Do you guys watch movies in quicktime or itunes?

Gonna import a bunch of movies and was wondering if I should save them all in a "movies" folder and watch them via quicktime, or if I should put them all in itunes and watch through there?

Which will give me better quality? Or is it all the same? Thanks : )

I watch them in Plex. Before Plex, I had my movies and TV shows and such copied onto my hard drive and watched them with QuickTime.

Is it possible to have my movies on my ipod without having them in itunes?

Yes. So long as a video file is iPod-compatible and you have the "manually manage music and videos" option selected, you can just drag it from Finder onto the iPod's icon in the iTunes sidebar.

I learn something new every day!

Getting back to the question at hand, I use QuickTime for most of my movie-viewing. iTunes tends to have a "laggy" UI and it frustrates me.

I use QuickTime X to watch movies over iTunes too. The interface is much more slick and streamlined. iTunes is just clunky.

How can I make QT my default movie player? When I open movies they default to itunes.

Select a video file in Finder, File -> Get Info -> Open with -> QuickTime.app, Change All.

I use Quicktime X. It's much cleaner and quicker to use.
