1) Don't get into interface design. Quicktime has the same
interface on every OS it runs on. It was designed to run on apple
OS. Programming in it on Widows can be a pain, but not impossible.
As it is an industry standard, I would suggest that anyone's issues
with the interface have to do with personal experience and bias.
2) bloat? compared to what?
3) codecs. Perhaps you may have noticed that Quicktime on windows
does not include a MPEG2 codec. Apple's windows MPEG2 codec is
junk. Other than edit suites, who uses Quicktime MPEG2 files on
Windows? If you are actually using the Quicktime SDK it is not hard
to use whatever codec you want.
An additional point. Apples DVD player app plays MPEG-2 files from
DVD using the QuickTime plumbing. The $19.95 MPEG-2 add on for
QuickTime allows you to work with MPEG-2 transport streams and files
that are not part of a DVD.
As for the quality of the Windows MPEG-2 component I have no
experience. Most people who create DVDs on PCs use applications that
bypass QuickTime entirely.
