Here's hoping it'll improve my exporting with QuickTime..

RealEvil · Sep 9, 2008, 02:53 PM

Yeah or improve my mac's ability to play recording I make with a Sanyo HD1010... :-( I can record 1080p60 h264 but I cannot play it!

There's a huge update inside this.

Like I said before.

Surround Sound..

Front Row has been updated as well to 2.1.6.

This Front Row update provides improved iTunes 8.0 compatibility and bug fixes.

That's what I was wondering about. We can do Dolby Digital now? I know you could before with Perian, but the last Quicktime update broke it. Do the new HD TV shows have surround sound?

I believe it's a new codec by Apple. AAC 5.1

AAC 5.1 has been around for a while. If Front Row/Quicktime has the ability to transcode to DD5.1 on the fly, that would be great. We'll see...

Try installing Perian or using VLC.

The would be very, very nice and put me a step closer to considering Apple TV. 1080p would help, too, but that's a different story.

QuickTime 7.4.5 broke the passthrough for Perian. Here's to hoping that it's been resolved.

Really? How so? Please tell..

Cave Man · Sep 9, 2008, 03:42 PM

What's particularly pathetic about Quicktime is that there are freeware apps that smoke it in both video codecs and audio passthrough. For example, Plex not only decodes decrypted Blu-Ray (yes, even on a Mini), but it can also passthrough DD, True-HD, DTS and DTS-HD through the optical port. Quicktime has trouble doing any of this. Let's hope that Apple has fixed this embarrassing omission in QT, and its home theater surrogate, Front Row.

AAC 5.1 into AC3 on the fly? Otherwise, what's the point... I'd have to have a receiver that understood another digital standard.

Amdahl · Sep 9, 2008, 05:06 PM

Guess the money ran out, since iTunes & QuickTime are no longer supported on 10.3.

How long until 10.4 is toast?

got it installed, now just waiting on itunes to download

Solfeggio4 · Sep 9, 2008, 07:26 PM

Does anyone know if this FINALLY fixes the HD choppy playback that those of us with PowerPCs have been dealing with since 7.0 came out?

Cadium · Sep 9, 2008, 07:56 PM

Installed on my MacBook Pro without any issues, high-definition videos play smooth as butter again!

MartiNZ · Sep 9, 2008, 10:25 PM

Well after testing the same things I've tested after every revision of QuickTime 7, and given feedback on at least a few times ... minimised movies still don't get an icon badge in the dock, and the export dialog still doesn't remember position preference. Nevermind.

geeman · Sep 10, 2008, 01:41 AM

Can anyone with After Effects confirm that this update doesn't cripple AE - as was the case when QT 7.4 was released?

DaveTheGrey · Sep 10, 2008, 02:34 AM

QT runs really smooth now!
