There is now a QuickTime 7.0.4 Uninstaller posted that renders QuickTime at
7.0.1. I guess Apple released another Bomb on us!

now! Stop spreading FUD!; Like this Reply to this comment


by timstree_dotmac January 11, 2006 1:32 AM PST: I just installed 7.0.4 and QuickTime is now almost useless. I can't even get the
smallest of files to play without hesitating and stopping.

I had also bought a few TV shows in iTunes and they now barely play for a
second or two and just stop. What little I can see of them, they are also much
lower quality.

It feels like QuickTime has turned into Windows Media Player for the Mac.; Like this Reply to this comment
