You mean like reinstalling Tiger and updating only to QT 7.0.3?!

This is huge news!

Excellent, because it was annoying to only get half the video with a scrolling message saying it will only play half the video etc etc

I tried removing the DivX plugins, but there's apparently no conflict there. Anyone else with the problem?

Crashed QT7.0.4 after I saved it as a .mov, played ok though

The Flip4Mac forums make mention of the issue with QuickTime 7.0.4:

Worth waiting for, since even though it does crash when quitting, it still loads files that Media Player itself seemed to have trouble with.

Same here.

I'll watch something in QT via Flip then quit QT and I get a QT unexpectedly quit message. I haven't figured out how to make the browser plug-in work yet.

The Internet plug-in picked it up automatically on my system. The streaming video from one of my favorite sites had stopped working under WMP 9, but now works perfectly with the Flip4Mac plug-in.

Gosh darn, and I just payed ten smackers for the Flip4Mac Player the other week.

When, when, when will I ever learn?

AHHHH, I just bought this a few months ago.

Well, looks like MS has sorted out WMV for us. Now all they need to do is fix up WMF. ;-) http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?si...id=201&tid=172
