Gee, are you missing the point.  I have QuickTime loaded on my computer as I

I just used it last night.  It crapped out.  Fine, quality software.
Crapped out after loading two plugins to render an MPEG-2 file.

Hmmmm.

Did you buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 component or try to use a third party plug-in?

And when you say "render," were you encoding a file or just trying to play one?

Apple's MPEG-2 encoder is included with Final Cut Studio as part of the DVD Studio Pro 4 application.


However, I did not load the latest version, so the damn webpage wouldn't let
me download or stream the file you pointed me to.  Not being a fanboy of
Apple, and not wanting to actually work to remove the many layers of crap
that Apple bundles into the "free" download, I couldn't view the file.
Tough shit.

Sounds like a sob story to me.


I have at least five media players on my computer (Windows Media, VLC, Real,
Divx, QuickTime).  Real and QuickTime I almost never use, nor have a need to
use.

Apparently you do not create content.

P.S. You can download the current version here without iTunes


http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_5_5_for_Windows

After this is installed, try using the "Enter Full Screen" command under the View menu.
