QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows

Blame the user, not the software

QuickTime Pro is the Best value video tool Editing Software ever, it is simple, it looks cool ( not like those MS apps) and it is well worth the money. I use it professionally for all my compressions to Youtube and the web: H264 playing inside a Flash player, IT LOOKS AMAZING. I can add soundtracks, change aspect ratio, get precise movie properties, etc
Ok so it could come with Mpeg2 codecs, and Video record straight from DV to H264 like in the Mac Version. But I suppose this has to do with MPEG License Agency and hardware vendors. Worth every penny, but I know how to use it.

I needed to edit mpeg4 files. this was the cheapest thing I found. problems are that when you want to delete, cut, copy etc, you have to select where to do this. the problem with this it does't always delete at exactly the right place, even if you have the sliders in the right place! Present movie is great.

Quick and easy way to take video files and export them in a format suitable for iTunes and the AppleTV in particular. Well worth it for £20.

Happy with first impressions

Tried Quicktime 7 Pro for windows today, it worked fine on 3 half hour mpeg files, which I converted to m4v files then downloaded to my new video iPod. You will need a fast PC with lots of disk space but all video production work requires a high spec PC. Intend to try out the rest of the features later.

Conversion to iPod H.264 video - Slow, but seems to work

Written by DJ from Gloucester

31-Oct-2005

Well, I read the first review here and decided I'd give it a go anyway even though the comments there indicated I'd have a few problems.

I upgraded to QT7 for the simple reason that I wanted to convert my video files to the new H.264 format that QT7 is supposed to support so I can get them working on my new video enabled iPod.

Initially I thought it didn't work.

QT7 Pro allows loading of MOV amd MPG files. No specific mention of H.264, but I made the bold assumption that the MOV files it saves would be H.264 so I went ahead and converted to MOV. These files failed to upload to my iPod because it could not play them (so I have to assume that means they weren't saved as H.264).

Then while writing a more negative review than this has turned out to be, I discovered the Export option. I'd have thought it would be under Save As... and set the format to H.264, but no, the one feature I want is hidden away in the Export option of the File Menu.

Ah well, now that I know that, it's OK. And hopefully you'll also know because you've read this review.

Conversion was very slow though. First MPG to M4V format (That's the iPod file type) has now worked so that's 100% success. (small sample size though, so confidence remains to be increased).

FYI - Platform was PC with XP Home and Service Pack 2 installed plus all relevant updates (I have auto update enabled).

Quicktime export is slo-o-o-w

Written by KM from Vancouver

03-Apr-2006

Greetings, I purchased QT7 to export & downsize a file, and lighten the video. My QT6 key only works with qt6.
I was expecting some optimization of Quicktime's filters and expotr, but it is very very slooooow. I do not recommend it for this type of work. I'm exporting from Digital Fusion, which is less convenient, but 10x faster.

I would like to see Apple improve this software. Quicktime and the image viewer both initialize slowly as well.

What a mess

Written by SK from SOUTHALL

Absolutely dreadful. Can't do the obvious, can't seem to download straight into your Windows player (which is so much easier to use). Slow and clumsy, but also effects other programs on your pc.

Amateur time with QuickTime7 Pro

Written by MC from Totnes

Although only £20 to "upgrade" its hardly worth it. The interface is poor, file conversion is very limited, especially cropping which does not offer any real options.

Ok but there is better

Written by GF from CAMBERLEY

Not bad for £20.00 if all you want it for is to transfer videos to your ipod and it doesn't play MPEG files so your limited on what you can play. So for the ipod nut a good buy but for all you film buffs try elceware.

Good but just not good enough

Written by ER from Crawley

03-Dec-2005

I got this expecting to be able to put 20-30 minutes of TV shows on my ipod fairly quickly, what I got was rubbish.

I took over 3 hours to get 20% complete!! This is just useless. It does short 15 second clips in 10 minutes but for TV shows or films it's not worth it.

For a TV show that you want to put onto your iPod you won't be able to as your PC will crash.

Look round on the internet, there are some other software there that is as good, www.cucusoft.com is the same price and alot quicker. It took 20 minutes for a 30 minute TV episode.

Would not recommend it to anyone, unless it's only short clips you want to view on your iPod

UTTER WASTE OF MONEY

Written by BE from London

17-Dec-2007

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!

Written by SB from Sacramento

06-Jul-2006

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 version does not support WMV!!!!!!!

i simply cannot believe it - the WINDOWS version of QuickTime Pro doesn't support WMV. What on Earth are these people playing at!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel completely let down and will be asking for my money back. To call it the Windows version and then not support the standard Windows format it quite simply rediculous.

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.

What a waste of money

Written by PB from Ware

11-Sep-2008

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.
