openquicktime never worked for me several years ago and I doubt that's
changed until now. win32-codecs has been the only thing that's worked
for me with quicktime.

The quicktime format has advanced sufficiently in the past couple
years that I doubt that it would properly support playing quicktime
videos... That's part of what I'm driving at.
