Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.
Publisher's description
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.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.3
Pros: I really love the new interface that makes resizing smoother, and that the controls are visible during full screen playback.
Also, many more of the tools available in a movie's Properties in QT Pro are explained much more clearly. As an amateur, there were a lot of "tweaks" that I didn't understand very well before, but the new version does a little better job of explaining what the choices mean, for an average editor like me. Even though I'm writing heavily about the Cons, I still would give this version 3 or 4 stars.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.3
Pros: Some things just got to be played with QuickTime, but there are loads of media players which can do the same thing.
It is very easy to install and use. It dose not have a lot of features but it good if you want to play back something. It installs some useful codec which are very valuable for your pc to play many things audio and video.
It provides you with good sound quality and good picture quality with is important.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.3
Pros: it is good unless your one of those stupid people that does not know how to shut off the hot picks movie that is enabled by default when you install quicktime as well as the system tray icon that is also enabled by default during installation all you have to do is go into the preferences and click the browser plugin tab and uncheck the box that says install system tray icon and thats easy it plays most mpeg1 files pretty well on my computer unless you are using a computer that is too old to handle quicktime very well and go into player preferences to disable the quicktime hot picks movie that automatically loads on starting up quicktime... and it does support .avi files just not Divx Avi files only regular avi files! I mean come on people get educated about how quicktime works!

Version: QuickTime 7.1.3
Pros: On of the most popular and famous media players, Its better than WMP or ROP. It also has a very important plug-in that many programs such as Axialis IconWorkshop needs its plug-in. I am using QuickTime since the 4 version.
