QuickTime 7 comes with increased quality in the form of the H.264 video format, the industry-standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), MPEG-4 HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
H.264 offers high quality video at much smaller file sizes than previously available, and can handle mobile multimedia and high-definition playback.
Upgrade to the Pro version and you can create your own H.264, MPEG-4, 3GPP and 3GPP2 content which, combined with its impressive open source server, offers functionality that's hard to beat.
The interface has changed little in version 7, but there is a new Favourites menu that provides quick access to your favourite movies.
There is also a new feature known as 'instant on' which eliminates the short delay before a stream starts, and it does work. Also, you can now scroll backwards and forwards through a movie.
All the previous media types are supported, including AVI, Mpeg, BMP and Flash 5.
Note: Mac OS X version available to download from the Apple QuickTime website.

Quick Time Tasks
Rather worrying is being infected with a very damaging spyware called CWS QTTasks Hijacker which takes over the browser and is very difficult to kill.I see there is a file in my Quick Time called qttasks.Is this an important part of Quick Time or is this where the hijacker is hiding?

Not good for W2K
Despite listing W2K as an OS supported, this download fails "requires Windows XP".
Seems the download on Apple is also WXP only. And the one in iTunes fails to install. And now ITunes will not work without QT. Good work Apple!
