Waiting until the remote code execution security hole is plugged would
seem to be a sensible thing:
"The Apple Security Team reports that there are multiple
vulnerabilities within QuickTime (one of the plugins for
win32-codecs). A remote attacker capable of creating a malicious SGI
image, FlashPix, FLC movie, or a QuickTime movie can possibly lead to
execution of arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (application
crash).
Users who have QuickTime (/win32-codecs) as a browser plugin may be
vulnerable to remote code execution by visiting a website containing a
malicious SGI image, FlashPix, FLC movie or a QuickTime movie."
