Patti, try VLC for a nice free video player, that has a lot of good features. Both Michael and I use it, and really I don’t miss the others I had for playing mp4. dvds, flv, mov, etc. You can find it here

Thats a shame. Its nice to be able to just stream directly to apple tv from quicktime. Since I upgraded my PC with SSD, its been flying like a brand new computer and my video source.
