Quicktime kicks it's ass how? I agree that WMV is a shit format, but QT is a spyware-infected system resource hogging shitfest.

Give me MPG4 anyday.

And the NES probably flickers because it has a cheapass PPU.
I agree. I hate both formats, but man I really can't stand Quicktime.

Quicktime = spyware?  You'll have to explain that one.  Please provide evidence.

Keranu typically hates anything that is good.

It's supposedly been fixed, but since an Apple box keeps popping up in Firefox asking me to install it, I HIGHLY doubt this.

That looks more like an exploit to me.  Anyway, from the article you linked to:

Quote from: The article

Apple said that the vulnerability does not affect Windows users or versions of Mac OS prior to 10.4.


On my Windows computer Quicktime NEVER has "Apple boxes" popping up asking me to install something that I already have.  I'd try one of two things:  TOTALLY remove Quicktime from your computer or get a serial number for the PRO version.  They are all over the internet.

Who the hell uses the official players for the various video codecs anyways?  That's pretty silly.

As a codec, both are alright I guess.  If I had a choice, I would pick something MPEG based, but it's really not that big of a deal unless you are a A\V nerd.

Quicktime offers a billion different codecs and WMV probably offers a few as well (not sure).  H.264 with AAC audio is the best way to go.  VLC media player is a good one that can play most formats.

It's an update box...not an installer, my bad.

Go into your preferences (or whatever they call them on Windows) and tell it to NOT check for updates.

I'm definately an A/V nerd, and I prefer any MPEG format over both the QuickTime formats (.mov/.qt/.whateverelsetheyhave) and WMV (f*ck DRM).

VLC is amazing, it plays almost anything even it's corrupted, it tries to play it as far as it's possible.

Oh god REALmedia sucks so much ass.  I do not care for MPEG 1 either.  Even at its best settings it looks gawdawful and takes up a HUGE amount of file space.  MPEG4 is da bomb, even though it really is only a container format like Quicktime.  When either Quicktime or MPEG4 is using H.26motherf*ckin'4 along with AAC audio, the world kicks so much ass!  Seriously, life CAN'T get better!  If it weren't for the H.264 and AAC combination, I'd invent a time machine so I could go back and prevent myself from being born, as life wouldn't be worth living.

I don't think the master system can play any of those formats
