Downgrading quicktime...

[www.apple.com]

Okay, I've had enough of capture freezes... i found qt 7.2 should i just delete my quicktime 7.3 and install quicktime 7.2 by deleting package contents? I'm on a G5, leopard, 6.0.2, are there any side effects like codecs that 7.2 doesn't support?

Damned! this is ridiculous! QT 7.2 doesn't run on leopard! Anyone having problems capturing firewire dv on qt 7.3?

Not with the current version of FCP.

Hmm... Anyone running Leopard, QT 7.2 AND final cut 6.0.2? Does it support dvcpro HD 720p50/25? And what are the steps i should take to downgrade the @#$^quicktime?

Leopard has to use QT7.3.

No...I stick with stable systems. There is absolutely no reason to upgrade to Leopard...in fact, there are several reasons NOT to. You are experiencing one of those reasons. Seriously, when you have a good stable system, do not upgrade. If you do...CLONE YOUR SYSTEM DRIVE.

And no, you cannot go back to QT 7.2 just by deleting things. You have to reinstall the OS. Archive and Install is the easiest way.

MacFixit.com recently had a recipe for down-stalling QuickTime without reinstalling the entire OS, sorry I didn't copy it. Seems a lot of bits need to be removed by hand from various system folders.

It begs the question-- there are play-along app formulas for FCP versions. Have the variables been codified in a table in the FAQ or elsewhere? It can drive you crazy putting the right stew together and keeping it-- it's tempting to upgrade stuff.

Okay, so does anyone know how to get rid of QT 7.3? My capture freezes are just a nightmare!

I'm working on an eMac, G4 1ghzPower PC processor, OSX 10.3.9, 512mb Ram, FCP 4.5. Not the most up-to-date, yet it worked great until QT 7.3!!!

TIA.
