QuickTime Alternative is a codec package for Microsoft Windows created for playing QuickTime files (.MOV). Normally, Apple Inc.'s official QuickTime software is required to play back QuickTime .MOV video files.
QuickTime Alternative uses codecs taken from QuickTime 7.[1] As such, many question its legitimacy as the codec package is not a licensed Apple product[citation needed].
Also included are the latest versions of Media Player Classic and the QuickTime web browser plugin, which supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Netscape.

[edit] History
On June 9, 2007, a new page was created with instructions on how to install and configure the official QuickTime player for minimum intrusion and maximum quality.[2]
On June 28, 2007, an alternative package called QT Lite was introduced.
On September 14, 2007, a new version (1.90) of QuickTime Alternative was released. This time without any Pro functionality. Another change was the removal of DirectShow filters that were included in prior versions.
