QuickTime
Apple’s format for streaming video and audio, also a player than works in Macs and PCs. Apple uses both the words iTunes and QuickTime to refer to the software. The free QuickTime viewer lets you play sound or video in QuickTime format on a Mac or PC. It is usually bundled with iTunes which manages a library of recordings and allows you to upload them to your iPod. You may need to download additional codecs from third parties to play some files. A codec is a software plugin that is able to decompress the stream into an audio and/or video signal. Don’t install a codec unless Apple recommends it. It may be malware or poor quality that will mess up your entire machine. If QuickTime fails to play a file, try Winamp, Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

QuickTime does not buffer correctly. It pauses, and jerks and leaps ahead. Further it won’t go into full screen mode. This is one case where I prefer the Microsoft software. It may have compensating virtues since it is popular on the web.
