Hi WAMUGgers

Quicktime 7 is now available for download via Software Update. It looks good.

Just don't expect to be able to play H264 movies on a G4 400   :-/

Oh, they load and pretend to play, but you can't see any action, just the first few frames before they sag and die...

For the first time, I truly cannot do everything I need with this machine. Time to go up, finally.

I have to report that the Quicktime HD trailers are absolutely gorgeous in 7. (Running on 10.3.9 at the moment.)

When I first viewed a regular DVD on my screen it was visibly pixellated and I was disappointed before I realized DVD are at most 720 pixels horizontal. However those previews I mentioned are HD at 1280 pixels wide. Also resizing the video window was extremely responsive, reminded me of Phil's demo's at the WWDC roadshow.

The Serenity preview even has a "1080" version which I haven't tried but I assume is 1920 pixels horizontal.


Cheers, Glen Low
