Lets hope the performance is less sucky.

Thinine · May 31, 2005, 01:40 PM

I think I'll test that right now.

Krypton · May 31, 2005, 01:54 PM

It may be my imagination, but playback does seem smoother than before.

MusicMan · May 31, 2005, 02:05 PM

Does it fix the bugs related to minimizing movie windows?

mdc · May 31, 2005, 02:12 PM

musicman, are you talking about the one that when you minimize a window, it won't come back?
if so, do you have two help menus in quicktime? if so, i think it is divx and not quicktime. take a look on the divx.com forums. they are talking about it there. and unfortunately, do not seem to have an eta on a new divx.

MusicMan · May 31, 2005, 02:15 PM

Yeah ... on both counts. I'll check out the DivX forums. Thanks.

From the Divx Forum:

I have an update on the QuickTime 7 issues.

It appears many of the bugs are caused by a memory limit in the QuickTime 7 MP3 decoder. Apple has kindly addressed this issue and will release the fix in the next version of QuickTime 7.

When that is exactly is unclear.

The QT 7.0.1 update seems to be nothing more than a security fix

Thinine · May 31, 2005, 02:50 PM

Playback does seem smoother for me (iBook 500, FFusion Xvid decoder) but it has fooled me before. I'll keep trying videos and see if my problems come back.

Rather large file size for a security fix.

Hmm. QT 7.0.1 isn't showing up in Software Update for me - have had the same problem with 10.4.1. Anyone else not getting updatey goodness?

headbirth · May 31, 2005, 03:48 PM

How's it's functionality in Safari. I know launching a stream in Safari would always cause a hang for me. EXTREMELY ANNOYING!

Kenneth · May 31, 2005, 04:58 PM

I can still see 2 Help menus.

according to the apple site:

QuickTime 7.0.1 fixes a known bug whereby the end user would "see" 2 Help menus;
this is more a function of the user and not the application itself.

Does anyone else have the problem that the stuffit archive for divx contains one empty folder? The download was 6 mb, but there is nothing there...

El Magnificante · Jul 10, 2005, 11:40 AM

I'm getting random beachballing when trying to play mpegs.

Can anyone walk me through reverting to an older version?
