Quicktime (Apple)

Quicktime is a multimedia development, storage, and playback technology from Apple. Quicktime files combine sound, text, animation, and video in a single file. Using a Quicktime player that either comes with a Web browser or can be downloaded from Apple or the browser company, you can view and control brief multimedia sequences.

QuickTime's newest campaign is to "keep our streams free," alluding to the per-stream charge that Real levies on those who broadcast media through its service at a high-volume level. Anyone considering paying Real's rent-a-stream fees may want to check out QuickTime first, which has no such charge

Quicktime files can be recognized by their file name extensions: qt, mov, and moov.
