I'm re-doing my computer from scratch and am wondering what is the best version of QuickTime to install with Win98SE.

6.5.2 is the last version which will work on your OS I believe.

You can use QuickTime Alternative.
It is QuickTime codec pack without player and work great on Win98SE.

I sort of found a solution for Quicktime on 98. I am sure that most of you know that the latest version of QT will not install on Win98/ME.

Check this out

https://addons.mozil...rg/firefox/446/

and VLC(www.videolan.org), I imagine Mplayer for windows could also work.

Thank goodness for these projects.

I am curious if other know of media players that could work for quickime?

[awergh]

you could use quicktime alternative

QuickTime 6.5.2 shows everything it always did. I install QuickTime 2.1.2.59, reboot, then install QuickTime 6.5.2 and uncheck the tray icon, check to use defaults on Mime and File Types, and check to use General Midi on the music tab (so it'll use my Soundfonts instead of the Quicktime Synth).

So far no alternative's will play the newer format for video that QuickTime 7 and above have. But I've noticed recently that sites will now play at least the audio portions instead of simply refusing to play like they used to. Files using the older video format play normally.

I only install the older 2.1.2.59 because I have games that need that to be installed. I do the same thing on XP, but install the latest QuickTime instead of 6.5.2 of course.

I don't think you all are getting it. Try:

You have to have the latest quicktime or Alternative, these won't work on Win98/ME

But the solution I am reccomending will.

sorry forgot link:

Try:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/

It doesn't work with the Quicktime Alternative (at least the version for 98/ME)

My solutions does. (at least all the times I tried)




By the way, I recommend VLC version 0.84a
