QT files? Please - any format but QuickTime.
You can't handle MOVs? Standard video format for the industry??
I can handle them. I just hate them. I've had more backwards/
forwards
compatibility issues with QuickTime than any other software.
Always blame the software… :-)
As opposed to?
The dude who sets up the OS and attending software. Or the composer
of
the OS.
QT is pretty much the industry standard on multiple platforms in the
movie and TV worlds.
For anyone who doesn't know, Quicktime is kind of like Adobe Acrobat
in that you can get the player for free but you have to buy the
software for making Quicktime files (QuickTime Pro). A few years ago I
bought and paid for QuickTime Pro. A couple of years after that, when
my web browser would no longer play many QuickTime files because of
version compatibility issues, I decided to upgrade the QuickTime
player for my browser. During installation it informed me that the new
QuickTime player was incompatible with my version of QuickTime Pro and
to install it I would have to delete QuickTime Pro -- which I had
bought and paid for -- from my computer! (The unstated subtext was of
course that I would have to purchase the latest version of QuickTime
Pro.)
In the end I decided that I was quite happy to delete QuickTime Pro
and vowed never to have it on my computer again.
A feature that supports the tens of thousands of software engineers
and their families is the annual procedure that relegates previous
versions of either some software or hardware no longer compatible. You
must not resist!
Still, QT Pro was a pretty good bargain for the features it opened up
(30.00), which I will take advantage of when I have time to figure
them out. :-)

There is no off position to the genius switch.
Genius can, however, be observed as insanity.
