need info,

i have a new macbook pro 17"

i'm trying to file 'save as' several free online tutorials that include H.264 video codec.

does the quicktime that comes with tiger support these files?

i get an error msg and they won't play after downloading.

does anyone know the solution to this?

must i upgrade to quicktime pro to run these movies on my laptop?

thanks for any help.

Everything you need to know is here Apple - QuickTime - QuickTime Player

You need Quicktime PRO to save web files.

Yeah, you need QT Pro if you want to save them directly. Otherwise you need to find the physical URLs and download them manually (PITA).

Is there anything like QuickTime Alternative for Mac? It lets you save QT files for free on Windows.

Not that I know of, but there are various workarounds found in this macoxhints thread. It's really a PITA by design without QT Pro. I suppose someone could write a PodTube type application for QT, but I don't see any at the moment.

Have you tried QTAmateur?
