Real Alternative & Quicktime Alternative, at the end of the installation select the option to make Windows Media Player open those files, easy as that.

 

Yes, i have installed these two programs.. Thank you all
I did it.. becpuse the IrfanView doesn't work well.. so..
every one of you help me a lot!! thanks
