Tip 26: Play Quicktime and Real Player files without installing the applications

11/16/2006; 5:31 PM

I find RealPlayer and Quicktime very bulky useless applications I could happily live without. The problem is I can't because these files are everywhere. At last I found a solution, install the codec files to play these files without installing the whole applications.

Once the codecs are installed you can still access QuickTime and RealMedia content through the browser (IE/Mozilla/Opera) and play offline files using the standard media player.
