Top 3 QuickTime Alternatives for Your PC

The QuickTime Player has been part of Apple's operating systems for over a decade. During this time, it has become an integral part of the system. It is used for everything from playing videos to streaming media. This, however, is not the case on Windows.
While Apple still includes the QuickTime Player with its operating system, it is not the default player. Windows users are more likely to use Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player.
