Quicktime is just as popular as the .mov format that it was made to support (which is not popular at all) Maybe 7yrs ago some people used Quicktime. But it's loooong gone as a popular media player. (aside from Mac users probably) Both Quicktime/MOV and RealPlayer/RM player/formats went out the door long ago.

And I'm not sure what MPGs you're referring to - Windows MediaPlayer (WMP) play mpg just fine, stock.

Anyway, my point is.. Goldbrick uses a long defunct player which nobody uses anymore, try and play mpgs, so for mpgs, Goldbric is useless unfortunately.

QuickTime comes out the box with many PCs. I'm not sure where you got the idea that no one uses it anymore. But in any case, what I'm saying is, your MPG video isn't playing inline with my updated QuickTime either, and when I download it it causes Windows Player to freeze up. It appears to be a corrupted file.

A codec isn't something that comes stock with your player, but something that your PC has installed. So not everyone will have the same ones depending on what came with their PC. There's some useful info here all of that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992
