Fred: With QuickTime you need what are called component plugins to make QuickTime to see/play files. The files usually go into the file folder /Library/QuickTime/.
1. For MPEG playback use Apple's MPEG-2 component.
2. For other various formats use the free Perian
3. To play Windows Media 9 or below (Windows Media 10 has not been yet available for Mac - blame Microsoft) use Flip4Mac
These three QuickTime components will make your web video experience more enjoyable on a Mac.
Also if you want to hack a Mac to make it bend to your tastes search the web sites MacOSXHints and Accelerate Your Macintosh (with thier excellent drive upgrade lasso). Search these sites and you will find numerous ways to tweak your Mac to your tastes.
