NOT cool - not to mention a great way to get yourself kick off of this forum. If you need software to carry out a certain task PAY for it. Sure, Apple is a big company and it's easy to distance yourself from their developers. Still, these are people who make their livings off of developing software you use to execute certain tasks. Pony up the cash and pay for it. If you make money using it even better - it pays for itself.
No need to be a cheap ba$t@rd and pirate software. Quicktime Pro is cheap - buy it.
