That's easy... QuickTime is a bunch of proprietary cr*p, and you can only
play it with their players (which naturally support all encoding types
they have) You can't play a quicktime file with winamp or any other
players.... In the Open Source world we wouln't want to limit the user to
one specific player... someone must have the freedom to play audio-only
files in his favority audio player, and video files in another player...
So, to satisfy windows users (and other systems dependant on file
extensions :( ) we will have to use 2 different extensions...

It's easy.... but limiting users to using that and only that
player/launcher... think 'free speech' here...
