You know, I really find it annoying how I'm supposed to re-purchase a new QT Pro key every time they release updates.
I know, I know, you have to pay for major upgrades for any software package, but ... this really should have come with Tiger.

Downloaded and installed, now going to ifilm.com to see if my problems have been fixed. Also, I see that when I clicked on a movie trailer in the content browser that came up when I restarted, The Davinci Code was the movie, it opened iTunes to see the trailer. Then when I clicked on Large, it took up the whole screen, with play, exit button, banner bar and the full screen qt movie. Hmmmmm. and my ifilm.com problems not solved. Still a Q with a white ? mark.

it is really stupid that they would have such a policy, don't many other companies offer free updates? i know for limewire pro its like 3 free updates or something like that

Well, you most likely have more than three free updates on QuickTime too.
But, I still think you should get the pro license when purchasing Tiger since Panther users can have the same app too. That's a bit unfair in my point of view.
There goes my 20 day uptime 
I find it horrible that I'm still getting "Q"s with question marks. What's the point of having an iFilms widget if Quicktime doesn't work with it.

I think the better thing to have done would have been to enable the features which can be easily and legally hacked - like full screen mode (hackable via AppleScript) - standard and make the Pro version really just those features useful mainly to the prosumer market.notjustjay said:

Of course this statement totally disregards the fact that it has been almost three years since QT 6 was released (and you didn't have to repurchase an QT Pro update between the initial 6.0 release up to the most recent 6.5.2 update).
Also, while there are a bunch of companies who do free updates, there are also a bunch that don't: Microsoft, Adobe, Avid, Symantec, Intuit and Apple (of course).
Yes, there are upgrade paths for programs like FCP, Office and Photoshop, but $29 isn't too much for an upgrade.
Just because Apple (or anyone else) may be able to give software (updates) away for free doesn't mean they have to.

this is actually a bug with the Divx plug-in.. if you remove that, the second help menu goes away. there are actually a couple other bugs that Divx causes.. problems with minimizing quicktime movies, as well as the curser not hiding in some full-screen games.
currently i'm using MPlayer for Divx content until an updated Quicktime plug-in is released.

Just to clarify, the update from QuickTime 7.0 to QuickTime 7.0.1 does not affect QuickTime Pro, but updating from QuickTime 6.0 or earlier to QuickTime 7.0 or later does disable the QuickTime Pro features until/unless you buy a new QuickTime Pro key.notjustjay said:

Problem is, QTPro doesn't have any "upgrade" pricing. You get QTPro for 29$US, and that's it. If you want to upgrade later on, it's still 29$US. There's no "upgrade price" like 9.99$ or even 19.99$.
Sure, 29$US isn't expensive for what QTPro can do, but I still believe the regular QT should at LEAST have the "full-screen" option. It's completely stupid to make regular folks pay 29$US to play movies in full-screen.
(FYI: I paid my QTPro license for the export options, not the full-screen playback capability.)

exactly, how do they expect h.264 to take off if they haven't even released quicktime for windows?
it's kinda nuts imho. i'm sure it's not that difficult to do. something tells me they're being difficult on purpose.
This is getting silly now... I was hoping the this update would fix the question mark problem I was having with IGN QuickTime movies, but no such luck. Maybe things will be better with QuickTime 7.0.2?
guys i had quicktime pro 7 and i did the update today and it was free. i didnt have to pay anything else for the update to 7.1

Have you not thought of the fact that Quicktime is a big piece of software,and they can't just wave a magic wand and make a windows version appear. For QT7 on OS X they rewrote Quicktime player in cocoa, using QtKit. I believe they also rewrote the quicktime api to simplify it for developers and make it work in a more cocoa way. last time I checked cocoa doesn't exist on Windows, so the port to windows is not just a simple recompile.
