Quicktime Pro

Quicktime Pro 7 is here. Can do movie recorder directly inside of the player. Auto detects any firewire camera, simple quick capture. Can it grab stills too? Recognizes any device?

h.264 is a new codec in QT and AC3 audio.

DVD standards still emerging, Blue-ray, HDTV conflict, but Apple supporting both and on both committees.

Showed an example in QT gallery (wildlife gallery) at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/

By Christmas this year will see HDTV DVD players, big move to get everyone to it on set top box. Past standard problem meant losing what you already own before going to new, so we now have backward compatibility in the new HDTV standard.

On the computer means 5 gig on DVD that can burn now, but now will have 15-20 and talk of 100 GB file sizes.
