Quicktime Alternative doesn't play Videos in Browser

I’m using Qt and Real-Alternative for a long time and never had problems with it.

For some reason i can’t watch Quicktime in my browser anymore (latest Firefox, IE, ..).

When i go to Quicktime.com’s movie trailers and want to watch them i just get an icon and when i right-click it, i get the menu for the QT-Codec.
When i enter the URL to the *.mov directly it says “Click here to play movie - QuickTime required”

What is this ??? Hat Qt-Alt 1.50B1 and reinstalled the 1.48. It’s all the same problem.

Please help me

I’ve experienced this in the past too. Usually the current version of QT Alt wouldn’t support a newer version of the browser (like firefox). Updating to the latest version of QTA usually works.
In your case I suspect it’s more than that. I don’t remember the exact date Apple released QuickTime 7, but since then H.264 videos have been popping up. The codec isn’t available for QuickTime 6. And since QuickTime 7 for Windows wasn’t available yet (at the time of your post - I think...), there isn’t a QTA for that version either. One possible attempt would be to try installing QT7 preview, and see if it works. (I know QT6 and QTA can be on the same system together at the same time, but I don’t know about QTA and QT7)
