Softpedia Editor's Review for QuickTime
|
Apple's QuickTime multimedia authoring/playback software features built-in support for digital video, including the DV camcorder
Written by Elena Opris on November 10th, 2011
Everybody knows what QuickTime is, right? For a long time, this was the only video player that could support only a specific type of format (e.g. 3GP, MOV), and yes, it's one of Apple's ways of tapping into the multimedia world.
Unfortunately, the trial version of QuickTime comes with limited features, so you will only get a glimpse at what it can do.
The interface looks very professional, and it's easy to understand by both beginners and advanced users. You can play in the Preferences menu a little (e.g. change movie size, background color), but there are no extraordinary features.
But QuickTime is linked with many web browsers. You have probably already found some websites by now that required QuickTime to play video. But the idea of using it as your main video player when there are others significantly more powerful than it, may not be a concept that works for all users.
The worst part about it is that if you have QuickTime bundled with iTunes, you must download the entire kit all over again. And the trial version has many ads and ways in which it likes to send you to the Apple website... which can become very annoying for any user.
CPU and memory are fairly used.
So, if you want to always have access to media files than only run on Apple media players, then get QuickTime installed on your computer. Else, look for other alternatives.
