Don't take my word for it; try it for yourself. QuickTime 7 saves a 1080p trailer in 10 seconds; QuickTime X takes 3-5 minutes.
I'm not. I've been using both QT7 and QTX with SL since QTX was first released in the Betas. I have never had it take 30x as long as since SL was officially released QTX has been faster for encoding than QT7 ever was or could be due to HW acceleration. I use QTX often, nearly daily, for cropping video and only use QT7 now if I need to quickly join a few.
What are the specs of your system? Perhaps you are re-encoding with QTX but only changing out the container for .MOV in QT7 when saving.. That would explain the variance.
I just did a Save As QucikTime Movie in both versions with a 250MB 1080p music video. It took me 19secs in QT7 and 15secs in QTX. That is just for a container change from MP4 to MOV while keeping the same codecs.

That's really interesting. I was sure my 8600M GT needed a driver update to take advantage of anything more than 2.1 because I kept failing the 3.1 test so I thought the extensions were there but just couldn't be used. I guess the driver was included in the update.
This is not at all normal. You have something else going on. To start, I'd suggest creating a new user and seeing if the problems persist in that account.
The symptoms I have are all over the internet forums. I would expect everyone at the AI forum to tell me they have never heard of such problems because I suspect that admitting you have a computer problem is like asking for directions at a gas station. I'm not lost honey! It's a shortcut!
I wiped the HD and did a clean install so there should be no need to create any new accounts or delete any preference files. They should all be clean and new right?
I have to go to work now so I will play with my Mac later. All I can say is that before upgrading I never had any issues, so I think hardware issues are unlikely. With plain Leopard everything worked perfectly. Gosh, now I sound like an AI forum poster!

When u say snappier, what do u mean? whats faster?
anyone that's downloaded the update can answer this question
Thanks

I can't find a page on Apple's Website for downloading the Combo-Update. Does anyone know where to find it?

Dang, you've beaten me to it... Anyway, thanks
but what about the Macbook Pro updates!?!1!
30X longer? You seriously expect anyone to believe that?
Don't take my word for it; try it for yourself. QuickTime 7 saves a 1080p trailer in 10 seconds; QuickTime X takes 3-5 minutes.

It's just a "snappier" joke around here, nothing serious.
Oh wait!

QT X likely uses Grand Central and we all know splitting up a small job to many cores is actually slower than doing it on one core.
Likely the time savings come into play with bigger files.
Here's the program, also.

Just bookmark support.apple.com/downloads
They've been posting to that page for years.
In case anyone was wondering where the OS's OGL support was at now:

Mine takes too long ...
But Preview remains broken. Sigh.
Could you elaborate?
Hope it works.
I'm sure it will. Macs ALWAYS just work.

What do you mean REMAINS broken? Preview is one feature I rely on and use on an hourly basis and I have never found it to be lacking. Pray tell.

Thanks for your good wishes.

Not only Macs but iPads, AppleTVs, and Magic Mouse- ANYTHING by Apple justs works!
