Get the best out of QuickTime 7

With QuickTime Pro, it gives you greater access when you go through the quicktime movies website. Once I purchased the key, I went straight to the quicktime movies website where you can preview films and games.And once you've watch the movie or game preview, you can save it as a quicktime movie and you can watch again with having to go online.Once you've got the key just click on system preferences in the dock then click on quicktime icon make sure the register tab is selected.Type your name and key in, and your away!

QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

NOT the be all and end all for file conversions

Written by JG from Glasgow

25-Nov-2005

I wish I knew the limitations of QuickTime Pro before I paid for it. I bought it to enable conversion of my many MPEG movie files to a format that can be played back on my iPod.

The problem being that QuickTime Pro can playback MPEG files that it can’t export properly. A lot of MPEG files are 'Multi-Plexed' (the sound and video tracks are weaved together). When QuickTime Pro exports these Multi-Plexed files it tells you that there is "No audio track in source movie" and the resulting file plays back with no sound, even though it plays the original file with sound.

Another big problem is that QuickTime Pro is very choosy as to what files you can cut and paste with. To my annoyance, you have to perform time-consuming conversions before being able to cut and paste.

For me QuickTime Pro is utterly useless, I just hope Apple will resolve these issues in a future update.

Quick, easy and simple

Quicktime Pro is easy to install, just go into the quicktime menu (inside the application) and click 'Register'. Simple!
The conversions work just as you would expect, and the full screen viewing is pretty cool as well.

Buyer beware..

Don't by Quicktime Pro unless you really need it in the near future, because every time Apple issue a new free upgrade to Quicktime (eg from Quicktime 6 to 7) your Pro purchase will be invalidated, and you'll have to buy it again. Even if you've only had it a short time.

Hopeless

Bought i-pod.Movies would not download so I bought QuickTime Pro which I thought would solve the issue.
It didn`t so I have wasted money on totally useless software which does not work.
Has anyone out there EVER managed to contact a human who might be of help in solving any issues with i-pod or whatever or does Apple get away with selling a product and having no support whatsoever when you cant get it to work.
Best advice is DO NOT GET CONNED>DONT BUY IT

It's easy. Go into system preferences>quicktime.

HOW EASY CAN IT BE?

Good product, shame about encoding speed

Written by BH from Frome

08-Jan-2006

I have a 1.33 GHz Powerbook and can confirm that encoding speed for ipod video is very slow with Quicktime Pro. However, it does produce good results, noticeably better than, for instance Videora iPod Converter (for windows), and any kind of video encoding will always involve long waits. I would be interested to compare times with a G5 system.

If ripping DVDs for ipod is your thang, then I strongly recommend the freeware utility Handbrake, which can do this in a single step, is relatively straightforward to use, and is I think faster than QT due to using a different encoding engine. I am actually using it right now and it is averaging 14 fps which is an order of magnitude faster than quicktime!

The short and blunt: Quicktime Pro does what it says on the tin with aplomb, I could not do without it, but be prepared to leave your computer for a long time for large encodes.

To those who post negative reviews just through not being able to use it, I suggest a little perseverance might pay off and recommend other users to disregard their input.

Good but not perfect: 4 stars.

Quicktime pro is fantastic - it is so cheap compared to many other authoring programs and the optmisation works well.

Does what it says on the tin

Written by ML from LONDON

14-Nov-2006

After reading most reviews on this product which were kinda low I was wondering what's the problem with this.
But I bought Pro for exporting videos into smaller formats like playback on my phone, resizing for video streaming in online sites and saving trailers.

like loads of folk before me I got Pro to help with loads of issues I had with getting movie files to my iPod. It didn't resolve them, there was no one to talk to about it AND as soon as there was an upgrade my key was invalid. complete rip off. Don't buy. There are better programmes out there.

I, too, am surprised at the negative comments on QuickTime Pro. I use it pretty much every day for resizing video, converting audio. It works for me!

OK, maybe I didn't read all the details but I upgraded to quicktime pro and have found out after wasting most of the day that it doesn't play dvd's. Apple have to make that a lot clearer than they do. Buyer beware!

Did what I wanted

Written by DM from NUNEATON

Could not import MPEG1 Muxed video from iphoto into imovies. Downloaded QT pro 7 - exported to iphotos as Quicktime movie - imovie read the files and now part of a movie project/DVD. I read somewhere that mpeg1 muxed format combines audio with video - so after export left with only video (no audio), but no worries as audio on this occasion not required. 20 quid well spent to get the footage I wanted into imovie project. Registration process easy following link from online invoice to website.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Written by CN from Ashtead

13-Jan-2008

Apple have really screwed up QuickTime with the latest version 7.3.1! Since installing it I upgraded to Pro. However, it won't work with .mpg files... you cant make a selection because the selection 'handles' are not there! So, you can't copy, cut or paste... which kind of defeats the object doesn't it? The really stupid thing is... if you've previously saved an mpeg using the previous version of QuickTime... and with the selected frames in 'Play selection only' mode... your movie will happily play the selected frames... except you cant see the selection or the selection handles, or gain access to them!

SO BEWARE... ONCE YOU INSTALL THIS VERSION, YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION... SO YOU'RE STUCK WITH SOMETHING THAT NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY! Man... I love Apple too, but who is overseeing this kind of rubbish that you'd only expect from Gates?

I upgraded to Pro to unlock the export feature which I wanted to use for my home videos from my digital camera. Well, it says it converts to the format for iMovie, so I bought it. When I export, it does not take my audio from the video. I wish I knew this before I spent $30. This is messed up.
