Hi Steve,

Maybe we should all promote this feature:

A login is required and I have no idea if powers that be actually take  
votes into account, but maybe :)

Yes QuickTime 7 will vanish eventually but not until they add
functionality to QT X - at least that's what I got from this really
long Ars Technica article:

Interesting stuff, when I get a chance I will explore this functionality to see 
what it means in practice - probably similar to how it works on the iphone.

QuicktimeX in Snow Leopard is likely to elicit mixed feelings. It delivers a 
slicker experience but at the expense of functionality, some old formats and 
features are no longer supported, and in the browser flash still has an edge 
with its fullscreeen abilities.

The export functions in QuicktimeX have been dumbed down considerably, and 
further cement Youtubes position by including a direct publish to youtube 
feature. 

For users who require configurable export and other stuff, Quicktime 7 is still 
available for Snow Leopard, can be installed on demand, but I assume it will 
eventually vanish from the scene.

Cheers
