Just for those who aren't aware of it, any time you've got a text box
where the text changes, such a in the timer in the softcon dvd
player, the download progress in safari, and yes, even the time
display in quicktime, you'll get a clicking sound. This is to let
you know the field text has changed. If you are downloading a large
file, this is a nice indication that your file is still on the way,
and not locked up. You can use the clicking sound also on timers to
keep track of how long is left for a selection. I.E. in the softcon
dvd player, some selections that are extras on the disc are very
short. If you have the display set to tell you how long is left, you
can count the clicks until there's only a couple of seconds left,
then arrow up to go to the next selection. I find the clicks very
useful, though I agree, in quicktime perhaps it's not strictly
necessary, but all you need do is move the vo cursor off the time
field and that problem goes away. I tend to rest it on the fast
forward button, so I can skip over parts quickly that aren't of
interest, and there is no clicking when I do this.
Just thought this may be of use to some who hadn't figured out what
the clicking sound was.
