    ok patched. no problemas so far. ahh... feels smoother, if only because it is 7.0.1 not 7.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0

    Why is there only the vaguest information about what this update contains besides the security patch? I know this update contains more than that. A real changelog would be nice!

    If you have a DVD rip (or any other video) with two audio tracks, you still can't uncheck one track then save it - comes up with an error message. This would be really useful to do as I don't want to open a movie and listen to both the normal movie audio and commentary tracks.

    I think you can't uncheck the audio becuase it's muxed in MPEG 2. You might want to look for an MPEG 2 demuxer.

    It's a H.264/AAC movie, I can uncheck the audio and play it without that audio track, it just wont allow me to save it that way.

    The description in SoftwareUpdate says something about Quicktime 5 or 6 users won't be able to use QuicktimePro features. I remember seeing an article about getting QuicktimePro 6 working with a key under Tiger along-side of Quicktime 7. This update might disable that 'loophole.' At least that's what I interpreted that to mean.
