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."

So did the I-Tunes Kill My Burner As Well?

[gadlaw]

Just wondering, all of a sudden my DVD/CD burner makes coasters for me and there isn't anything different on my computer. I've refused I-Tunes desires to update for a month or so but maybe it slipped something in to screw with my other apps as well? This is not cool.

Jesus.

Yes, by saying "It just works" that means that "it just works no matter what bugs may be introduced into software, or if your hard drive crashes, or if in fact your computer is the victim of a suicide bomber."

Don't be so fucking literal. You look like a dick.
