More Quicktime problems

Well the new Quicktime 7.4.1 patch has been released, as it fixes the previous compatibility problems it introduces some new problems. One of them prevents Quicktime from creating m4v files. So if you use the Export for web feature or try to export for Apple TV it won't work. Though these problems seem to only be linked with Tiger, Leopard seems unaffected by these bugs.

Quicktime 7.4 Troubles

For any of those who haven't upgraded to the new Quicktime 7.4...DON'T!!! The new Quicktime 7.4 updates brings lots of problems and compatibility issues, especially for After Effects users!

Also one problem I've been having is my coworkers who upgraded their Quicktime app can't seem to view any of the movies I've exported out of Motion. One solution we had around this was using the export for web option, for some reason they were able to view these movies.

For now we will just have to wait for the new patch update, hopefully coming out soon...
