QuickTime Player 7 just appeared as an available update in the Software Update app on this install
of Mac OS X 10.3.9 on my beige Power Macintosh G3 tower system. so I'm downloading it now.

(I'm surprised Apple didn't take the opportunity to release a v5.0 for iTunes as well . . . )

SeaMonkey = Swiss Army Knife: It's versatile, reliable, and contains useful tools.
Windows Internet Explorer = Old Swiss Cheese: Full of holes, and it stinks!

Anyone else with OSX 10.3.9 have trouble with this download. It just kind of froze my Quicktime app and ITunes. Luckily I'll be re-installing Panther while switching Hard Drives (Thanks for the advice Anthony), but I'd like to download it after that too. Just wondering if anyone else ran into a glitch.

Here is a SillyDog701 showcase of the incredible H.264 video compression technology in the MPEG-4 standard. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. H.264 can match the best possible MPEG-2 quality at up to half the data rate.

The following Antony Desktop in Action, part 4 is encoded in H.264 codec.


(You will need QuickTime 7 Player to play the movie. 905KB)

The same movie is also encoded in a popular format for non-QuickTime 7 users. The file size is 1.38MB. Please see this post for more detail.
