Quicktime 6.1

[encro]

Short form real answer:

3GPP technology is included.

QuickTime is still written in Carbon (yawn, what does it really matter anyway. It only makes a difference to the applications programmer and does not directly impact on your use of the app). The 3 color traffic lights give it away without even asking the question.

Yes, it is definately faster and more robust. enjoy it. Yes, it has a custom interface. No it does not use .nibs. Yes it uses a resource fork.

i can't wait to get home and try this...

does anyone know if they fixed the bug that cut off subtitle text tracks due to a file size limitation?

to me it was a major flaw...the only fix was to cut up your subtitles into several smaller files, and then its a pain to sync the whole thing...

also, if i understand, i can resave some of my huge 3ivx files with aac instead of mp3? does it make it considerably smaller? i have a few movies that are just a tad to large to fit on a single cd...

thanks for any info ^_^

Anyone in the UK managed to download this. My software update comes up with an unexpected error! Too bloody right it was unexpected!!!

I downloaded it OK, but I have a 1megabit NTL cable modem. Also the Internet in my area (East London) was down for sometime today.

 

[James.Paul]

I'm NTL broadband as well! Seems i'm having problems on my system. Disk Copy, Safari and X11 have all gone belly up!

- DV includes significant encode and decode performance improvements.

Anybody's tried DV encoding speed yet? I'm very curious how much "significant" improvement does it deliver.

Quicktime 6.1 has killed Black & White. How can I revert to an older version?

6.1 goes full screen faster because it no longer changes the resolution, it also probably uses some more OSX-savvy code or something. I wounder why it's still in Carbon, IMO the code is all in the video playback, and that thing has been written in cocoa (Finder, web browser plug-in, core QuickTime layer). All Apple needs is to slap their rescource fork interface over it, right? Ah whatever.

Every version of QT 6 I've installed under OS 9 has been the most unstable, crash prone, slow, buggy, M$ quality, P.O.S. software I've ever used with my mac!

I was excited to see a lot of the problems I have with it are solved in the update, shame it's OS X only. Maybe apple like to show off how much more stable OS X is by having one of their key software technologies screw up in their older operating system while supporting everyone with enough money to keep buying a new mac every year or 2 so they've got the hardware to handle OS X.

chapters in QT 6.1

hey, i noticed this today... tried a quick search and couldnt find any other forums with things on it... but with quicktime and the new feature in imovie 3 and iDVD three to make chapters, it looks like you can go thru the chapters in quicktime...
