i love that its a really simple to use video editing suite. easy to copy and paste multiple videos with multiple codecs into one final file.
also one of the fastest rendering software i've used, lightning fast at converting an AVI to DivX or H.264. and that Quicktime Pro comes with DivX Pro at no extra cost (which is fairly expensive).
and that it takes up a miniscule amount of memory (7mb here) compared to other video players.
that you can record video and audio through it, instead of using the usual cheap badly translated apps that come with webcams.
AND the fact its the only H.264 (aka, teh uber new video format) exporter available to the public.
...and that it supports all the major video and audio codecs
"Quicktime movies always seem to be massive in size compared to WMAs or DivX's of the same quality."
I've found it to be quite the contrary, unless you're using Quicktime 6 (which only has H.263, the common old QT format) then DivX will be much better quality for the same bitrate. but with H.264 vs. DivX on the same bitrate; H.624 has a much higher quality. found this out when i did that Satansam trailer. i encoded the uncompressed AVI to DivX, WMV and H.264 at a bitrate of 1600kps. H.264 is the clear winner, WMV is extremely close and DivX just couldn't handle the dark colours.
WHATS THE BEST FOR STREAMING STUFF OVER THE INTERNET? QUICK TIME
ITS GREAT AND THE ONLY GOOD THING APPLE EVER DID IN MY OPINION
but FOR FUCK'S SAKE i fucking cant play some stuff and i have NO clue what i can do to get it working.
i thought somebody could help me and tell me what to do. that was my intention of that thread
You're missing a codec. Just download a codec pack or something.
I usually download the Nimo Codec Pack, but that was a while ago it might be a bit outdated, not sure. Look for it on google.
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
yeh i am using Nimo's Codec Pack (i got the latest version)
and i also have the latest version of win media player so win media player can play stuff fine but it was never able to play quick time movies so well quick time needs some codec BUT i cant get it because its not available on their server. where can i get quick time codecs?
hmm well you cant really pause stuff or go back or anything
a quicktime movie can stream or you pause it and the whole movie will download and you can play it then and go back and stuff. thats cool
nullsoft streams dont work like that
I use quicktime only when I have to. I like good ol' Windows Media Player.
Quicktime does have some nice editing features though, I guess, sorta, not really.
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.

I've got this good program called Gspot that tells you the codec that a movie needs.
haha could you please give me the url so that i can download Gspot
i bet you can imagine the results i get when i google for gspot
its not like i am not fine with those results but thats not what i am looking for
OH and it clear things. i REALLY love quick time. i think EVERYBODY should use quick time on the internet. i fucking HATE real player and i HATE EVERYBODY that uses real player so I LOVE people that use quick time but i sucks when i cant play quick time movies
