50...........

when you install it, you tell it what to associate with. just like every other media player out there. windows does the same thing. it tries to do everything...mp3, midi etc

because you dont bother to tell it not to...

And you expect a neanderthal end user to understand this?

yep, and it piss's me off. fuck it

just where do you tell it not 2 load?

It's not in the start up...

There is a settings menu if you look thorughly. Not easily found though..

They dont make it easy but there is a startup setting in there :helpme

I have been using Quicktime almost exclusively on my sites for over five years, and with tens of thousands of customers I have only received maybe 15-20 complaints, and nearly all of those issues were resolved quickly (a few neanderthal users were beyond help).

Still, I plan to begin providing movies in other formats as well, now that I have a program (AutoDesk Cleaner) which will batch process my movies into multiple formats automatically.

Discreet products kick ass :thumbsup

Discreet is pretty good:)
Pretty valuable tool.

But it does not resolve the nuisance at hand.

actually i have.. many times.
yet it still manages to come back.

I use it when it's appropriate...

I like WMV and then Quicktime.

You mean these retards? They join our Mac site and convert at 1:40 all day long:

I edit ALL My videos on my Mac, and NONE of them are QT format... so there goes your theory out the window...

And... Final Cut Pro doesn't come with any Apple that I know of... :2 cents:

Can you encode WMV on a mac?

The retards that are forced to use QT from sites not giving them another choice. Okay, shoot me.

my guess is the ones using Macs

Not sure if Final Cut Pro has it as an option, but Autodesk Cleaner will export in .wmv format.

I do for movie trails on quicktime.com

Cleaner 6 is a great product; however it has not been updated since 2002, unless you count the 2003 beta. Any of you Mac people use Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 Compression Suite? I've been looking into it since development on Cleaner seems dead.

Haha


Well, I use it because I use HD video and the conversion into .mov is easy. Does Windows offer a free WMV HD Player?

Everytime I put it in WMV, it looks terrible. QT seems to look amazing.

Genius
:thumbsup :thumbsup

Quicktime (the player) fucking stink, it's so, bloated. The format itself is not that bad... I do use quicktime alternative but I can't play Mpeg4 with it... :helpme

Try out the latest Media Player Classic, I only use QTA for .mov :)

<hahahahahahahahaRetard. ;)

And yes, you can encode .wmv's on a mac using Cleaner. You can encode into any format on a Mac using Cleaner.

;)

J.

If you go to your Start Menu, click Run and type in msconfig, then click the tab that says Startup you will find that it is indeed in your startup. Just uncheck qttask, click apply, then OK.

This could all be avoided if you follow the advice I gave in my earlier post to not install the QuickTime player and instead install QuickTime Alternative :2 cents:

I've been telling folks that here forever :upsidedow

You should be able to add the Mpeg4 codec to your favored media player.

The problem with quicktime isnt the format its the cocksuckers that make it own all your fucking file associations without askin you or anything.

specially the associations it doesnt play well....Its a recurring problem for many of my members I still get emails asking when I changed to quicktime format...I have to explain that the asswipes at quicktime did it to them, I didn't then I tell them how to fix it so QT isnt the default.

I think the quicktime people did themselves more harm than good with that shit.

Pay for more shit on a MAC :thumbsup

yes, using Cleaner

great post.
