Reviews for QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had an Ipod Video bought for Xmas , very nice..... until I tried to transfer my music vids etc etc .. Same problem as other people . However a friend of mine suggested Videora ipod converter . Went to their sight followed the instructions and hey presto I now have my music vids, recorded stuff on my Ipod video.it converts wmv avi to mpeg4 .....Thanks Apple/Quicktime , not . By the way Videora is free to boot.

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!!!!

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.
