Gee, are you missing the point. I have QuickTime loaded on my computer as I write this, and it has been loaded since I commissioned this hard drive many, many months ago. I've also installed at least two Quick Time "upgrades" since then. I've used Quick Time for almost a decade. I just used it last night. It crapped out. Fine, quality software. Crapped out after loading two plugins to render an MPEG-2 file.
Hmmmm. Did you buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 component or try to use a third party plug-in? And when you say "render," were you encoding a file or just trying to play one?Apple's MPEG-2 encoder is included with Final Cut Studio as part of the DVD Studio Pro 4 application.
However, I did not load the latest version, so the damn webpage wouldn't let me download or stream the file you pointed me to. Not being a fanboy of Apple, and not wanting to actually work to remove the many layers of crap that Apple bundles into the "free" download, I couldn't view the file. Tough shit.
Sounds like a sob story to me.
I have at least five media players on my computer (Windows Media, VLC, Real, Divx, QuickTime). Real and QuickTime I almost never use, nor have a need to use.
Apparently you do not create content. Regards Craig P.S. You can download the current version here without iTunes http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_5_5_for_WindowsAfter this is installed, try using the "Enter Full Screen" command under the View menu.
