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. 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 7.1.5
Pros: ?
Cons: in order view videos you need to install a lot of codecs, otherwise it only plays quicktime movies. And even that doesnt work sometimes. I recommend VLC player.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.5
Pros: you might need it for some portable video players and to play mov files.
Cons: After installation Quicktime icon appears in systemtray and in quick launch. Changes default player to Quicktime, which I found most annoying.
A lof ot menus display letters "PRO" for functions, which are available if you upgrade it.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.5
"Serves only 1 purpose for me."
Pros: The majority of Hi-Def trailers are in Quicktime. The only thing I like is that I can see them. Why don't they do the HD trailers for Windows Media Player? It is possible since they made it with Spider-Man 3.
Cons: When you uninstall it... it leaves a real MESS in the Windows Registry. Pff. The progam also occupies a lot of space considering I almost never use it. I don't think I'll ever install it again unless they fix the UNINSTALL feature in order to leave the Registry clean after uninstalling it.

Version: QuickTime 7.1.5
Pros: I hate to disagree so much with the editor rating, but I have never liked quicktime, and never will. Sure, it serves its purpose, but why use this when there are so many other good players out there?
Who in their right mind would decide: I'm going to make a video file, I should make it a quicktime video. Every time I see a mov file, I feel like I'm getting pushed a little closer to the edge.
Cons: I guess that wasn't a pro. Oh well, I'll stop ranting now. To all PC users out there - please don't use quicktime. If we all stop using it, maybe it will go away!
