QuickTime 7.6 Is Ready!

You know what I hate about QuickTime? Its lack of support for additional media formats, that's what I really hate about it, especially since I like the way it handles those few formats supported, and I think Apple would do a great job by turning it into a more versatile product. Anyway, I am sure they won't make QuickTime play DivX files anytime soon, as they won't add support for losless formats to the iPods, either. OK, no big deal, let's leave these aside and talk about QuickTime 7.6 now, shall we?

Released less than a day ago, QuickTime 7.6 comes with the following new features and improvements:

Video:
- Improves single-pass H.264 encoding quality
- Increases the playback reliability of Motion JPEG media

Audio:
- Improves AAC encoding fidelity
- Audio tracks from MPEG video files now export consistently

Application Support:
- Improves compatibility with iChat and Photo Booth

Security:

As usual, Apple also claims that this update "increases reliability, improves compatibility and enhances security," and you can easily install it using the Apple Software Update application.
