How to revert to earlier version of Quicktime

[bslanger]

I was using a slideshow program - Motion Pictures HD, which comes free with Toast.
It is different in that there are up to 4 photos on the screen at once.  Now that the Quicktime
has been updated, the program can no longer export files without a quicktime error.  This has been
common for all users of the program with the latest version of Quicktime.  The solution is revert to an earlier
version of Quicktime, specifically 7.1.3.  Problem is, I can't find that anywhere.  I can't get it off older
system CDs either without going through tons of steps.  Anyone know how to revert to earlier version
of QT easily?  Brian

The maker of the software for slideshows created a patch, so this glitch is now fixed.

A little late, I guess...but if anyone else needs the same info you could try http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime.  I'll be doing this shortly in an effort to solve an issue with iView not opening 10,000+px images due to a difficult to track down conflict between the latest version of Quicktime and the latest version of the nVidia drivers.

Andris,

If you solve this problem please let us know.  I have a different problem.  iView aborts anytime I attempt to drag thumbnails using the latest nVidia drivers.  I reported this problem to nVidia and they pointed me to Apple.  I then decided to just go back to an earlier version of the drivers, but would like to see this fixed either by nVidia or Apple.  nVidia has since released a later verson of thier drivers 163.44, but still no fix.  I'm running with an 8800GTS card.

Hi Dan, still no solution to the irritating iView/QuickTime/nVidia problem...(see my thread here for the whole story http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php?topic=2347.0).  I tried older versions of QuickTime and nVidia drivers, but this didn't seem to solve the problem.  Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to devote to it...lots of images to work on last week in the studio and I didn't want to risk making my system too unstable.  Hopefully I'll get a few hours to play with the legacy drivers next week.

There's definitely some strangeness going on between nVidia, Quicktime and iView, though.  I just installed latest QuickTime, iView, and nVidia drivers on a brand new system at home, and was unable to get iView to open catalogs that work just fine on other machines. I set the QuickTime advanced prefs to use safe mode (GDI only), and this solved the problem.  Strange, though, never had to do this before.

Andris,

Here is my thread on this problem.  Looks like it's a Quicktime problem under Windows.
nVidia says it's not their problem, but it was an nVidia driver change that is causing QT to abort.  They need to stop pointing fingers and fix the problem.
