Is QuickTime Alternative up to the task?

Hello all!

I'm not technical savvy. Therefore, I can't discuss this stuff on too high a level.

I downloaded and installed QuickTime Alternative, since it advertized itself as being just that, but having the additional desirable characteristic of not being bundled with stuff I don't want, namely Ipod software.

I can't, however, seem to get this prog to work. I don't know whether it's me or the program. Does anyone out there have any familiarity with this program, which seems to be nothing more than a jury-rigged mplayer2 that will play all the movie trailers and other QuicTime files that the regular QuickTime player plays.

Thanks.
