QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows

The Fix is In!

Written by SB from Sacramento

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?

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

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

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.

Avoid at all cost

This piece of software is awful. If you actually manage to export a file without it crashing and taking hours (honest) it will either not work on my ipod or there's no sound. It also doesn't convert .wmv files and is best avoided. My laptop is powerful and takes an age to convert any file using QT 7 Pro. I've managed to put two videos onto my ipod from the 11 I've tried. I feel cheated.

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

It SUCKS

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 !!!

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.

Faulty

Written by ML from Nottingham

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.

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 THIS PRODUCT

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!!!!

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.

I agree entirely with the previous review.The time taken to convert files for use is ridiculous(2 min clip takes around 30 mins)and the software crashes on longer clips.
Come on Apple,you charge a premium for your products/software-this is simply not up to the job.

No stars ,but system forces one star in order to submit review.

I have the exact same problems as mentioned before. This is something Apple needs to sort out or Quicktime will be a flop. I have a medium spec PC, and am running XP Prof.

This is another case of Apple exploiting people who have paid a considerable amount for the new video i-pod. It took hours to transfer a few short clips I had taken with my digital camera and the rest of the software is useless if this is the only reason you're buying the product
