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.

    Does this mean I need to buy another key to get Quicktime 6 to work even if I already bought one for 5?

    Great, another proprietary version of another proprietary set of codecs. What the hell is Apple thinking? Proprietary standards are no way to increase control of a market dominated by M$. If they would base QuickTime entirely on open standards, they might just have a chance at doing their part in weening people away from their competitors. Oh wait a minute. Linux is one of their competitors. Nevermind. (Or they could what's right and become a hardware ONLY company--seeing as how that's the only thing they're really good at.) But that would actually make sense.
