Look, it's really quite simple. People want to be able to view the video files they download. VLC and mplayer will play more of these files. People don't care if the person did a poor job of encoding them. I'm not even sure if this is true actually, you're claiming that someone poorly encoded the video I have without even having any information about this file. The fact is that both mplayer and VLC play the files just fine. Many AVIs have wma audio in them, and mac users should be able to listen to them. They can with VLC; they can't with this. Simple as that. You can go and hunt down the author of every video file that doesn't play with this QT component and instruct them in the art of proper encoding, but personally, I think it'd be a lot easier to just view it in VLC.
