Publisher's description of QuickTime 7.0.2

From Apple:

Just launch QuickTime Player, and there's no telling where you're likely to land. The Player may whisk you to the Moon or perhaps to an exotic location on this planet. Take you on a virtual field trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Or treat you to the latest news, movie trailers, music videos, HBO series or PBS specials.

That's because QuickTime 7 Player takes advantage of the latest video compression technology. It's called H.264, and it's an important new industry standard that's quickly garnered widespread support. Chosen as the industry-standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), MPEG-4 HD-DVD and Blu-ray, H.264 represents the next generation of video for everything from mobile multimedia to high-definition playback. H.264 icon.

The new QuickTime 7 Player not only delivers startling quality, but it's easier to use than ever. It requires no set up for content that streams over the network. Instead, QuickTime 7 Player automatically determines your system's connection speed and chooses the highest quality stream for the amount of bandwidth you have available. And if you ever lose a connection while watching streaming video, QuickTime 7 Player automatically reconnects. Now, that's convenience.

Do you think great video deserves great audio? We do, too. And QuickTime 7 Player delivers truly outstanding multi-channel audio. In fact, it provides you with up to 24 channels of audio, turning your home office into a home theater. Pop in a movie or video game that features surround sound and prepare to be amazed at the heightened audio experience you'll enjoy on your computer equipped with surround-sound speakers. A really good sport, QuickTime 7 Player supports a wide-range of industry-standard audio formats, including AIFF, WAV, MOV, MP4 (AAC only) and AAC/ADTS.

• "Now playing in High Definition: QuickTime 7"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: QuickTime 7.0.2

After 10 years and with millions of users worldwide, Apple's QuickTime player still provides one of the best solutions for digital media. Whether you're watching streaming movie trailers online or diving headlong into QuickTime as a creation platform, you'll find little to quibble about in this veteran player. Its few quirks are quickly offset by the elegant Apple interface and the top-notch audio/video playback quality.

QuickTime 7 comes in two varieties. The free standard player handles popular audio, graphic, and video formats, including the much-ballyhooed H.264 and MPEG-4. Also, for $29.95, you can upgrade to the content-creation-friendly Pro version, which adds features such as full-screen playback, easy editing, H.264/MPEG-4 production, and the ability to save movies from the Web. MPEG-2 support is available, but at an additional cost of $19.95.

High-definition content looks impressive with the new H.264 codec, but hardly better than with similar offerings from Microsoft. The stylish transport controls and the friendly layout work well. Inclusion of the autoupdate and automatic-network-detection features make getting started and staying current easy.

Overall, QuickTime 7 continues to be a must-have for anyone surfing the Web or looking to experience the best in digital media.

  "Nice update."

  by trumpetman1433 on July 16, 2006

  Pros: The newer versions have added a nicer, more user-friendly UI. It's free though they have an optional upgrade. Needed for a lot of online Videos and other media.

  Cons: You can download quicktime alternative, which will allow WMP to act in place of this, still a nice media player to add to the collection.

  "App you must have, seems perhaps less stable"

  by pentium4forever on June 5, 2006

  Pros: A must have to view many types of videos including movie trailers from apple.com. I've viewed larger videos, higher resolutions I mean and had the app freeze up several times. Overall it's pretty good but certainly not perfect.

  "Crisp And Clear"

  by Mike98 on April 19, 2006

  Pros: Easy to install and uninstall via iTunes combined download. I downloaded and installed QuickTime 7.0.4 with iTunes 6 from the apple website. QuickTime is the best media player I know. It is much better than Windows Media Player, which often plays with standstill video and creaking sound. I don't know why QuickTime has never urned the Designed for Windows XP logo, because I have never had a problem with it during the three years I use it for playing the movie trailers on the apple website.
