QTL files hold information about the media content that needs to be played plus recommended dimensions, accessibility features, control features etc. [Note: QTL files can be exploited to feed malware directly to a user on either a Windows or Macintosh computer. This vulnerability was not patched as of Dec 2006 but is in later versions.]
