If you have a windows PC/Laptop and you have Quicktime installed, its probably a good idea to uninstall it and use VLC instead. Apple is not going to provide support for Quicktime anymroe, so there will be security risks.

Frankly this has been true since February 1st, 2001 (when VLC was first released).

There are risks that already exist that Apple will not ever be patching.
