| QuickTime 10.0 was first demonstrated at WWDC in 2009. The application ships with Mac OS X 10.6 and higher. This version of QuickTime was rewritten from scratch to include support for 64-bit codecs, which in turn does not allow the player to natively play some legacy codecs, such as MIDI, interractive QuickTime movies, and QTVR. QuickTime 7.7 can be installed alongside for legacy codecs playback. |
