Thorsten was right on one count yesterday (which somebody responded to 
by writing "lol"):  iTunes does have a QT video player "built-in", 
probably via a QuickTime plug-in. Only downside of such a "built-in" 
player though is the inability to save the videos, despite having a 
registered version of QT Pro. I tried it and I don't get a save option. 
: -(

I mean I can watch them in the store as often as I want. I just wonder 
how long they will leave such videos up for viewing before replacing 
them with something newer.
