AN.ONYMOUS  I HATE this app.

- It is incredibly slow (both for loading films and exporting them) and it had better be called SLOWTime

- It cannot edit .wmv movies without paying an extra for Flip4Mac (even when the pro QT has been bought)

- It can no longer be chosen as the default app for opening .mov films. It = s now a Ugly QT 10 (why TEN ?!) which imposes itself at each time (there's NO WAY to get read of this QT10 reader's priority. Congratulation to Apple for its user friendliness and system's customizability

Indeed, the last good version of QT was 6.5.2 (unusable on intel). It provided quickly some very useful functions like removing at once the video or the audio track. Now, with QT7, one as to export the whole movie just to remove a track.

QT7 is so clumsy and limited - even in its paying "PRO" version - that it is no surprise Apple does not install it automatically on the new Macs. One is clearly pushed to buy Final Cut.

MISHA  Because you're running 10.6 and chose to install QuickTime 7, also. So now your Mac has QuickTime X and QuickTime 7.

AN.ONYMOUS  Because ugly and invasive QT X player is based on QT7. Otherwie, it seems that Mac would have simply removed QT7 from the machines, thus leaving them WITHOUT A DECENT AND AFFORDABLE movie editor.

What I find untolerable is that ANY movie reader can be assigned for opening .mov films except QT7. In other words Apple does not want QT7 to compete with the lousy QT X.

SOLO68  The help file is broken/missing. When I click a link inside the QuickTime Help window it does not navigate. And when I search a topic it does find results, but when I click on a result it does not navigate.

I called Apple Care and was elevated to a so-called specialist who was clueless. Is anyone else having a problem with getting the help file to work?

ESPIRIDION  It's sad that QuickTime is called "The multimedia cornerstone of Mac OS X."

It is a terrible application. For years I've had to rely on alternative programs to play different media, and as of version 7.6.4 this is still the case.

Fortunately there's VLC, MPlayer, Perian, WMV Player, etc. QuickTime is not good enough on its own, and the lack of upgrade path for Pro users adds insult to injury.

PETTIFOGGER  Does anyone have the direct download links for the Tiger and Leopard versions of QT 7.6.4? I have to download the DMG files via a Windows machine but the Apple Quicktime download page repeatedly sends me to the Windows download page? :-(

KOBALT  Okay, so not for Snow Leopard.

Note: QuickTime 7.6.4 is for computers using Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.8, Windows XP SP2 or later, or Windows Vista

ILGAZ  I would suggest reading macupdate about new apple updates but sticking with "software update" control panel (check for updates) until this snow leopard dust settles down.

That is what will I do with the 2 snow leopard installed macs at this house, at least until I figure what is the position of Quicktime X (framework?application?) like core system parts. Will be a bit waste of bandwidth of course but it seems as only solution. Snow Leopard as it has "pure 64bit" has some special needs like that especially for deep level frameworks like quicktime and itunes (which has dev. drivers).

JSH  My Snow Leopard install has Quicktime Player 7.6.3. Do I update this one to 7.6.4 even though it's not Leopard now?

ILGAZ  If you needed the update, it would appear in software update (run from Apple menu). I think Apple is holding the 7.6.x update for a reason and I don't think they forgot their own new OS. If you run SL "activity monitor", you will see 90% of processes are 64bit, especially Apple ones. The version advertised here is 32bit.

As I said, stick with software update if in doubt.

HOLYPOLY  Version 7.1.4 adds support for iTunes 9. However, it won't show up as an available update in SL, and the standalone installer refuses to run under Snow Leopard, as QT 10 is already installed (which is true).

Dig into the .mpg package using "Show Package Content", expanding the Archive.pax.gz file. A new folder labelled "Archive" will show up on the Desktop. Open it, locate the "Applications" folder inside, which contains the Quicktime Player application.

Runs fine here under 10.6.1 .

POETRY  Mono Audio files still don't play.

This has been the case with every version of Quicktime 7.

Any ideas out there?
