How to tell if you have the QuickTime plug-in
To tell if you are using the QuickTime AVI video plug-in, launch your Web browser and go to this Web page. If you see the QuickTime logo on the Web page, followed by the first frame of the video with a playback control bar on the bottom, then you are using QuickTime.

If it has this logo before showing the video, you are using QuickTime:
