Sprinter,

I would encourage you to not miscommunicate information...I assure you Apple is not phasing out Quicktime. Every single one of those music players comes with a copy of Quicktime -- for Windows and Macintosh -- there is considerable development effort being spent on Quicktime.

For clarification Quicktime is a media container and a set of API's for dealing with media and codecs NOT a video codec. There are numerous video codecs which are supported as part of Quicktime -- some of which are appropriate for web media and some which are better suited to production video.

I will not get into the religious discussion as it's just not helpful ... but I will take issue with the misinformation being spread. Please get your facts right.

Quicktime has been transfered from the MAC development center to the I Pod development group. Any new devopment is strickley for I Pod use.

I guess it's part of the new music companies direction.

But the code developed there is being used across the entire product spectrum, and even for hardware that Apple doesn't make. ...Dave Dave Jones Design

Sprinter, You are completely wrong with your facts in reagrds to Quicktime. Quicktime remains part of the OS technology for Apple (organizationally and otherwise) and is heavily invested in. Please keep opinions as opinions and, if you are going to speak "facts", please make don't make them up. --Brett
