QuickTime 6 Is Out

Posted by pudge on from the now-i-want-ac3-support-darnit dept.

flamingnight writes "If you go to Apple's QuickTime page, you'll notice that QuickTime 6 has been released. No mention of QT 5 anywhere on the site. Features include the long-awaited MPEG-4 support, 50+ input/output formats, and plenty of A/V codecs and video effects (see Apple - QuickTime - Specifications for a full list)." It's available for Mac OS 8/9, Mac OS X 10.1.3+, and Windows 98/2000/NT/Me/XP (does anyone actually use Windows Me?). Just remember that your QuickTime 5 key won't work with QuickTime 6.

    Crossover plugin seems to still be downloading QT5 installer. Has anyone got QT6 running under crossover?

    Still no Vorbis support listed in the codecs section!

    Would it have been SOOOOO hard to build in a Vorbis decoder from xiph.org's BSD-licensed reference decorder? HUH? WOULD IT?

    *sigh*... Oh, well. Perhaps some day they'll give in and build in Vorbis support.

    Any Mac-aware types care to guess on if/when this'll happen?

    Three simple letters. That's all I wanted. How long must us iTunes whores be slaves to the mp3 format? Maybe the next iTunes release will support it, but I figure that if it's not in QT, it's not gonna be in iTunes.

  6. FCP users & QT6 by AnamanFan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone out there have Final Cut Pro and installed QT6 (without getting a new key)?

    I would like to be able to use the free parts of QT6 (Downloading trailers for one), but still be able to use FCP at full QT5Pro strength. If anyone out there has already done this, please post your experience. Thanks in advance!
