I would like to get QuickTime for Win2000, BUT:
1) the latest version, at least on the Apple site, includes iTunes which
i *DO NOT* want, *period*.
2) that same file is umpteen megabytes and would take a number of !days!
to download via POTS - not exactly conducive to reliablity of results,
not to speak of the non-useability of the computer during that time.

So..
Is there a version of QuickTime that does *NOT* have iTunes, is
fairly recent, runs on the Windows 2000 platform, and easily obtainable?

How about this instead-

QuickTime Alternative (Freeware)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English
Description: QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files
(.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install QuickTime Player
from Apple. It also supports QuickTime content that is embedded in
webpages. The very user-friendly installation is fully customizable, which
means that you can install only those components that you want. It is
highly recommended to uninstall all existing QuickTime related software,
like QuickTime Player, before installing. This way your system stays clean
and potential problems will be avoided.

Thanks to both of you.
The Codecguide link worked the next day; have it installed (codecs
and plugin only).
Now i have to figure how to test all of the possible formats (have
DirectX 8 & 9 loaded, all codecs for media player 7-9 loaded and the
Flash player too).
At least i know the flash plugin works for NS 7.2...
