Re: Quicktime mpeg2 component and the 64 bit question
Thank you Rod D and Ronnie for you responses, I wasn't given custom install option and didn't notice the top menu bar, installed software, panicked a bit when it my mpegs didn't play, saw Quicktime 7, erased that - oops, did a fresh install of Snow Leopard, so it wasn't a clean install and wow they we were correct about freeing 7Gb that must have set a new record for a software upgrade minus 7Gb. All is working now, my 4yr old son can watch his mpegs again. and, did anyone else read this on the 9 to 5 mac RSS feed: 'For those of you running Snow Leopard on newer Macs, you might be disappointed to know that you are probably running in 32-bit mode.

Re: Quicktime mpeg2 component and the 64 bit question
From what I've read the operating system is still 64bit and applications still run in 64bit but the kernal and extensions are 32bit. You can still access and utilise over 4GB of RAM (something you can't do in a 32bit OS) but your unable to fully utilise the 32GB of RAM that the xServes use with their 64bit kernal. Some of the newer machines are actually capable of booting and running the 64bit kernal and you can force them to do this if you know what your doing but all of the extensions will have to be 64bit to achieve this.

Re: Quicktime mpeg2 component and the 64 bit question
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=4712 Some Macs with 64-bit processors won’t be able to load the 64-bit kernel because they have a 32-bit EFI. The seed notes explain which Macs can boot into a 64-bit kernel and drivers by default (Xserve), and which ones are only “capable” — meaning you have to hold down the 6 and 4 keys at boot.

Re: Quicktime mpeg2 component
Hi Brian, In Snow Leopard, System Preferences no longer has a QuickTime preference pane, even if you install QuickTime Player 7. One reason this might be of particular concern is that in Leopard, this pane is where you would enter your registration code for QuickTime Pro if you purchased it. So, if you already had a QuickTime Pro license but performed an Erase and Install (meaning the existing license may not be automatically detected and transferred during the upgrade), you might wonder how you go about registering in order to reactivate your QuickTime Pro features! No worries: to do this, open QuickTime Player 7 (in /Applications/ Utilities) and then choose QuickTime Player 7 Registration.
