QuickTime, meh, possible you might need that for in-page media I guess. I never do though. Real Media formats work just fine in VLC. No need for their proprietary bloatware.

Sadly, some BBC things are still in RM. The vast majority available in Windows Media formats too, but there's the occasional thing still only available with evil.
