Quicktime 7 for older OS's


I got this cool tip from a VTS subscriber today. Check it out....

I'm still using Windows 98 but I've found that VLC media player can open
Quicktime 7 files on my operating system.
So if anyone has trouble opening the files due to an old OS just send
them over to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and hopefully that should sort
things out.

Thanks to Abe for that one. So all you old school OS users, you can use QT 7 files. And Quicktime 7 is really, really cool. H.264 codec. Mmmmmm. Tasty.

The problem is with shortcoming DRM technology, this kind* of player will be illegal.

Videolan is great, it's working on a lot of platform, read a lot of videos natively without being messed up with codec's installation/spyware/adware etc etc... Again a good exemple about how "closed sources" and proprietary software are fu***** on our rights.

cheers
