Morning All,
Part II
After many hours in the wee morn I have installed Tigger on PB 17"
1.5 1gb Mem 128mb video.
Yes their are issues with QT7, some I have answers and some I still
trying to replicate.
So, I am searching to replicate QT7 problems with Tigger specifically
on PB, I have access to Dual G4's with 10.3.9 installed and some
friends with various configurations.
If you could supply info of Problem, relevant URL etc, I will test
and research problem then report.
The one thing I am seeing in QT7 is it does not download or start to
play videos or streamed media as quickly as Panther with QT6.5, this
I am not sure if it is a Safari issue, will investigate further. Also
the download of said files seems to be slower also??
QT7 does seem to put extreme strain on systems, but it is also
attempting to take the next step on the moon. All those years ago
when codecs for DV and Firewire emerged their was some serious
issues, same again we all need to help to make the next step smooth
and sooner.

Hi WAMUGgers
I've just read these two reports on maced mailing list. Has anyone
else had troubles with QT7 installation please?

Just be aware that apple have broken Quicktime7. All mic inputs
(builtin and
USB) have a problem in all applications. The audio is broken and
garbled, if
it works at all. Its broken so much there is even a Quicktime7 un-
installer
on the apple updates page.
Problems of mic inputs not sure, but I suspect from visiting a few
sites during the early morning it is people attempting to run QT7 in
HD mode with below specification machinery. HD and H264 require some
serious hardware to utilise even in playback. Now me sees why Xgrid
is a very serious player in a digital studio environment, to encode
and render behemoth of files.
Un-installer:- This is for those whom have upgrade QT whilst still in
10.3.x, but the un-installer is for 10.3.9 only. So, this is causing
a few problems as people are not reading relevant information.
Well after spending the most part of the day in backup land and
clean install of Tigger on friends PB 17" 2004 vintage. I spent the
last 2 and a half hours editing and compositing, with audio
external mike and internal mike plus recordings off DV tape which
has been processed through Audacity and arranged edited for 5.1 via
AC3 in Soundtrack. Just outputting into DVDSP all seems to be
playing through simulator ( cannot wait to be able to do Dolby
direct and output via sim to 6.1 sound system on the run)
Formatting and Build are done it is burnt, off to lounge room to
test yep all works. So, not a problem here yet FCP, DVDSP,
Soundtrack, Audacity, and QT7Pro on Tigger via a PB cooking with Gas.

Reports from a local school indicate that installing QT7 stuffs
Kid Pix 4.
Check company website, could be an issue they know about and have
solved or are solving. I found this with Stuffit and Cocktail,
relevant fixes already their and Diskwarrior too.
And when you use the Apple uninstaller to go back to QT 6.5, Kid
Pix is
still stuffed!
If you have 10.3.9 only, any other version this will happen.
Do not use, although one thing I did notice with Tigger is the
longer it is running the little bugs and niggles disappear and as
for QT7 have not played with it much except in mentioned
recordings. Which are external sounds for background noise with
voice overs via PB mike. One would assume these are QT7 intense,
the MPEG2 compiled a little quicker than the Panther powered PB,
not sure but I think quality too, have to play more to check this.
So, many options with QT not sure where to go, oh MPEG 2 QT Player
for 6 works in 7 so do not purchase a new one it is same unit.
I'd suggest giving QT7 a miss for now.
Each too their own, but thus far no probs for me!
I would suggest to leave QT7 alone unless going to Tigger. HD mode in
QT7 requires some serious hardware, I think a lot of people are under
impression it will work on antique machinery. Tigger itself seems to
activate system CPU and Memory similar to Linux, but it is more
efficient than Panther.
One really cool feature is dictionary as standard, highlight word
then command + control + D and their ya go.
Off to get some sleep!
Cheers!
