    QuickTime 7 Pro - Should be withdrawn

    • Written by from Sheffield

    I have just wasted my money on QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X.

    I bought it to encode Cinepac AVI files as I had read misleading information indicating that it would be capable of that. It doesn't create avi files (even though it will create cinepac mov files).

    As far as I can see there are very few people who will get any value from this old and now useless software. In fact I think it is a con. There is too little information available about what it can and can't do - and don't even think you can get a refund if it doesn't do what you need it to.

    Apple: Please withdraw this from sale (offer it for free) rather than upset your loyal fan base.

    I feel ripped off!

    price differential between US and AUS

    • Written by from Preston

    Hi,
    I went to buy this product after seeing it on the US apple store site (directed there by a google search) and was wrapped to see what looks like a great program, from Apple which I can trust right?) for 25 dollars. Unfortunately when I went to buy the product, it directed me to the Aus store where the same product, with the same digital download, costs me 45 dollars.

    The Australian dollar is currently 5% higher than the grenback, so where is the differential in the pricing, if not price gouging based on geography?

    This is realy poor service from Apple, and if they don't do something about Australians being "bent over" on pricing, the next computer will be PC

    Why $15 more in Australia?

    • Written by from Sydney

    Why does US$30 equate to A$45? Especially weird when it's a string of numbers we're buying!

    Buyer beware - Current version is broken when editing Audio back to a video

    • Written by from West Hollywood

    The "pass through" feature is broken in this current version (7.6.6). You won't be able to save audio if you add it to a video clip using the "pass through" feature.

    Export Not work on lion

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I wish I could give a zero star for this program. It is absolutely waste of investing. Stop working when I upgrade the system to Lion, and now the export function stop working, which was the main reason why I purchase this app in the first place. :(

    Double the prince in New Zealand!

    • Written by from Dunedin

    Why is QT Pro nearly double the price in NZ. $30 US does not equal $55 NZ...it's about $36. US Store will only let US residents purchase it. Sigh.

    Not Happy!

    • Written by from Downey

    I was disappointed with this program. I was able to edit my videos, but when I wanted to burn them to a DVD I just couldn't. Please advice.

    Another bummed customer!

    • Written by from Pine Falls

    I also thought I could record the screen with the pro version. What a disappointment! Aside from that I can't figure out what the point of upgrading to pro is? It is not easy to figure out how to edit video in it. Waste of $30.

    Terrible! Don't buy it!

    • Written by from Doncaster East

    I thought I would get more editing features - no, very similar to QT X. Its a waste of money. Try something free. This is bad! I'm starting to regret moving over to Apple.

    disappointed Apple

    • Written by from Fitzroy North

    Whats going on Apple??? I am very disappointed with QT7Pro. I paid for and downloaded it, only to find it doesnt work with QT10.

    I have become so used to your products working with each other and being up to date I didn't even question if this was the right thing to download. - First time in 15 years that Apple has let me down...and I have wasted my money.

    what a mistake

    • Written by from Toronto

    I thought if I bought this I could record screen. Well it doesn't. It can record what camera shows. I needed to capture screen and that can be done in regular FREE version of quick time. Ctrl+Cmd+N. Found out too late.

    Waist of money. I wish product was better described. well...next time.

    BTW, installation was nightmare, finding application, registering is not straight forward. All in all-not happy with this software at all.

    Is Apple abandoning you (us) QuickTime, Final Cut Pro?

    • Written by from sao paulo - sp

    We The Pro People, have been using Apple for many years. Could someone from Apple please make us, try and understand:
    • Why do I have to go BACK to QT 7 to use QT PRO? (aren't you embarrassed to ask this?)
    • We The Pro People with what you are doing to Final Cut Pro. Why?
    • What is the idea with Lion X? Why are there no major updates to fix so much? Or maybe you could forget it, follow the yellow brick road and come up with Bear X, or with OhMy X (Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh my!).
    We The Pro People have been faithful to you Apple for many years, and in return got the best from Apple. Please keep feeding us the best to keep our faith strong.
    Keep Mac OS X robust, well designed and in the front.
    Or is Apple so bewildered with iPhone, iPod, iPad, that Apple is losing interest in We The Pro People?
    Also in this relationship, I would rather have it straightforward, and not through subtle hints. If you are to leave, let us part as friends. It has been so good for so many years..

    Worst. Ever.

    • Written by from SAINT HELENS

    This thing is confusing and worthless. QT 7 was great, why does Apple have to make it more confusing, less powerful and a lot more frustrating?
    iMovie is also absolutely terrible. Love the hardware, hate most of the software. I'm angry. And as usual, disappointed with their newest version.

    What is up with this function? QT 10 vs QT 7 (pro) confusing enuf?

    • Written by from Los Osos

    QT used to work great on my MB Pro, ran mov wmv avi without a problem, now it won't even run mov. Crash crash crash. And am I getting this right, QT X should be replaced with QT Pro 7, huh? Isn't that backwards. What a mess! Really Apple we expect a lot better.

    Out of date and slow

    • Written by from Prince Albert

    I moved from Windows where I used an old version of Roxio to convert video formats. Roxio worked in real time, 1 hour file took 1 hour to convert. My iMac is 5 years newer then my PC and with QuickTime 7 Pro the conversion is more like 5 to 1, 1 hour file took 5 hours to convert. I did not know QuickTime Pro 7 was so out of date. Sorry, but without an update QuickTime Pro is a waste of money.

    Why?

    • Written by from Parkerville

    Why create a product that doesn't keep up with what is happening in the real world? It doesn't cope with the new video formats such as .mod and the mpeg2 plug-in that you have to buy, doesn't cope with AC3 sound...so why? I cannot recommend this product.

    quick time pro and capturing video from usb handycam...

    • Written by from Marietta

    i just bought a top of the line Sony NEX VG10 Handycam thinking it was going to work great with my MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express, and it happens that I can not directly capture from my Handycam, I wonder if I could do it fromo QTPro? I had to buy a software called "ClipWrap" to convert my High Definition Movies (avchd, ,mts to .mov) then it takes a long time for Final Cut Xpress to read the files as the files are full HD, I am considering getting rid of my MacBook Pro and buying a Windows base computer to use the HD Sony video editing software that came with the NEX VG10, any suggestions/ideas? thanks
