Brief Hands-On Report--QuickTime 7.0.2

Apple released an update to QuickTime to v7.0.2. The update is available from the System Preferences Software update pane or as a standalone download. According to the Read Me file,

QuickTime 7.0.2 delivers numerous important bug fixes and compatibility enhancements. This update is highly recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.

We downloaded and installed QuickTime 7.0.2 on several Power Macs (G5 and G4 Cube), iMac G5s and PowerBook G4s with no problems. We played back several video files, including several HD H.264 movie trailers and encountered no difficulties. Apparently, movie trailers played through the iTunes Music Store no longer provide a full screen option unless one has QuickTime Pro. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
