I've just installed Quicktime 6.02 (for the second time). Every time I attempt to play an MPEG 4 movie, my computer locks up. Sometimes it happens almost immediately, sometimes after 10-15 seconds, or when I try to stop playback. It doesn't seem to exhibit this problem with movies using other codecs (ie Sorensen, Cinepac, etc.) It happens both when streaming on-line and when playing back an off-line movie. The telltale sign of an impending crash is stuttering audio. Then it locks up and I have to to a forced restart.
Originally I just installed it over top of Quicktime 5. When I noticed the problem, I uninstalled everything and did a fresh install of Quicktime 6.02 - same situation. Have done the usual troubleshooting stuff using extensions manager and Conflict Catcher. Any ideas? Quicktime 5 works like a charm, but many current movies (particularly on web sites) are using the MPEG 4 codec and I'd really like to keep up with the times. Has anyone had success running QT6 with OS 9.1? S900 w/NewerTech G4/400 card 784 MB RAM OS 9.1 ATI VR128 video card etc. -- Gregg -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
