I'm pretty sure the reasoning behind LL moving all the multimedia to a
plugin system was so that 3rd parties could write their own plugins.
There's nothing stopping anyone from writing a plugin to take over all the
functions the old Quicktime plugin does. It's just that nobody has bothered
to do it.

Quicktime is old, the current version is still compiled for Windows XP, and
Apple seems to have abandoned it. With HTML5, it's pretty much unnecessary
in this day and age. Someone should just write a new Parcel media plugin
and put quicktime to bed for good.
