Spam and revert war over "official site"

I have semi-protected this article for a nominal period of 1 month because people are revert warring about which site (codecnews.com or codecguide.com) is the official site for this codec. Initially I wasn't sure which was the right site, but upon examining Alexa data, I see that codecnews.com has no traffic data, compared to codecguide.com which is around the 6000th most-visited site on the internet. This clear disparity suggests that codecnews.com is a domain registered to cannibalise on the traffic to codecguide.com, and is not the official site. A check of the WHOIS data on the domain confirms that it was registered in October 2008, compared to August 2004 for codecguide.com. In light of this, and without any references in favour of codecnews.com being the "official site", I am treating any link changes to codecnews.com as spam, and reverting accordingly. If the semi-protection is ineffective to prevent this spam, I will fully protect the article from editing. - Mark 13:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Windows 2000 - v1.90

QuickTime Alternative 1.90 was the last version with support for Windows 2000. This old version is still listed on the main codecguide website, and can be downloaded from FileHippo, along with lots of other old versions.

But QT Lite 1.90 is also the last version with support for Windows 2000. It is not listed anywhere, and cannot be downloaded anywhere. Which is frustrating, and nuts. - 96.237.13.253 ( talk) 15:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC) reply

QTAlt - MPC = QTLite ?

The QuickTime Alternative installation offers a box to uncheck to not install Media Player Classic. The may result in an installation pretty much the same as QT Lite? - 96.237.5.252 ( talk) 18:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC) reply
