The format isnt what is to be bashed though, it is how quicktime (the player) implements itself into everything and how it is just not incompatible enough to crash. If you have another player which supports the quicktime format than use that instead.

i tried it in vlc first, and it lagged even worse than quicktime

the vlc team needs to work better at quicktime and realmedia movies :/

From what I gather, both Realmedia movies haven't had their specifications released, hence it's harder to make a playback mechanism for them.

Quicktime uses a very complicated way of storing movies as well, although it's specifications (I believe) have been released to the MPEG group.

As to codecs... I use Xvid. It's got a lot of backing out there... primary because the encoder is free. (Which is probably why it's used by a lot of "shady" groups on the internet.) I used to use WMV when I made movies with Windows Movie Maker (I *know*... )

Quicktime really does die for High Res videos for me. I'm gonna download Quicktime alternative and give it a bash.

(Oh, and we're not really going off topic, there really wasn't a proper topic to start with ).
