Codec question

[hdansjr]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but i really dont' know the answer...If i download the K-lite Codec pack from here http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm Will this pack allow me to view qucktime flies using WMP? IF the answer is no, is there a way I can view quicktime files using WMP 10?

File formats that are not supported

RealNetworks content (.ra, .rm, .ram)
RealNetworks content is created by software that is developed by RealNetworks. The content is compressed with proprietary RealVideo and RealAudio codecs and is stored in a file format developed by RealNetworks.
To play RealNetworks content, obtain the RealOne player. To do so, visit the following RealNetworks Web site:

http://www.real.com (http://www.real.com)

QuickTime content (.mov, .qt)

Apple Computer developed the QuickTime file format to create, edit, publish, and view multimedia files. QuickTime format can contain video, animation, graphics, 3D and virtual reality (VR) content. Only QuickTime files version 2.0 or earlier can be played in Windows Media Player. Later versions of QuickTime require the proprietary Apple QuickTime Player.
For more information, visit the following Apple Web site:

So basically no, WMP will not play quicktime files. Get something like VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/
