A gay-ass media player that you have to install in order to hear the audio on YTMND in Firefox. Also installs stupid iTunes with it.

Quicktime is so gay it's gay.

quicktime

1 - Not a video format, but a file container. The container is an open standard that relies on often proprietary codecs to deliver audio and video. Released originally in 1991 for the Macintosh, the underlying container hasn't changed much from its original specifications. This is essential, however - for the backwards compatibility that the platform delivers is unmatched by any other multimedia platform, except for perhaps Xiph.org's Ogg container.

Quicktime is typically known for its proprietary codecs as of Quicktime 3.0 or later which have been used to deliver audio and video over the Internet. Not known for top-notch streaming quality, the platform since 1999 has more or less been used to deliver progressive-download movies. Such as those found on ign64.ign.com ; the archived IGN Nintendo 64 news website.

Critics would argue that the platform is bloated, although no spyware or malware is distributed. A stand-alone installer is available for those that do not want iTunes, although iTunes is dependent upon the platform. Most of the proprietary codecs have been reverse-engineered, allowing playback in such players as VLC. Recently, Apple has moved away from standards such as Sorenson Video and qDesign music to insist on somewhat of a truly compatible model ; as supposed by the heavily patented MPEG-4 standard.

Quicktime directly competed with Real Network's real audio / video standard, Microsoft Windows Media, and Xiph's Ogg multimedia platform.

1- Quicktime is a container, not a video type.
2 - Quicktime sucks! It's so bloated! Yeah, if you try playing back high-res AVC on a Northwood...
3 - Major media outlets use Quicktime to fight off the invasion of the rather sucky Windows Media Video format.
4 - Quicktime is nice, but Theora is more useful for video despite its aging video portion..

Green Apple Quickstep

Squirty shits that often result in eating an Apple before its ripe. Usually come on quickly and without warning. Causing the victim to make a run for the nearest crapper.

Look at that stinky Pedro run, boy must have a case of the Green Apple Quickstep.

Quicken Loans Cattle Handle

When you pay a discount rate for a dry handjob while on a business trip to a rural area. The Quicken Loans Cattle Handle usually occurs in the backseat of a crew cab Chevy 2x4, while the handjobist's father is trying to buy dip in the Love's Gas Station. If timed improperly the Quicken Loans Cattle Handle can have disastrous results, including STI's, Blueballs or a Napoleon Complex.

Man I had to go to Oklahoma on a work trip, The wife made me promise not to do any cheating so all I did was get a couple Quicken Loans Cattle Handles to clear my head.

I got a Quicken Loans Cattle Handle yesterday, but her dad got out of the shell before I could finish.
