Quicktime update (to version 7!)

We all know that Quicktime 7 is a new feature of Tiger. But I'm pretty sure Panther users can use it too, and since Tiger is out now, so is Quicktime 7! The download can be reached through Software Update, and it's 26.6 MB. The software DOES require a restart after it has been installed. But, let me just double-check. My computer is running on 10.3.9. Quicktime 7 will work on it, right? It doesn't need 10.4, does it?


Also, in addition to the Quicktime update, the Apple software "Remote Desktop" has been upgraded to version 2.2. The download is 31.7 MB. I'm guessing very, very few people on this board even have the program, though....

i just downloaded it and it runs like a dreammm.... **** nice

Quicktime 7 is part of Tiger... so yes, the upgrade you can download is for Panther (10.3) and no, you don't need Tiger.

Software Update will only show updates that are related to your OS version. If it's un upgrade for Tiger, you won't even see it.

Well, I got Quicktime 7, and let me tell ya--you can do very little in this version without getting Quicktim Pro! Let me list the commands in the menu bar that you can and can't do in Quicktime 7 without getting Quicktime Pro:

Cool, Quicktime 7 is going to be skinable, but of course the default skin looks just as nice.

quicktime 7, i was expecting nice smooth playback with new features, going from qt 6 pro to non pro qt 7 is terrible, on my ibook it is really slow, and the realtime resizing is terrrible for my poor ibook

ibook 1.2 ghz 768 mb of ram

i had to reinstall 6.5.2
i am happy with the old version, couldnt see much change on qt 7 anywaz.. i hated the resizing, almost as fast as windows playing a dvd

Hey, I had the samething happen to me. Playback on my iBook with 640MB is just terrible with the H.264. It's like I'm watching a video slideshow, when watching the video in their new HD Gallery. I sure hope they fix this soon, because I would like show off my features to the Winderz people soon, when I do get Tiger. :spook:

I suggest you take a look at the system requirements

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/recommendations.html

Ah, yes! That make sense now. My iMac G5 handles it pretty well, but it's not a pretty sight, when you want to do the cool resizing feature with the H.264.

its amazing how qt should take more requirements, this is disappointing to hear

Its not quicktime that has the requirements its the HD video using H.264

if i get QT7PRO and later get Tiger, what will happen upon re-install of Tiger, will I lose PRO?????

As long as you have your registration number you don't have to worry about that
