Often, Quicktime updates coincide with iTunes updates. Since we know that the 3G iPhone will require iTunes 7.7, we suspect that’s what the “application compatibility” refers to. Apple recommends this release for all QuickTime 7 users. Note that a restart is required.
A whole post for just an update? To me it’s more than an update, this version of QT is the best I ever used! Playback is flawless, and loading is super fast.I gave it my hardest to play HD videos, and while I was used to that choppy playback of the previous versions, I had nothing with this one.Fantastic update! Or maybe is it thanks to Leopard who knows…Â
All the OS X applications that play videos are updated. Get them from your Software Update menu.. 10.5.2 is close.. I feel it!
This security issue was detected first on Windows versions of the QuickTime Player, now it has been confirmed on OS X.
It is highly advised not to use the RTSP protocol unless you’re sure about the source.
When you open a .gif file just by double clicking on it, preview opens the file by default and the result isn’t interesting at all: a list of thumbnails in the drawer.
To watch .gif animations I have set QuickTime player to handle all of them on my computer.

A52Codec has been updated a few days ago, so I take this as an opportunity to advise all QT users for the plugins they need to make almost all the formats work in their player. No need to install a single plugin more than this list (but for professionals who are working on other video formats).
First step: DELETE DivX Codec!
Delete all the plugins you added to your QT (but those I’ll list):
This is a present from Mac Amour to all its visitors, it’s Perian 1.0b2, you can download it from HERE.
Perian enables QuickTime® application support for additional Media Types including:
* AVI and FLV
* 3ivX, DivX, Flash Screen Video, MS-MPEG4, Sorenson H.263, Truemotion VP6, and Xvid
* AVI support for: AAC, AC3 Audio using A52Codec, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3
Perian 1.0b2 supports .mkv and is a bit faster to me.You can get the version 0.5 from Perian website.
You can see all supported formats here.
And I also advise you to take a look at the Google Discussion.
Apple has added Xvid to its online QuickTime Components list. The Xvid-for-QuickTime component, allows you to play and encode Xvid video. Apple states:
The Xvid component for QuickTime allows users to play & encode Xvids in QuickTime Player. Xvid is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 standard.
In theory, this means that the Apple TV could also support Xvid video playback.
