Apple's QT Trailer site even. If it's got QuickTime content on the page, a spinning beachball is the result, causing me to force quit Safari.
Anyone care to help me troubleshoot this issue? I recently did an Archive and Install, but I've thrown all the QT plug-ins into the new system folder that I can find.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It seems it's not happening on all pages with Quicktime. Either way, I still can't get it to load the QT trailers page without a beachball.
Additionally I'm quite sure I posted this in the wrong forum : \

It's a QuickTime 7 specific problem, rather than a Tiger one.
Back when I was running Panther, I downgraded to QuickTime 6 for just this reason; every single movie (MPEG, MOV, whatever) displayed using the QuickTime 7 browser plugin causes a beachball for an indeterminate amount of time, freezing Safari completely and even causing the rest of the system to slow down (shades of OS9!). Occasionally Safari will never thaw out and you have to force quit it.
I held off on Tiger for months, and when I did finally install it, I was hoping that it would have been fixed. But, as you can see for yourself, it's still broken.
Sorry I cannot offer actual advice, just wanted to write about something that's bothered me for a while that I haven't got around to doing anything about.
Ooh, and also, if you use tabs, you can't use the spacebar to play/pause movies anymore either. You have to first use your mouse, to at least click somewhere on the movie itself, before the space bar will do anything.

I had Tiger 10.4.3 AND QT 7.0.3, and it was all working properly. I had to do an archive and install and then it stopped working. I even made sure I had everything in order in /Library/Quicktime and in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
This is goofy, I got laughed at today by a peecee user. "Your computer company made QuickTime and you can't view it?!"

I dunno, Ice. I've not encountered any problems on my G5 iMac like that. The only app that is slow as crap is System Prefs. That thing is dog slow!

I also notice that some sites refuse to load their mpeg content like some porn sites off thehun. it's bad I tell ya, baaad. So the force-quit comes to mind. I also have Tiger 10.4.3 and QuickTimePro(latest version)
