What version of QuickTime?

I have assembled a Director projector application that
features a handful of QuickTime video files. In my projector app,
I've considered people who may not have QuickTime installed on
their computer, so I've put the install file for the latest
versions of QuickTime on the CD that will accompany my projector
app. Both for PC and Mac.
In my Director projector app, I've put a line of code that
checks the user's computer for the pressence of QuickTime 7.0 or
higher. Now, I'm wondering if it might be better if I changed the
line of code to check for a lower version of QT or not...
So here's my question: How can I find out what the minimum
version of QuickTime will play my QuickTime video files?
If say version 4 of QuickTime will play my videos without any
trouble, then I'd like to change the line of code to check for
version 4 or higher. Get me?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

That would probably be dictated by the codecs that ship with
each
release. Which codec did you encode your video files with?
Here are a couple of documents relating to the last couple of
versions
<

from which you can see that version 5 added support for MPEG1
playback
and version 6 added support for MPEG4

What version of Quicktime is best for Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5?

Hello,
Could anyone tell me what version of Quicktime works best with Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5? Currently I have QT version 7.6.2.
Unfortunately, all the clips are digitizing at 640 x 480 instead of 720 x 480 (I have trashed prefs and checked the sequence settings and Easy Setup, both are set at NTSC 720 x 480). I have also completely re-installed FCP from the original disks.
When I digitize a clip, it digitizes at 640 x 480. When I open the clip itself and look at the properties, the "Presentation" is set to "Clean" (640 x 480) instead of "Classic" (720 x 480). It keeps defaulting to Clean, and therefore digitizing at 640x480.
Should I uninstall QT and go back to an earlier version? If so, which one would be best? Or is there an easier way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help. I've been struggling with this problem for over a week.

You list Sequence settings and Easy Setup, but is there any chance your Capture Preset somehow got tweaked to NTSC 4x3 (640x480), instead of it's normal setting of DV NTSC 3x2 (720x480)
From the extent of troubleshooting steps you've taken, this would be unlikely, but heck your Capture Preset and make sure it's correct.

How can you tell what version of Quicktime you have?

How do you determine what version of Quicktime you have on your computer? What version do you need for a new 30G Video iPod? How do you upgrade versions, if necessary?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Open a QT document and use the Help menu, where you should see an item labeled (I believe) About Quicktime Player. That should tell you the version running the player.
You need QT Pro and QT 7 to have a preset for iPod video. You probably can use QT 6 if you use these settings in making an mpeg-4 video:
"MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480x480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats<<
QT 7 is available for download from the Apple site by clicking on
"Quicktime" in the Purple banner above

What version of Quicktime Player X is updated to if updating to 10.7.5?

Does anyone know what version of Quicktime Player X is updated to when you update the OS to 10.7.5? Currently, I am running Quicktime Player 10.1, but wasn't sure if it would stay at 10.1 or get updated to 10.2.
Also, has it been verified that Quicktime 10.2 will work on Lion?
Thanks!

1. QuickTime Player 10.1.
2. It won't.

What version of Quicktime will work with Movie Captioner?

Does anyone know what version of Quicktime will work with Movie Captioner on a MacBook Pro, OSX version 10.2?

If you have a MacBook Pro you can't be running OS 10.2. If you are running OS 10.2, you have some other model Mac, not a MacBook Pro.
Can you provide the correct info?
 Cheers, Tom

What version of QuickTime goes with FCP 6.0.3?

I'm running OS X.4.11 and I've gotta be careful how far I take QuickTime for the sake of other applications on my rig. I can't seem to find spec info to tell me what version of QT runs with 6.0.3.

What version of QuickTime to use with iDVD 4.0.1? (Audio on DVD is out of s

I purchased my eMac in 2004 and it came with iDVD 4.0 pre-installed. I upgraded it to iDVD 4.0.1, and everything worked fine with OS 10.3.4 and QuickTime 6.5.1. I burned 8 DVD projects with no trouble.
I recently upgraded the OS to 10.3.9 and QuickTime to 7.1.5. I just burned a DVD tonight, and the audio is out of sync. Also, one of the video files doesn't start at the beginning of the movie. It starts later.
Are these problems caused by using iDVD 4.0.1 with the newer QuickTime? Or with the newer OS? Should I go back to 10.3.9 and QT 6.5.1?
Thanks

Sue,
Thank you for your reply. I have followed the instructions and I am now running QuickTime 6.5.2, with OS 10.3.9 and iDVD 4.0.1.
Everything works normally except on movie files where I have a chapter marker near the beginning of the movie. On some movies I have chapter markers near the beginning, so that the viewer can select that part of the video when browsing around the disc. This causes trouble with iDVD though.
In the preview for iDVD, everything plays fine and the audio is synced fine. But, when the disc is burned, the audio is out of sync - only for those movies that had the chapter marker near the beginning. On the burned DVD, those movies play with the audio starting correctly, but the video starting at the next chapter (the second chapter marker I placed). I believe this is a bug in iDVD, since it plays perfectly in the iDVD preview, but incorrectly on the burned disc.
I have reinstalled iDVD and upgraded it to 4.0.1, and the problem is still there. It seems like my only solution would be to remove that first chapter marker.

Have new iMac with latest version of quicktime. But still have FCP5. When try to make a quicktime movie this version only processes 8 sec of a 7 minute sequence. What's up?

It is strange. I thought 10.x might be the more recent but it also locked up when I tried to the web export. I ran into the no autoplay issue with the webpage so I'll need to look elsewhere to replace a Flash gallery... oh well. Looks like there are probably JS option that might work.
Thanks.

Quicktime - what version do you use?

Running Vista (32bit) with AE and am looking to install Quicktime and get Color Finesse running. Am using AE within Production Premium Suite CS3 and the system requirements say Quicktime 7.1.5. I am interested to hear what version people are using and if they've had any problems with particular versions of Quicktime.
Haven't installed Quicktime yet but have downloaded 7.5 from the Apple website.
Thanks.

I have 7.5 running on various systems (XP32, XP64, Vista 32, Mac) and so far had no problems. Mustn't mean anything, though. We are mostly relying on the legacy CoDecs and third-party CoDecs not included in QT, so they rarely are affected by updates of the core software or get updated quickly after that in case there are issues.

Unable to use 'copy' feature with registered version of quicktime pro.

Hi.
I have a registered version of Quicktime pro (7.1.6), and i am unable to use the copy feature. I captured several videos from work using a windows box and an application whose name escapes me at the moment. Due to the windows app being garbage, i was only able to capture in MPEG1 format (MPEG2 caused the app to crash, of course). I have brought the files home and am now unable to copy selections of it for exporting into smaller files. I can highlight lengths of the video (no audio, just video) but the 'copy' feature is grayed out still. Any ideas on what is causing this? The video format is as follows:
MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480
FPS: 29.97
Data rate: 4066.42 kbits/sec
I'm running 10.3.9, but have also had no success on a 10.4 macmini, so the OS doesn't seem to be the issue.
I'm trying to get this video into imovie, but since it's over 600 megs, imovie cops out after a few hours and says it can't import it.
Help?

Not all multiplexed videos come with AC3. They don't have to have audio in the first place. Some of them come with Linear PCM, which is the case for iDVD's VOB files, and MP2. If a multiplexed video is equipped with AC3, you are right, and the resulting modified sub-clip won't contain audio. But if it's Linear PCM or MP2, the edited sub-clip will contain audio.
I'm finished with this case.

I TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE LAST VERSION OF QUICKTIME BUT A MESSAGE ERROR SAYS : CAN NOT REPLACE THE OLDER VERSION 7.6.2 INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER

I have beeing trying to upgrade my old version of Quicktime 7.6.2 to the newer one.
Unfortunatly, at the end of the downloading process, I got an error message: The Older Version of Bonjour can not be removed. Please contact your technical support. I have no idea what is Bonjour??? Except it is French for good morning. I tried to delete the program with the add/remove programs, but I got a new error message who says: Another installation is already in progress, complete that installation before. It is crazy because I can not complete the installation until I delete the Bonjour program. And when I stopped the installation of Quicktime to try to delete or repair the program, I got a message: The feature you are trying to use is on a Network resource who is unavalaible????? I am ready to give up. HELP!!

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
You have an Intel Mac so you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but using the information from the Get Information step above check the system requirements first:

ITunes/Quicktime problem "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed"

Whenever I try installing iTunes 7, I get the message "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed." A similar problem with the same wording similarly cropped when I downloaded iTunes 6.
Source of the problem is a failed System Restore which left files corrupted and such, I've tried using ccCleaner to remove iTunes and Quicktime from the registry but it simply isn't there, as is the case when I use regedit in Run.
Add/Remove Programs doesn't work as well, when I click on uninstall for iTunes/iPod/Quicktime there just isn't any response or window that pops up
Any help?

Can't install Itunes 9.2 "Newer Version of Quicktime"

I got a new itouch last week. Worked fine. Then went to update software to new OS (maybe Apple could have put this on a brand new one instead of older OS?!). Message said i needed Itunes 9.2. Went to update and got error "newer version of quicktime installed" and that i can't update since iTunes needs Quicktime. Tried several approaches, no luck. Deleted Itunes for a fresh start and then this wiped the Itouch clean which i had not at all intended. But, despite this exact same error message. I have been working on this and have used various uninstallers and searched the registry, cleaned temp folders, compressed and defragmented the hard drive. Downloaded Chrome, tried manually installing Itunes using Apple Software update, etc etc etc etc etc. Same message. Do i need to wipe the hard drive? Does anyone from Apple have any idea what to do? All message boards i have seen indicate that they do not.

That one has gotten complicated ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Deleted QuickTime 10 so I could get QT7 Pro, but now I can't reinstall ANY version of QuickTime.

I purchased & tried installing QuickTime 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. I already had QuickTime version 10. The instructions said I needed to download QT7, but it wouldn't install. So I tried deleting QT10 by moving it to the trash & emptying it. WIth that gone, I downloaded & installed QT&, but it wouldn't show up in the Applications folder, even after it said it was successfully installed. I even tried installing it from the DVD that came with my computer. Once I did get it to show up, the icon was different; it was like a notepad & a paint brush or something, but it wouldn't do anything. When I double-clicked on it, it would appear, then instantly disappear. Next, I tried copying a working version from another computer to my MacBook. Now, the QT7 icon is right, but it still won't open. What do I do now? I don't even care about QT Pro now; I can't even WATCH videos on my laptop. The QT7 icon is in my Applications folder & I was able to drag the icon to my dock, but it immediately closes/disappears when I try to open it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get QuickTime working again on my computer? Thanks in advance!

You've messed things up by deleting QuickTime X and trying to install the wrong version of QuickTime Player on your Snow Leopard machine.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
QuickTime Player 7.6.6 installs in the Utilities folder and QuickTime X is installed in the HD/Applications folder.
You can run two versions of QuickTime in Snow Leopard and Lion.
Delete the wrong one from the Applications folder and open QuickTime Player 7 from the Utilities (after the download and install) to enter your registration.

What version of QuickTime?
