<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: QuickTime Can Be Useful
Apple QuickTime is a multimedia player most widely used to play proprietary media types, such as .mov files. QuickTime is also used by professional media producers for encoding multimedia files. If you want to use any proprietary QuickTime media files, QuickTime is a useful application to install.
On the Other: There Are Alternatives
There are other ways of playing QuickTime files on a computer, such as the QT Lite application for Windows computers. This is less robust than a full installation of Apple QuickTime and has less features, but it may be an effective way of playing many QuickTime files.
Bottom Line
Apple QuickTime is the most robust way of playing QuickTime media files, although some users may find it to be a relatively large installation. There are alternatives, such as QT Lite for Windows, that provide much of the playback functionality for QuickTime media files. It really depends on how robust of a QuickTime media experience you may be looking for.
