Even with the few improvements in QuickTime X under Lion, I still need QuickTime 7.6 Pro. Apparently, only Windows needed the 7.6 to 7.7 update since the changes are all to fix Win security issues. I didn't find any indication of enhanced functionality in 7.7 so I think I am up-to-date with 7.6 Pro on Lion.
- The ability to check for the presence of a timecode track. (Especially important given that FCP7 loves to randomly not lay one down)
- The ability to mark out a segment from one video, and create a new video file from the clipboard and save it.
- The ability to have the controller out of the way.
QT7 is a lightweight workhorse that makes my life a lot easier. QTX is simply not used.
These, plus the ability to play two videos at once, more or less in sync, essential for previewing left/right camera views for stereo 3D. I couldn't do without QT 7 Pro, actually.
I'm glad to hear from flowney that it still works in Lion.
Why wouldn't it? I dunno, the loss of Final Cut 7 support has made me a bit paranoid about Apple's benevolence where QuickTime is concerned.
They also released a Canon Printer Driver update that also fixed the 'pause for no reason - can't print multiple pages' in Snow Leopard. Firewire still doesn't work.
Snow Leopard is on it's way to being a decent release.
Apple on Wednesday issued QuickTime 7.7 for Windows and Mac OS X Leopard, as well as a batch of driver updates for printers and scanners from Samsung, HP and Brother.
Does anybody really use quicktime for much anymore? I clicked on a video yesterday, and I was informed that I do not have quicktime installed. I watch many, many web videos every day, and I can't remember the last time I was so informed. In fact, I had forgotten that I uninstalled it last time I updated iTunes (I ripped out every bit of Apple software on my computer in an attempt to get iTunes to work properly).
Maybe Apple should just retire quicktime for good. It is such an unused format, it just sits around taking up hard drive space, and because it wants to load crap at boot, it also takes up RAM and makes the system boot slower. I never really knew that I was missing quicktime until yesterday.

I have a suggestion for you. Read the comments that preceded yours.

You have absolutely no idea what QuickTime is.
