Mac Forum / General / Hardware / May 2006QuickTime suddenly not working with apple.com
When I load the main page, I get a broken QT graphic where the main content usually is, and none of the movie trailers work anymore. What have they changed? Running 10.2.8, QT 6.5.2 Pro, 500mhz processor, 512mb ram. That should play h.264 right? Please don't tell me they have dumped support for anything less than QT 7, because my machine won't do 10.3.9. Thanks for any info! Forgot to mention I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.3. > When I load the main page, I get a broken QT graphic where the main > content usually is, and none of the movie trailers work anymore. > > What have they changed?

And you'd need a faster machine to actually do the decoding in watchable time. > Please don't tell me they have dumped support for anything less than QT > 7, because my machine won't do 10.3.9. You'll have to choose lower quality movies to watch. But what 500MHz machine do you have that can't cope with 10.3?  Signature"Congurutulation!!!" - The subject line on some spam I received recently. I have no idea what it means, but it's such a cool "word" (by which I mean pronouncable sequence of letters) regardless. Actually, a 7300 with a sonnet 500mhz G3 upgrade processor (and a 16mb ATI Rage 128) that's running 10.2.8 by using XpostFacto 4. 10.2 will install and operate no problem and quite smoothly, but I haven't had any luck getting Panther to install at all. Thanks for the information, at least, now I know that I need a newer machine to do h.264. I must have been thinking h.263. I guess what seemed odd is that things which worked before stopped working. Apple must have moved their site over in a big way to the new codec, I guess? > Actually, a 7300 with a sonnet 500mhz G3 upgrade processor (and a 16mb > ATI Rage 128) that's running 10.2.8 by using XpostFacto 4. 10.2 will [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > working.

They're certainly pushing it, for their own benefit as well as the improved experience for users with newer machines, but most if not all of the content (new included) is still being made available in lower quality modes.

Apparrently, not even with Panther 10.3.9, but, if you want to view h.264 easily, just view in Real Player...yes! that is right, the clunky (compared to QT in the past) Real Player. I just watched all the new Mac TV Commercials and some movie trailers which, I cannot view via even with QT 7.0.4! Cali |
