Reviews for QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

mkv files to mp4 - HD media ready for the PS3 and Xbox platforms

Excellent quality and options, great little bit of software

After Reading all of the reviews I was a little worried about spending £20 on software. Especially as I previously had free software on the PC.

QuickTime had been highly recommended by a few friends, so I spent the £20 and went for it. I'm so glad I did !! The output quality was perfect from a avi to iPhone and a 20 min video converts in about 8 mins. Then after clicking on the file, imported it directly Into iTunes. I couldn't have asked for a easier app. Well done apple.

Ps. Although other reviews are saying it doesn't play certain files, do they know about the free addons ? Divx etc

This product is good, and as another reviewer says, it "does what it says on the tin". I find the easy Audio Recording feature particularly useful when I'm just playing with ideas.

But come on, everyone knows this functionality should be built into Mac OS X as standard...

Offering a variety of different options, QuickTime Pro does exactly what I wanted it to do - it converts videos to different formats (including iPhone and iPod friendly formats) easily, however for large files, don't expect the process to be fast, it can take some time to convert.

Also remember the ability to create the files you want is entirely dependant on Quicktime being able to open the files in the first place - and whilst getting the pro upgrade does expand the range of files you can play to a certain extent (including FLV for example), its only as good as the codecs installed on your system.

I see an awful lot of people getting hot under the collar about this upgrade. The fact is that this is a piece of software designed to work with Apples other Pro App's (ie, Final Cut Studio, etc) and for that it's an indispensable tool. Export files, trim files which have been a left a little long on the time line, compress for upload, separate audio from the video, etc, etc. This offers some great tools which I use almost daily and get driven mad if I don't have them to hand when on another Mac...

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?

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!

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!

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.
Does what it says on the tin
