It looks like the last version for windows 2000 is
Quicktime 7.1.6 at http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_1_6_for_Windows

You need to enable CC using Edit / Preferences / Player Preferences and there’s a check box to show Closed Captioning when available.

There is one security update to 7.1.6 at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/securityupdatequicktime716forwindows.html

There’s also iTunes 7.3.2 http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes_7_3_2_for_Windows_2000

Obviously no help at all…..so I can forget about QT on W 200 Pro.

So much for that.

v7.2 will work on 2000 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:22:07 +0000

I was able to install QuickTime 7.2 on Windows 2000. I extracted the quicktime.msi from QuickTimeInstaller72.exe and then used Orca to change the LaunchCondition “VersionNT” entry to be VersionNT>=500 (instead of 501 which is XP).

Since v7.2, Apple has once again upped the ante by introducing a non-supported system call to QuickTimePlayer.exe (namely SHParseDisplayName, patchable to SHGetFolderPathW followed by two trailing zeros). But there’s another surprise: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts requires kernel calls that don’t exist (and that I’m in no mood to patch), so apparently the only way to keep running at least somewhat up-to-date QuickTime is to keep using QT 7.2’s QuickTime.qts.

QuickTime versions < 7.2 have serious security problems. Firefox 3 will automatically disable its plugin for this very reason, for instance.

This means that there is NO SECURE VERSION OF QUICKTIME for Windows 2000 or earlier. At all. Period. Nor is there a version that will work inside of Firefox 3 under Win2k. If you have ANY version of QuickTime on a Windows 2000 machine and it’s connected to the Internet, it’s potentially wide-open to hackers no matter WHAT other protections you may have installed!

You may be able to get by with QuickTime Alternative (basically Windows Media Player Classic 6.4, which had partial QuickTime support until Apple’s lawyers made them yank it out in WMP 7 and up), but that doesn’t support newer features of QuickTime.

Try installing QuickTime v6. Version 6 works well on Windows 2000. I do not know if you can still directly download this version form internet. But you can still get Quicktime v6 using P2P on eMule or Limewire.
