Reviews for QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

Quicktime is great for conversion of file formats. I've been using it to convert video files from my dark, dark days in the Windows wilderness.

Quicktime the product gets 5 stars.

However, I screwed up when I bought the product. Yes, MY error. I inadvertently purchased the Windows version. Wasn't paying attention, can't return it, lost $30.

I took away a star because Apple has created different types of keys for the different Windows and OSX versions of Quicktime. I do not understand why this is necessary. I know it's my error that cost $30, but I don't see why it has to be this way.

The moral is... LOOK BEFORE YOU BUY, don't be like me, lol.

This upgrade is worth paying for, but I feel it's only worth about half of what they are charging for it. I finally upgraded because I wanted to save playblasts from Maya and this was the easiest way I could find to do so. I also do a bit of light video editing occasionally and basically to record or save anything you have to have Pro. I will definitely use the Pro features, but it feels like at least some of the recording or saving functions should be free.

I needed a program to convert my AVI files into MOV files for websites, iPods and Cell phones, and Quicktime was the perfect solution. As a PC user, I was very happy with the results. Thanks Apple!

It's worth the upgrade to purchase the full version. With QuickTime as my main video player, it is extremely useful to have the ability to play a movie in full-screen. I am slightly disappointed in Mac for not including this in the regular version, as full-screen playback is an important part of any video player, but was not let down by the quality upon completing the installation.

Quicktime 7 Pro is so much superior to QT10. I occasionally edit short videos and cut and paste them together and 10 has dropped those capabilities and some other features that makes it impossible to anything but playback video. It's seems faster to use than iMovie and less complicated not that iMovie is that complicated but I prefer to work in QT.

I'm hoping Apple will upgrade QT 10 to a Pro version and add in the features that they removed in QT 7 Pro.

Is it worth $30 bucks? It's definitely healthier than 5 Big Mac meals at the same cost.

I bought Quicktime and thought it would be another hard to use video viewer and editor. It worked really well in Leopard and Tiger before I upgraded. My only compliant was that whenever I wanted to convert video to a cell phone, I always head to get validation from my company that makes the phone. It isn't Apple's problem, but next time could you please integrate a validation program?

In all, this is an excellent product which reflects Apple's personality. The reason for it's low raiting are because of complainers on these comments that say their QuickTime 6 Pro was wiped out with QT7.

Hello guys? What did you UPDATE for? Logic, folks: when you are installing QT7, it uses LOGIC to think: huumm, this user want's to UPGRADE. How in land sakes will the computer know you want to install it WITHOUT removing QT6 Pro.

However, I still agree at the lack of functionality with different video and audio formats, especially with the DVD format. Additionally, the price is just a little bit too high. Therefore, it gets four stars.

I've always been a fan of the QuickTime player, Even in my Windows days, I know it's a great payer, but to pay for the extra features? Not really to sure I'd do that.

qt pro is an excellent product if you know how to use it. it was extremely confusing at first, but so are alot of other programs apple throws at us.
now, even if it is terrible for you, it's 30 freaking dollars, i mean please. don't give a terrible review for this thing until you know how to use it...
that's pretty much all, i love it. don't pay attention to the other reviews, it's a great product

I too, have tried many times to make work. Today, at last, I was Successful. I had to play within the Utilities folders and the Preferences. I believe the "fix" was the association of the Preference with the program. Hope this works. (It's taken me a while.)
