QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows

Slow Time

Written by RB

25-Sep-2008

I continue to use Quick Time because other people send me stuff in Quick Time format and I can't transfer it into a better format without buying the Quick Time upgrade. As I refuse to buy the Quick Time 7 Pro upgrade I am constantly bombarded with Quick Time spam asking me to buy this upgrade - annoying. As other reviewers have stated Quick Time is slow and limiting in its free format. Windows Movie Maker (free) is basic but so much better. "Quick Time" should be renamed Slow Time - to avoid confusion

What a waste of money

Written by PB from Ware

I should have known better and read the reviews before buying. Have tried to open MPEG files and it won't play on Quick Time 7 Pro files run perfectly on other apps. I have will not waste another second on trying to get this to work - life is too short. Will report to trading standards and try and get refund. This is a shocking way for a large firm like Apple to treat PC users, if this is a ploy to get PC users to move to MAC then it has backfired as far as I am concerned.

OH NO - RIPPED OFF AGAIN!

Written by LB from EPSOM

I just want to save a video file and all I get is "do you want to buy now?" - I have bought this software TWICE and although it installs, my pc won't recognise it on actual playback use and so I can't save the file I want to upload to my facebook - How come they make it so easy to get and install, and yet, so hard to actually use where you need it? I loathe software programs which don't care about the end user beyond the credit card input page! Thanks Big Boys - one day your time will come!!!!

UTTER WASTE OF MONEY

Written by BE from London

How stupid I feel. How cheated I feel. Despite reading all the warnings here about Quicktime Player Pro. I went ahead and bought it today because I was desperate to do a little editing on a 3 minute Quicktime Movie. I expected a product close to the editing functionality of the FREE Windows Movie Maker. Quicktime Pro in comparison is utterly, utterly useless. Absolutely NO STARS at all but the rating will not let me do that. I want my money back!!!

The Fix is In!

It blows me away that I can spend hundreds of dollars for the video ipod and it doesn't even come with software that allows it to play something in a format created by its makers(Quicktime)!!! What a ripoff. Apple has really disappointed on this one. I actaully bought this junk QT Pro 7 version because it was touted to convert QK files to iopd format WITH SOUND...no such luck. EVen after reading many posts and buying another converter (AVS video converter) I still only get the video to play. No way to unmux the file...any more suggestions?

Windows v Apple QT Pro

Written by KG from ROCHESTER

31-Jan-2006

Apple, be fair to Windows users, they have a genuine complaint, you get a 1 star for playing hard to get.
As bench test, QT Pro v7 on a Dual G5, 60s DVPAL file exported to:
1 PASS PAL MPG2 - 40s
2 PASS VBR PAL MPG2 - 1m:30s
DIVX v4.1 handheld profile - 1m 40s
MP4 basic profile - 12s (iPod/iTunes)
H264 640x480 1 pass - 30s
A 60s DVCPRO 1080i HD export to:
MP4 basic profile - 3m:40s , ooh that is slow.
Now about to load up QuickTime Pro on my XP machine ... watch this space.

Faulty

Bought this to convert files to get into itunes. Quicktime seems unable to load any files and include audio that every other bit of video software on my pc can handle without a problem! I note that I am supposed to pay an extra £14 for MPEG-2 support - unbelievable! This is supposed to be the best product - and the PRO product - how can it be PRO if it can't handle MPEG-2?

Do not waste your money on this purchase.

It SUCKS

Written by JJ from Portsmouth,

If you pay £300 for an ipod 60 G video player
IT SHOULD be supplied with GOOD software with full
music and video conversion software THAT WORKS.
NOT the TOTAL RUBBISH Apple supply !!!!
The situation is so DIRE I intend returning the I pod for a full refund !!! Apple are a technical JOKE !!!
And I thought Microsoft were bad !!!!
If the software matched the hardware in engineering quality...... the I pod would be a hot item.
BUT
Theres is a ...... TERRIBLE low standard of software for a new product on the market now. Thank you Apple !!!

Such a con

Written by JS from Fleet

08-Jan-2006

Although I praise Apple for such great things like the ipod, I have to say I was CONNED. I bought the ipod video in a hope to get my holiday videos and other videos as advertised on the homepage. However to achieve this you had to pay a further £20 to do it!!!

Quicktime doesnt even work well! Its painfully slow and does not even convert some of the files i want to ipod format!!

Avoid

Written by SR from Ormskirk

I bought this software to convert my videos that i had not downloaded from iTunes onto my iPod. I even phoned apple and they said this is what you need to convert the videos. IT ISNT. To convert a 4 minute music video takes literally hours and then often gets to about 75% complete before the whole thing fails. On the odd chance that it might finnish it goes onto the iPod fine but then plays with no sound. I have tried to put them into all sorts of formats that Quick Time offers with the same results apart from the it creates the rubbish slightly qicker. This is the first apple product that has let me down so I still think they are a fantastic company and I will contine to buy from Apple, however this is product unacceptable.

Bought this programme to convert digital camera video into a format viewable on video ipod.It is very slow and at converting and I couldn't get the 'Import to ipod' feature to work at all. freeware called 'videora' works much quicker and more simply. Quick time pro was a waste of £20 for me.

Totally agree with all of the above. If you pay £220 for an ipod u expect it to atleast come with the correct software, you SHOULD NOT have to buy a new package.It is not recommended to any one, trouble is, if you have the video ipod you have to buy it or videos simply do not work.

Complete Scam

Written by WE from Robertsbridge

Do not by this product to convert videos to ipods!!! I bought Quicktime Pro to convert videos for my ipod and thought this was my only choice so decided to get it despite other bad reviews. It is extremely slow, taking hours for a 30 minute show and it only converts video and not audio on MPEG files, so is effectively useless. They are just taking another £20 of people who have bought a video ipod for a slow, and mostly useless product and do not offer any refund. If you are getting this to convert videos to ipod there are far better and free products out there...try videora ipod converter.Completely free and v fast.Would give Quicktime Pro no stars if i could.

quicktime PRO is a waste of time for iPOD movies Sort it out Apple!!

Written by PS from rustington

29-Dec-2005

Very annoying. the export to ipod movie feature in quicktime Pro is only good for 1 chapter, or a small video clip. If you want to convert a full movie its useless. I left it running all night and in the morning it was still only 16% done. as soon as you put a large file in it Slows right up to a snail walk.
waste of money. Apple sort it out!! come on! give your customers something they can use! you know we want to convert Full movies. not just small clips.
DETAILS ON WHAT I WAS DOING: Rip 1 DVD to Mpeg1 using Number1 dvd ripper. end result a 1 gig Mpeg perfect quality. put into qt Pro, export as ipod movie.
end result = 24 hours and it only did 26% of the movie.
I tried with just 1 short clip 30 seconds and the quality was MINT on the ipod! i just wish i could do a full movie. £19.99 wasted! I tried splitting the movie into 3 but the files were still too big and too slow. I tried splitting into 10 parts of 100MB but stll No good. so SLOW 3 hours to do 12%
