QT 5 and OS 8.6 have several known issues. Stuttering on audio playback (MP3 for me) and jpeg "corruption" if you install QT 5.x and don't notice the "Quicktime JPG update" extension going into your extensions folder (it just mangles things). Posts in the archives talk about this; Sonnet and others have blurbs about this. It's not just G3 accel. 1400's that demonstrate it, my 4400 OS 8.6 was eating all the jpgs uploaded onto my ftp server until I realized I'd put QT5 on it. QT4 should be safe though.
