Most of them have to do with methods to make a media file crash quicktime and allow for arbitrary code execution.
Got a tip for us?

Shazzam! That was what I primarily used VLC for in the past. Still has it's uses, but it may just go into semi-retirement.
*Support for fullscreen
About time. I guess Apple decided they actually wanted people to use their player.
Same except VLC is still much better at playing DVDs than Apple dvd player.. and some codecs don't run well on Quicktime. VLC is nice and don't have to install any codecs to play xvid, divx, etc.

Numerous bug fixes in QuickTime, eh? I don't suppose this actually fixes the problems I've had exporting certain movies to H.264. With a couple of movies I made, QuickTime always aborted with an error after some time into the export process. It worked if I kept the movie resolution the same as the source, but any time I tried to export to a smaller resolution, it bombed out. Other movies never had any trouble.
I was going to send in a bug report whenever I got the chance to isolate it to a small enough file to send to Apple. Guess I'll go see if this addresses the problem (not holding my breath)...

another ++ for this one, stopped using Quicktime back in the day when i found a full-screen player. Sadly, it's probably too little too late for apple, this should be included in any decent video player from day 0.
And they probably still didn't get a quarter of the bugs in Quicktime that causes it to crash.
but still, progress is good.
Yes, we need guinea pigs -- because I sure as hell am not going through that mess again.
But wait... only professionals need to watch video at large sizes!
2" is good enough for the masses
I thought it was the lack of sleep... I've been up for 27 hours and when I saw "Quicktime Fullscreen Support" I passed over it like it was just something normal or something... until I opened Software Update and reread that line again.
Really though, this shouldn't be news because it was long overdue.

It's great to see Apple finally making the QuickTime fullscreen feature standard. It was stupid that you had to view a QT video in Front Row or iTunes just to view it fullscreen without the Pro version of QuickTime Player.
I'm glad to see full screen in QT, although it probably won't replace VLC as my default player. QT is just such a resource hog! ARGH
Hoera for apple
FINALLY FULL SCREEN
We had to wait for this for ages it looked... but finally it's there. Finally someone at Apple thinking: why put this in pro and tease everybody... FINALLY!
THANK YOU!
(so... still 99 items of my wish list to be done; like allowing to possibility to 'cut' in finder, just in any other file-manager).

anyone notice that the full screen controls in QT 7.2 are very similar to those of iTunes? can we say system uniformity?
It works. Now for the ceremonial dragging of the loyal but obsolete Quicktime Fullscreen.app AppleScript Application. Sebastian
I am sick of every time there is an update we have to reboot. It is getting to the point of Windows.
It's only because of the Quicktime update, since Quicktime is used at a core level.
Ooo, these updates also FINALLY take out the blurriness in the Cover Flow controls on my BlackBook!
Its always been like that....since the on screen controls were introduced. Both QT and iTunes got them (on screen controls) IIRC
Movie exporting in quicktime adds iPhone and iPhone (Cellular) support.
Extensions:
iPhone = .m4v
iPhone (Cellular) = .3gp
The "options" button remains grayed out.
