QT 10 & QT 7, huh?

I don’t use QT much and know nearly nothing about it. I just want to click on the app and stuff plays.

But now, after installing SL, I have 2 QuickTimes:
a) QuickTime Player, v10.0 in my Applications Folder and
b) QuickTime Player 7 in my Utilities Folder.

In short, what are their differences and under what conditions would I launch/use each? confused

Check out this MacWorld article which focuses mostly on QuickTime X, but compares it to QT 7 also.

Ira,

Your link told me what I wanted to know (and some I didn't). A very nice reference for the casual QT user.

My many thanks!

Here is a new third-party system preferences pane that provides features otherwise available only by using Terminal:
