Warning: Uninstall Apple QuickTime for Windows now

I have resisted using this for years now. Never seen the need to use it again.
 
I avoided this ridiculous application at all costs. It was always slow, and seemingly always out of date.
 
what about my gopro video editing app, it uses quicktime,

hate quicktime, it slows down everything.
 
What are you using now?

I'm yet to find anything that supports the range of media types that VLC does.

Kodi for the indexing and library features which are second to none, and its modern, skinnable interface. And if you want to use VLC as your player, you can do so from within Kodi as well, by setting the default player to VLC.

OSMC is an interesting one I recently discovered, but haven't had a chance to play with it as of yet. It is a Kodi derivative, skinned and operating on a full Debian OS underneath, so has its advantages over something like Openelec on a few fronts for some use-cases.

You'll probably hack it to Mauritius and back, so have fun...:p

Mauritians use plex now :D
 
Hmmm, part of the Adobe suite needs QuickTime :/

VLC is rubbish, it messes up badly with large MKVs. Incorrect colours, colour banding and artifacts everywhere. Media Player Classic (with K-Lite Codex Pack) gets it right without fail. I've tried this on countless dozens of computers, VLC needs to improve or disappear.

Sounds like your countless computers are either underspecs or miss-configured or both.

I have no issues playing massive Gb blue ray movies at all.
