- auxplage, on 10/11/2007, -5/+236It is pitiful that it took Apple this long to allow full screen in QT for free (excluding the various workarounds).
- VMark, on 10/11/2007, -26/+191Here's an update for Quicktime: VLC.
- awhiteflame, on 10/11/2007, -2/+118Or the fact that this should have been enabled by default since day one.
Edit: and possible to get around anyway with AppleScript - insomniac8400, on 10/11/2007, -12/+123Apple, welcome to 1993.
- andrewcod, on 10/11/2007, -2/+94True, it was inevitable. But really, it should have been enabled long, long ago. Full screen viewing is hardly a feature anyone should have to pay for.
- Portwineboy, on 10/11/2007, -9/+83They still putting that crap icon in my system tray?
- pygmalion, on 10/11/2007, -1/+62Please tell me you didn't purchase it for fullscreen playback alone...
- LeeSoong, on 10/11/2007, -6/+59EATS 2 MB out of your RAM - even when idle.
What is QuickTime for windows spying on anyway?
QuickTime System Icon Sucks.
I'M IN YUR SYSTEM TRAY SUCKZIN YOUR RAMZ - kevnaca, on 10/11/2007, -10/+62Free full screen, sweeeeet! This comes form quickview in Leopard being able to full screen vids so it was inevitable.
- simplenation, on 10/11/2007, -7/+45damn i just purchased quicktime pro last night
- Firehed, on 10/11/2007, -5/+40VLC is hideously unstable on the Mac (or, mine anyways), even if it's considerably more full-featured, and free to boot. I have to treat it as a supplement rather than a replacement, especially with codec packs like Perian.
- Crumbeast, on 10/11/2007, -4/+33quicktime isn't a codec, and h.264 isn't proprietary to apple.
- aldenhg, on 10/11/2007, -10/+37And on Windows it's only a registry key away. That's what I love about Apple - they implement things in a breakable way knowing that most people won't bother and it won't hurt their sales. Their products don't even have serial numbers, for God's sake.
- iheartcrack, on 10/11/2007, -22/+45...just like Microsoft.
- thunderer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22Well, their pro applications are more protected. Final Cut requires a serial and will check on launch to see if there are any copies running on the network using the same serial.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -11/+33Still no bug fixes for iTunes/iPhone on Windows. It almost seems like Apple likes making horrible software for Windows.
- edstate, on 10/11/2007, -6/+28Broader AVI support, please?
- kelly, on 10/11/2007, -6/+26Maybe this will shut the people up who think Quicktime Pro's only feature is full screen playback.
- postitnote, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19Quicktime has serial number to upgrade to pro.
- jackwaters, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21There is now an export to iPhone option....
- championchap, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18VLC, end of.
- Burn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17About. Freaking. Time.
- bluechips23, on 10/11/2007, -10/+25You probably referring to Microsoft's Windows Updates, right?
- coollettuce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15*looks at icon*
- Zenex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14I'm the first person to admit when I'm wrong, so I double checked.

Upgrading from Quicktime Pro 6 to Quicktime Pro 7 does in fact cost $30. The upgrade also happens automatically through Software Update, and it removes your Pro functionality until you pay again (or find some hack to downgrade). If you've accidently upgraded to iTunes 7, you're doubly screwed, because that requires Quicktime 7, so you have to find a way to downgrade that, or fork over the $30 again.
Ultimately, I would have paid $60+ for the ability to watch my videos with my entire screen (which, coincidentally, I've already paid Apple over $2000 for). I've never once used a single other Quicktime Pro feature, so that kind of money for that is just silly. - squled, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Which can be found on any demo machine in the Apple store.
- jhaks, on 10/11/2007, -2/+152MB is quite a lot actually for something that is idle that should be doing nothing at all. And even if you hide the icon the quicktime process is still there. Not to mention I hate how Apple overrides all file association without consenting during installation.
- fofusion, on 10/11/2007, -6/+19Burn
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15patch tuesday is not weekly. it's monthly
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Or, I want something that every other video software I've ever seen can do free and now. That's a little more reasonable.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12If you have a Mac running 10.4.7+, Perian adds QuickTime support for mkv, along with many other formats, at least as of the fairly recently released 1.0.
- sych0, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14It's pathetically unstable for me as well. I use it for one thing and one thing only these days, and thats mkv files
- gotamd, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Does Quicktime work well with Vista yet? I've been using Quicktime Alternative, but I prefer the real thing.
- kelly, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Quicktime already has broad AVI support.
Remember... Quicktime is a container format... not a codec. - fxspec06, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Still waiting for Quicktime playlists.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Because Quicktime if part of the underpining of the system, Quicktime player is just a player. Everything pictures sound and video go by Quicktime.
- pmhn, on 10/11/2007, -7/+17Why do I have to reboot every time I update the _video player_? Sorry for nagging, but that's just stupid.
- akinnee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10it's a watermark in the center of the screen =P
- pygmalion, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10AVI or DivX/XVid codecs ? AVI has been supported in Quicktime for over a decade now.
- ahill7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10The main thing I noticed with the 7.3 upgrade is that the "Apple Software Updater" is now no longer an optional component. Before it would ask if you wanted to install it to keep you automatically updated, now its forced :(
- kodek, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11That's a big accusation that he didn't pay for the software. If he had pirated it, he would know that Quicktime requires a serial number. Please refrain from attacking people when you're trying to refute an argument.
- akinnee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11QT Pro is amazing for video encoding.
- neonenergy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11To answer your question, things reach the front page because people digg them up and not many people bury them.
They go up if people deem them popular. - HolyChimp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9MSconfig to the rescue :D
- dlsspy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9QuickTime is not the video player, it's the media framework widely used for processing video, audio, and images (at least on OS X).
You may notice that the download is significantly larger than your uncompressed Quicktime Player binary. - kejistan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I'm pretty sure the annoyance stems from the fact that _every_ Quicktime update you install causes it to magically turn back on.
- bradleyland, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Is it just me or is it cold in here?
- Satan - mightycbu, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12...well, a monkey can wear a golden ring, but it's still a monkey
- piwy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I think perian has that covered now too. I might be mistaken tho.
- encrypter, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11Will this version of Quicktime solve the Vista/Firefox/Quicktime/AdblockPlus issue?
