Back to the OP's orig question for a second - and someone please correct me if I misunderstood when the news dropped - but the vulnerabilities with quicktime were all inherent to the Player, not the underlying codecs? You can uninstall the player while still leaving the codecs. I think apple's install screen labels them "essentials" if memory serves. Leave those, uncheck everything else.
You should still be able to create quicktimes and work with the codecs as before in all apps, you just need to shop for a new viewer to replace the player. I think a lot of the newsfeeds were overdramatic and jumped to the conclusion that "quicktime is dead on windows" when really, "quicktime *player* is dead on windows" would be more accurate? In any event, I find it all very strange and can't wait for Mox to swoop in and take this area of DCC over.
