The QuickTime 7.0.2 SDK contains QuickTime headers for use in creating software that employs QuickTime APIs. The SDK also includes examples and documentation that describe the capabilities of the QuickTime APIs, including the new functionality introduced in QuickTime 7.

After installation, you will find the QuickTime headers in the following directory on your system:

Documentation will be installed in the following directory on your system:
/Developer/Documentation/QuickTime

Example code will be installed in the following directory on your system:
/Developer/Examples/QuickTime

QuickTime SDK 7.0.2 appears to be for developers using QuickTime 7.0.2. However, it showed up in the Software Update application on most of our Power Macs (G5 and G4 Cube), Mac mini, iMac G5 and PowerBook G4s whether we had the Developer tools installed or not. All are running Mac OS X 10.4.2 and had iTunes 5.0 and QuickTime 7.0.2 installed. QuickTime SDK 7.0.2 downloaded and installed with no problem. [Update: WARNING!
