QuickTime Player

Quick time player keeps truncating my recordings? I will do a screen recording with audio and only a fraction is recorded OR a portion is truncated from the middle of the recording? Does anyone else have this issue? What are some alternatives to Quicktime for Mac that are easy to use. I want to record my screen and have my picture in the corner to discuss what's on screen. Help Please!

great!

I can not understand why people rate this software so bad. Even if it is not supported for 64 bit applications, it is still working for 32 bit applications (i.e. on Mavericks). Together with the two QuickTime extensions Flip4Mac (WMV) and Perian (AVI, DivX, MKV and others) it can read / play all common video formats. Everybody know the videos which play video and audio un-synchronized - this will only happen if QuickTime is not used.

It looks as if this app is no longer being developed. A pity, for it was quite acceptable 4 years ago... Its most striking proof of neglect is the disrespect of Apple GUI code (eg the green dot in the window bar for enlarging the view does not even work). A stain on Apple's image.

I don't think Apple is ever going to fix the broken Software Update in Leopard. iTunes will get updated to the very latest version, but Quicktime? Nope. It'll remain at sub-7.5.5 levels, which means you have to manually run out and get it because iTunes WON'T WORK without it! What the heck Apple? This has been a problem for months! Anyone doing a clean install of Leopard could be in for a rather rude awakening, especially if they don't know enough to go hunting for QT 7.7.

Apple is a greedy company...they freaken charge you for using their QT Pro feature..i mean come on...it should be standard....after all the money i spend on their hardware products.The program suck really bad...everytime i try to play movie in other format..they ask me to install plug in which cost even more.... Anyways...VLC all the way...

On a clean installed Lion system, I did something (that I can't recall) with a video file that triggered being prompted to install QuickTime Player 7 (similar to what happens with Java). Is that familiar to anyone and do you know what can cause it? Thanks.

Sure am glad that I kept QuickTime Player 7.6.6 on my new MacBook Pro with equally new Apple external display. QTPlayer 7.6.6 lets me do what QT Player 10.1 will not: play movies on my secondary screen. Incredible blunder on the part of Apple devs to create a QT Player that will NOT play movies on a secondary screen. Gee, thanks guys!

I think I am not alone in wondering what I get for my money and what exactly the difference is between QuickTime Pro and QuickTime Player 10. I am on Snow Leopard and the principle 2 things I want to do is trim movies accurately and to capture tutorials form the web to view offline. It would be nice if I could also create tutorials, combining text and video but that is not the main reason for upgrading. QT Pro is not cheap and I really would like to know it it will work not just in SL but Lion in the future. Any advice?

Info from the Apple website: QuickTime 7.7 improves security and is recommended for all Mac OS X Leopard users. System Requirements: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.8

The installer for OS 10.7 Lion no longer offers an optional QuickTime 7 installation. So I crossed my fingers and downloaded this, but the QT 7.7 installer wouldn't allow it to install in Lion, and the .mpkg installer won't even allow looking int3o it. Does anyone know another way to install a version of QT that will work in Lion — and where to find it?

Turns out it's a problem with QT in Safari, works fine with any Firefox and others.??

ECHO For years Quicktime just worked so well that you never knew it was there.Suddenly there is an echo every time I try to watch anything on line. I have reinstalled the newest QT 7 for 10.6.7 and it seems to solve the problem then..... echo echo

We need AirPlay in the QuickTime Player!

Used by itself, Quicktime can be a useful set of media tools; after being upgraded to its Pro version, one can edit and convert - a fairly good investment. It wasn't designed to have the same precise control of other standalone software; and its editing controls are imprecise at best. Perhaps the main flaw comes from the fact that VLCPlayer offers a more comprehensive playback package - for free.

My Software Update told me yesterday that there was new Quicktime software available... So I let it install. It says it's 7.6.9. I'm confused. I'm on a G5 OS X 10.5.8.

Nothing serious but I was a little confused seeing the QuickTime X icon for QuickTime 7.6.6.

There is still a 7.6.6 Version for Leopard. And: Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires: A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor 512 MB memory or more A DVD drive for installation 9 GB of available disk space or more Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply. Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

No more Quicktime for us G5 folks, I guess. I'm curious if anyone knows how many working Mac computers out there are still PPC? What's the percentage difference between PPCs and Intels? Are there that many more Intels in use, so that Apple has dropped support for their computers only 5 years old?
