I think people are misunderstanding what's going on here.

Quicktime doesn't listen on port 80.

Parcel video depends on Quicktime. If you uninstall quicktime, parcel  
video doesn't work.

This is almost certainly someone misinterpreting a parcel media  
request FROM the viewer to port 80 on an external server.
