Can someone tell me the status of QuickTime and QuickTime Pro?

I am very confused about the current status of QuickTime as an ongoing software.  I am speaking of QuickTime on the Mac.
If I double-click on a video (.mov) on my hard drive, it plays with QuickTime Player 10.2 (603.12). 
If I try to play some videos in iTunes (.mpg files, and maybe others), I get a pop-up window saying "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
I also have Quicktime Pro Player 7 [version 7.6.6 (1709)].  Which also lists itself QuickTime Version 7.7.1 (2599.24).
What is the difference between Pro Player 7 and QuickTime Player 10.2?  My understanding is that Pro 7 has many more export options and is a more powerful program.  But is it still current?  Or has it been abandoned? 
Why is QT 10.2 less powerful than 7?
Why isn't QT supported by the current version of iTunes?

  It sounds like with 7, there was Quicktime version whatever, and you could upgrade to Pro.  Then they branched off and kept upgrading QT, but leaving Pro behind.  When they did this, they incorporated many of Pro's features into the newer QT versions, but, apparently they left out some codecs that Pro supports.
That's basically correct.
Why did they leave out those codecs?  Why didn't they just march forward with future QT versions and include everything?
We don't know, being just fellow users. QuickTime X is a completely new architecture, so perhaps they just didn't feel that recoding the older codecs was worth the time given their future plans for QuickTime, but all anyone of us here can do is guess.
You say there have been many updates to Pro over the years, but are they still updating it?
Apple continues to update QuickTime X, but has not released an update to QuickTime Player 7 in many months now.
Regards.

    you could try forcing it into recovery mode by turning it off, hold the home button and plug it into iTunes at the same time, keep holding the home button until iTunes says its detected a device that needs to be updated or restored. Then restore.

    This is not a difference between your Macbook Pro, but the keyboard key cap type (the small plastic squares for each on your keyboard) I think it has to do with what is printed on the modifier keys, but the difference is minor and the both seem to be compatible with the same models based on the links you posted.

  • Help. Can someone tell me the taxes on their triple bundle package in NYC

    Can someone with a bundle package fios tv, interenet and phone, the ~$94.99 plan tell me what the taxes are?  Basically what is the total cost of the bill per month is in NYC and if it is the same amount every month and if not how much it fluctuates.  I have looked everywhere and can't find the answer and Verizon can't tell me the number.
    Thanks

    OK.  Finally found the answer.  Thanks for all those that responded.
    Actually was able to get the triple play fios (20mps for internet), fios tv and phone for $84.99 (there was an additional discount of $10 if you order via phone).  After all applicable taxes the final bill comes to ~$102/month.  Free standard HD top box.  Hope this helps for others out there in NYC.  I assume if you were to go with the 94.99 the final bill would be ~$10 more.

  • Can someone tell me the *newest* model # for isight?

    Hi all,
    Can someone please tell me which is the newest model # (or the last model # Apple shipped) Was is the M9330LL/C or the M8817LL/C.
    Or maybe I am totally off?
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Thanks Ken and J.V. I appreciate it!
    j.v. - thanks a bunch, you told me everything I wanted to know!

  • Can someone tell me the differences?

    Can someone please tell me the difference between the old apple tv and the new apple tv?! thanks!

    Got mine today in the mail.
    The new Apple TV only displays 720p in overscan mode (the old one would do 1080p without cutting off any pixels).
    The 720p resolution is fine for movies in 720p, but is noticeably poor in the user interface (looks fuzzy on 42+ inch LCD/Plasma TVs).
    The color profiles on the new Apple TV seem weird (photos look out of whack).
    The new Apple TV seems underpowered in the user interface with very evident lag and chunkiness.
    In particular, the new Apple TV does not render photo animations at 60fps like the old Apple TV (looks more like 30fps or even 15fps, noticeably choppy).
    Maybe these issues will be addressed with software optimizations in future firmware updates.
    I am an Apple fanatic, and love my old Apple TV, but I wouldn't recommend the new on yet. I plan to shelve the new one in favor of the old one for displaying my iTunes and iPhoto content on my TV.

  • Can someone tell me the steps to get rid of the Yahoo toolbar. I have gmail and the right homepage , and when I updatede Firefox I said I didn't want the Yahoo toolbar, but it is there anyway and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    I just want to get rid of the **** Yahoo toolbar! If not, I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox. Can someone help me with the steps to do either one of these, Please!!!

    I just figured out how to remove it. Go to the Tools menu and select add-ons. Click on extensions, locate Yahoo Toolbar in the list, and off to the right, you can click on "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled, restarted Firefox 4.0, and bingo, no annoying Yahoo toolbar. Hope this helps!
