It's crazy how even today, VLC still can't scrub in an h264 video and even skipping around takes seconds for it to catch up while QuickTime Player (AVFoundation) can scrub around in realtime.
Early QuickTime was a miracle playing video on 25 MHz Motorola CPUs.
QT is so much faster than anything else. I'll only use VLC if the format is weird or if I want some feature like playlists.

I'm completely ignorant on this topic but couldn't this be related to patents?
