Morning All, snip< The one thing I am seeing in QT7 is it does not download or start to play videos or streamed media as quickly as Panther with QT6.5, this I am not sure if it is a Safari issue, will investigate further.

Re: Quicktime 7 Issues?
One really cool feature is dictionary as standard, highlight word then command + control + D and their ya go. Where ya go? To the New Oxford American Dictionary? Or is Tiger outside the U.S. fitted with a dictionary that can properly spell?
Re: Quicktime 7 Issues?
Morning All, Part II After many hours in the wee morn I have installed Tigger on PB 17" 1.5 1gb Mem 128mb video. Yes their are issues with QT7, some I have answers and some I still trying to replicate. So, I am searching to replicate QT7 problems with Tigger specifically on PB, I have access to Dual G4's with 10.3.9 installed and some friends with various configurations. If you could supply info of Problem, relevant URL etc, I will test and research problem then report. The one thing I am seeing in QT7 is it does not download or start to play videos or streamed media as quickly as Panther with QT6.5, this I am not sure if it is a Safari issue, will investigate further. Also the download of said files seems to be slower also?? QT7 does seem to put extreme strain on systems, but it is also attempting to take the next step on the moon. All those years ago when codecs for DV and Firewire emerged their was some serious issues, same again we all need to help to make the next step smooth and sooner.

Problems of mic inputs not sure, but I suspect from visiting a few sites during the early morning it is people attempting to run QT7 in HD mode with below specification machinery. HD and H264 require some serious hardware to utilise even in playback. Now me sees why Xgrid is a very serious player in a digital studio environment, to encode and render behemoth of files. Un-installer:- This is for those whom have upgrade QT whilst still in 10.3.x, but the un-installer is for 10.3.9 only. So, this is causing a few problems as people are not reading relevant information. Well after spending the most part of the day in backup land and clean install of Tigger on friends PB 17" 2004 vintage. I spent the last 2 and a half hours editing and compositing, with audio external mike and internal mike plus recordings off DV tape which has been processed through Audacity and arranged edited for 5.1 via AC3 in Soundtrack. Just outputting into DVDSP all seems to be playing through simulator ( cannot wait to be able to do Dolby direct and output via sim to 6.1 sound system on the run) Formatting and Build are done it is burnt, off to lounge room to test yep all works. So, not a problem here yet FCP, DVDSP, Soundtrack, Audacity, and QT7Pro on Tigger via a PB cooking with Gas. Reports from a local school indicate that installing QT7 stuffs Kid Pix 4. Check company website, could be an issue they know about and have solved or are solving. I found this with Stuffit and Cocktail, relevant fixes already their and Diskwarrior too. And when you use the Apple uninstaller to go back to QT 6.5, Kid Pix is still stuffed! If you have 10.3.9 only, any other version this will happen. Do not use, although one thing I did notice with Tigger is the longer it is running the little bugs and niggles disappear and as for QT7 have not played with it much except in mentioned recordings. Which are external sounds for background noise with voice overs via PB mike. One would assume these are QT7 intense, the MPEG2 compiled a little quicker than the Panther powered PB, not sure but I think quality too, have to play more to check this. So, many options with QT not sure where to go, oh MPEG 2 QT Player for 6 works in 7 so do not purchase a new one it is same unit. I'd suggest giving QT7 a miss for now. Each too their own, but thus far no probs for me! I would suggest to leave QT7 alone unless going to Tigger. HD mode in QT7 requires some serious hardware, I think a lot of people are under impression it will work on antique machinery. Tigger itself seems to activate system CPU and Memory similar to Linux, but it is more efficient than Panther. One really cool feature is dictionary as standard, highlight word then command + control + D and their ya go. Off to get some sleep! Cheers! Rob

Re: Quicktime 7 Issues?
I've installed QT 7 on OS 10.3.9 (Tiger still not here Grrr..) Tried the built-in mic on my G5 iMac using Sound Studio to record. No problem - sound was clear on playback. Wonder if it's a Tiger issue, rather than QT alone. Cheers, Mike On 02/05/2005, at 6:13 PM, Reg Whitely wrote: Hi WAMUGgers I've just read these two reports on maced mailing list.
