QuickTime 7 for Windows Public Preview


Apple Quicktime has released Quicktime 7. Quicktime was always average with the mov files. As of now, the best videos are compressed with Divx or Xvid codecs. But with the release of the new H.264 codec, videos can be higher in quality with reasonable sizes. Of course Quicktime 7 is still a beta for Windows and sucks. I’m bragging about the codec, not the program. So stick with 6.wahtever is out until they release 7 final for Windows.

QuickTime 7 features a state-of-the-art video codec called H.264, which delivers stunning quality at remarkably low data rates. Ratified as part of the MPEG-4 standard (MPEG-4 Part 10), this ultra-efficient technology gives you excellent results across a broad range of bandwidths, from 3G for mobile devices to iChat AV for video conferencing to HD for broadcast and DVD.
