Does it still bug you to "go Pro" every time you open the damn thing? That's what made me switch away in the first place. :no:

I just downloaded this and I must saw that it was worth the wait. I watched the trailers in the HD section of quicktime.com and I'm amazed. They look incredible. Usually computer movies look like crap but some of these shots looked better than HD on my TV.

What are the real uses of Quicktime pro for just a normal user. One being getting rid of the stupid screen that appears but what item would want me to pay for it?

I can watch some movie trailers like F4 and Serenity (which seems to have disappeared) in the lowest form. But when I try to watch others in the same setting or higher, the movie seems to skip. I would be fine if my computer could handle only so much, but when this is happening on the same setting as one's that work, I'm just confused. ??? The audio is fine but the video stops anf the starts about 5 seconds later. Why is this only happening in certain videos (like the Space shuttle one and the BBC world thing)? Normal movies (not HD) work fine. Is this just a glitch?

I think I'll wait til the Quicktime Alternative version.

Edit: And it looks like it's already out...heh.
