       I have already. Multiple times.   
      
       The best you idiots could do is spout off about some Mac variant   
   of ffmpeg and leave it at that.   
      
       Really the most effective way to deal with Quicktime's limitations is   
   to install something that doesn't depend upon it at all like VLC or Plex.   
      
       The Ubuntu default video player also sorts out it's own plugins quite   
   nicely when you stumble upon something it can't handle. It determines what   
   it is missing, downloads that by itself, and then plays your file.
