Any recent ffmpeg-based player (last year or so, IIRC) will play just about any QuickTime file you throw at it. If you're on Windows, try FFDShow and Media Player Classic.

The only platform I have that Quicktime has been ported to is Windows XP, and my experience with Windows-based Quicktime is that it's very slow, a memory-hog, too buggy, full of advertisements for other Apple products (I hear it's got much worse after iTunes and the iProduct revolution), and I don't get the same quality as with other file formats the same size. One of the last crashes I had with Windows was the boot after I installed Quicktime; I uninstalled it in Safe Mode, and my computer booted again.
I'm told it's none of these things on a Mac. Too bad my only Mac is a SE/30...
