Apple QuickTime DRM Disables Video Editing Apps

An anonymous reader writes "According to numerous posts on Apple's discussion forums (several threads of which have been deleted by Apple), as well as a number of popular video editing blogs, Apple's recent QT 7.4 update does more than just enable iTunes video rentals — it also disables Adobe's professional After Effects video editing software. Attempting to render video files after the update results in a DRM permissions error. Unfortunately, it is not possible to roll back to a previous version of QT without doing a full OSX reinstall. Previous QT updates have also been known to have severe issues with pro video editing apps."

    I have a problem new to me, you know, the burner refuses to work any longer. Put an external Plextor drive on and it works but the regular installed DVD burner doesn't work any longer. This story has to do with installing an app and it breaking other apps. Seems similar to my mind. I love my Apple stuff, I Tunes is great for organizing music and I especially like the organization of podcasts and online radio stations. Great stuff but the article talks about Apple having installed an update that breaks other things, - I have another thing that is recently broken - so I ask a question and perhaps someelse has an insight or knowledge that I don't have - so whoever said I'm a troll - Go F yourself.
