I couldn't get mp4 videos to play with Quicktime 6, but it did with VLC media player

That's probably because MP4 is a relatively new format, and you haven't updated QuickTime to the latest version (6.5 I think).

Under Input formats - Real: No.

So not everything plays on VLC. Real Video doesn't, nor do videos compressed with Indeo 4/5.
And WMV only plays on Windows.
