QuickTime

QuickTime is one of the biggest Apple success stories. Since its introduction in the early 1990s as a way to watch video on your Macintosh, QuickTime has grown to encompass just about every kind of media available—whether that means audio, video, or still images. QuickTime is unsurpassed in the number of file formats it can handle, and it makes those capabilities available to all kinds of programs, which rely on QuickTime for the heavy lifting. QuickTime is available for both Macintoshes and Windows-based PCs, and it can play streaming video and audio as well as files on your hard drive.
