Apparently, Quicktime Player is supposed to show video controls when you "Window --> Show A/V Controls" or type CMD-K. You should get a control panel with Audio, Playback, and Video controls. But on my installation (10.3.9) I don't get the video controls, only the Audio and Playback controls. Any ideas?

I figured this one out at the Apple store by playing with a variety of machines. It appears that the A/V controls are only available in Tiger, and then only if the video card supports it. For example, they don't appear in Quicktime Player on my 1.5GHz 12" Powerbook running Panther, but they do appear on the same Powerbook running Tiger.

Yep, it's done through CoreVideo. More annoyingly strange, though, is the fact that it only works on MOV files.

Works for me with both AVI and WMV files (with the right codecs installed, of course). Are you using Quicktime Pro?

Nope. It doesn't ask me to, either, though.
