Apple Updates Quicktime to 7.4.1

Does this fix AE CS3 issues

Has anyone tested if this fixed the .mp4 error issues that people had when rendering in AE CS3? I don't want to upgrade till I know for sure that's been fixed. I haven't had a chance to test yet.
 
What's with these endless tens of megabyte updates for QT? I never see any difference in quicktime performance, and it still doesn't run full-screen without paying for pro, cynical software-crippling.

Compare this to VLC which plays almost anything, and has few, small-ish updates. They should embed it in safari as standard. One of the few apple apps that still bugs me for some reason.

Hmm, just read the posts saying it does some of the core graphics routines. Is that true? I thought it was handled by the Quartz libraries (core image and video) basically a high level way of accessing OpenGL.

On the plus side, at least they aren't doing it just to break our ability to use custom ringtones on the iPhone anymore. :cool: :p
 
Holy Crapola

I just installed the update for QT and yesterday's iPhoto, and on rebooting I am in the Setup Assistant reboot loop, grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Trying to boot into Safe Mode so I can safely shutdown and reboot (This was necessary when I once tried installing GlowWormFW on Leopard, and I hear it has resolved others previous Leopard Setup Assistant loop problems).

Unfortunately, in Safe Mode, I still have the Setup Assistant screen just with a nice Leopard desktop background, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am hoping I don't have to wimp out and just restore from TM, but thank God I have this old PC still around.

Viva WinMe!

I <3 :apple: :(

That's assuming apple HAS to update apps for the new OS, we don't know that's the case.

Yes, but I was replying to 19 year old John who thought that it was cool that Apple was having to fix so much stuff - he took that to mean that 10.5.2 would have lots of good stuff.

If an update or new version breaks existing software, it means bad engineering.

1. Either "bad engineering" because the update was poorly designed and tested, and caused problems when released

2. Or "bad engineering" because the old version had problems that weren't fixable without breaking stuff - and a conscious decision was made that breaking some stuff to fix the rest was the right thing to do

QT hasn't needed Pro mode to access Full Screen for approximately the last 2 versions...Apple did change this!

QTKit does access the core graphics, core video and core animation frameworks.

I'd wait. I just installed it and that problem with playing mp4s (which has happened ever since version 7.4) hasn't been fixed yet. So I've got to use Pacifist again to uninstall it again...

Maybe QT's greatness is that it allows for such things as perian and flip4mac. This is, it provides plugin, extensible support for media playback integrated within the OS X environment.

more than can be said about Windows Media Player or whatever they're calling it these days.

I think you couldn't be more wrong. It is not great because it allows for those two awkward plugins/ plugin sets.
Well, there are tons of plugins for directx in windows anyone can easily find and install. All directx plugins work with any media player installed on the system. Not to mention subtitles were never a problem in windows.

Perian is a relatively new solution and it is not as complete as those on windows.
 
Hiccup after update.

Purchased videos wouldn't sync after the update with my iPhone. Tried to deauthorize and authorize, each time I try either I get this:

can someone confirm the front-row subtitle issue is not fixed with these latest updates? I have installed the latest QT and Perian 1.1 but still no subtitles in Front Row. As soon as subtitles kick in, the screen goes black.

But that assumes that 10.5.2 will break existing software...do we know that's the case?

Well when you BUY the studio you are paying for that too. Are you saying you can just hack it to pro or what?

People pirate any app they can...you don't think that happens with QT pro?
 
Doesn't Fix QT Web Ads

For me, this still doesn't fix the problem of viewing the Macbook Air ad on Apple's website which 7.4 broke.
