GNL, what he's saying is that instead of downloading the free WMP, which doesn't integrate into the system at all, you have to pay $30 for the codecs so you can import the files into iMovie, or watch videos on the web without having to download and crap. I found a program that's free that'll support most movie types. It only lacks wmv from what I've seen. Actually, the only thing you have to pay to get Quicktime to read is wmv.

WMP is free and renders full screen videos smoothly. QuickTime has an edge on making thinks harder than they actually are. “You can get all WMP’s features and more in Quicktime, but it’s thirty bucks.”

When Apple decided to create the Pro version and charge for it, they didn't just add new features, they took lots of features out of Standard. Most of the features were editing related, but the loss of full screen playback really pissed me off. Especially when I realized that it wasn't QuickTime itself that was crippled, just the included QuickTime Player. Any application that used QuickTime could display full-screen video if it wanted, Pro version or not. iTunes, for example, could play back videos at full screen. Sorry if I sound a little bitter... I must be getting cranky in my "old age"... ;) More than 10 years ago, before QuickTime was separated into Pro and Standard versions, there was full-screen in the standard QuickTime Player.
