Apple Quicktime and Realmedias Realplayer are typical heavyweight programs that install themselves in ways that could influence the speed of your system. Both add parts of their suit to be run at system startup and load slowly nevertheless. It is also great if you distrust big companies and are looking for freeware alternatives to those big media suits.
Real Alternative is able to play all media files that the Real Player is able to play including streaming content and content on websites. Quicktime Alternative has the same functionality as Apples Quicktime software as well. What makes both alternatives great is that they do not have background processes running and that there is no advertisement, no registration or other annonying things going on.
Both players tend to use lower ressources than the original players which is great if you are using a computer that is not running on the latest hardware. I suggest to uninstall the original players and install the alternative versions because of those reasons. Quicktime Alternative is also working with iTunes if you install those tools in a certain order. First Quicktime Alternative, then iTunes + Quicktime, uninstall Quicktime, install Quicktime Alternative.
