[+vlsi0n Subscriber¹]

its nice, but everytime i play anything that its played with Quicktime, it trys to add itself to my start-up list. vvery annoying

I just tried it out and H.264 playback is 100% great for 480p now. I will give 720p a shot now.

edit: Both resolutions work perfect now.

It has done that for ages, not just the beta version, its one of the reasons I hate Quick Time.

I love QT but when is the final coming out, sheesh!

[Lasker]

I hear from another forum that will be release by the end of this year

[k22]

:sleep: release the final version dammit! :)

i don't see any problems with QT7 public previews 1 and 2...so what is the 3rd one for??

They will wait to bundle it with iTunes 5

^^ I was just thinking that

[nexx]

When they figure out how to let people play 1080p h.264 video smoothly without needing insane system requirements

They should just use the ffmpeg source

MPlayer and VLC are far superior at even Apple's own h264 mov files :rolleyes:

And like I need iTunes FFS :angry:

Might as well test this version out with the HD content. So far, no success - besides WMV's HD content plays back just fine on this system. Do I see a problem here (and don't give me BS about standards, if any)

I suspect that there'll be nearly 10-15 previews before the final or just they give up and release Quicktime 8 and then shock all Mac users.

Paul Thurrot mentions in his blog that he bought for all 2 Mac & Windows Quciktime 7's and shows how "craptacular" Windows version of Quicktime 7 against CoolMacStyle :)

this version isn't working fine with my old sound card (c-media cmi8330) :no:

[Schmoove]

Wow it improved significantly!

The players starts up in less then a second and the High Definition trailers run smooth, even the big ones!

Paul found out that it was a setting problem. Not QT.

I got an error

Right near the end of the install, the following message appears:

Error 0402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTime.qt\DefaultIcon. Verify that you have sufficient acces to that key, or contact your support personnel

This annoyed me too because it wouldn't install QT 7 which is required by iTunes 5.

Here's what I did:

Run REGEDIT

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\

Delete every key (i.e. folder) with the word "QuickTime" in the front of it.

Now, reinstall.....

It should now work.

umm...I think if you downloaded iTune 5.0, the latest Quicktime for windows already come with it...but correct me if I'm wrong..

[Azadre]

You, sir, are absolutely, positively correct.

:yes:

Thats when I actaully found out that they finally released it (final buiild).

Yes you are, but QT7 doesn't give you the error message unless you try to install it on its own. The installation shows that it was successful, but you keep getting an error message saying that QT6.5 is installed and QT7 is required.

Delete those keys, and install QT7 or reinstall iTunes 5 to make it work.
