I downloaded the latest Quicktime to watch a video and discovered iTunes installed.
Quicktime is gone.
On the same page where you downloaded QuickTime, there's a link for the "QuickTime Standalone Installer."

There is something about media applications or anything trendy where everyone wants to OWN the consumer.
Yesterday, I was looking for ringtones for my cellphone. READ the fine print on those sites! ALL OF IT! Even though it is written in Lawyerspeak, page after page..Or you will find yourself with unwanted $9.99/ month "Subscriptions", having your data sold, etc.etc.
There is a non-Apple "Quicktime Alternative"(Search) player that will play those MOV files without resorting to unwanted bundling.
NOTHING IS FREE.
When websites advertise "Free Downloads" one quickly finds out that "FREE" is something most people cannot afford.
Quicktime is gone.
Try going to Free-Codecs.com and check out both Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative. There are also a number of "codec packs" that bundle codecs for just about every format of audio and video file there is.
