Quicktime updates

[billseymour]

A question occurred to me just after accepting a Quicktime update recently:

Since I assume iView is not undergoing any further product development (due to EM), what is the risk of accepting a Quicktime update and finding that iView no longer functions? It occurred to me that Quicktime is evolving with new versions, but iView is now 'static'.

I don't know anything about how iView uses Quicktime, so maybe the question is moot.

The adage- 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' - is fine for iView itself, but change is occurring in Quicktime, upon which iView relies.

Bill -

I have started wondering about that as well.  About three iTunes/Quicktime upgrades ago my iTunes messed up all of my music library - fortunely I was able to fix things.  I have started thinking about not accepting upgrades since I realy do nto have tiem to fix problems generated by updates.  On the other hand maybe the update fixes problems.  Like you said there is always something to worry about.

Just opening up this thread for a sec-

I am being pestered to update Quicktime (in connection with iTunes).

Can anyone tell me the latest Quicktime that works with iView?

My concern continues to be that iView is not being updated over time- so at some point, a Quicktime update may render iView unusuable.

I currently use Quicktime v 7.2

Thanks- Bill

My installation versions:

MediaPro 3.1.3
QT 7.3

Works!

Dierk-

Appreciate the quick reply- good- Quicktime 7.3.1.3 is OK (I am using same version of iView as you).

I see that the current Quicktime version offered by Apple is v7.4.
Anyone using this latest version of QT with iView (iView Pro 3.1.3)?

Thanks- Bill

I'm using QT 7.4 with IV 3.1.3 and haven't seen any problems...yet. I'm on a Mac.

There is a recent thread around here where someone spotted a Windows issue that had to do with naming and I believe that had to do with QT 7.4. You might look into that.

Well, here's something:    http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php?topic=2903.0
