But I also paid Apple (online, on their website) $30 for Quicktime Pro, and I remember typing in a key they gave me somewhere to update my copy of QuickTime to Pro. So if 6.5.2 isn't QuickTime Pro, then what is it, and WHERE is it? When I click the Quicktime icon in the dock, up pops the QuickTime Player, and "About QuickTime Player" shows it to be 6.5.2.
That *is* your QT pro. The only difference between QT Player and QT Pro is that after you type in that number, you can save and edit files in the player application*.
Also, all the requisite functionality is there in the QT libs to enable this stuff, so, in theory someone could write a program that allowed you to edit and save files... there is a freeware video editor for QT files out there, I forget what it's called, but it's really simple, it'll let you combine, cut and save various QT filetypes, but not as handily as QT Pro.
You didn't mention that you had paid for QTP, sorry to have confused you.
*for the truly cheapskate in us, a not-so-well-known fact is that older versions of the QT Player (those made before the advent of QT Pro) WILL let you edit and save any files the newest QT libraries will handle, at least up to the limit of stuff that runs under Classic.
And if you have a collection of old MacAddict disks ;-) you have the installer for that old version (I think it's either QT2 or 3) in your collection.
IAC, m4p are Freeplay protected ITMS files, and you can't just convert them with QT, you have to use iTunes, so the 'burn and rip' method is the only way to get an .aiff out of them.
However, you wanted to bring them into iMovie. That works as a straight import, so long as the files are in your iTunes library: (I don't know if this works with FC, though I'd be quite surprised if it didn't)
from the QT 6.2 readme:
"Using QuickTime 6.2 with other applications
* iMovie 3
If you encode your own .m4a (AAC encoded audio) files or bring .m4p (AAC Protected audio) from another computer you will be unable to use the Import command in iMovie 3. Bring the files into iTunes first. They can then be accessed via the audio pane in iMovie 3. "
Since this was when they introduced the format in QT, this isn't mentioned for QT 6.5, but I'd be really surprised if they'd removed that capability; integration with your iTunes and iPhoto libraries is a selling point of iMovie 3.
