I'm betting it it will hose flip4mac or cause flames to shoot out of Cartmans butt or perhaps belch strange sounds out of 5.1 mixes through Apogee hardware.

Or maybe not.

DOOD!!!

After updating, my MBP is showing random desktop images of Mike Horton in a SWIMSUIT CALENDAR!! MY EYES - IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T STOP IT!!! And there's a devilish voice coming out of my speakers...IT'S FILMAN!!!

I just threw my MBP in the lake.

Other than that, all is well here.

I didn't even install Quicktime 7.6 yet, and my dog bit me, I burned my dinner and my so-called "girlfriend" laughed at my manly business.

I recommend holding off on this particular upgrade.

Gosh if it only fixed core audio

Where are you seeing this?

A POSITIVE outcome from updating to 7.6 mid-project:

I was using After Effects CS4 / Keylight on some Tiger Woods green screen footage and was getting intermittent saturation flashes in RAM Preview (and ONLY in RAM Preview...isn't in the original file). Crazy-annoying. I tried everything. Then I ran the 7.6 Updater from Software Update...issue gone.

Quicktime 7.6 -- it regrows hair - instant weight loss - look 20 years young. Can Apple do anything wrong?

Colin over at the "Discreet Cosine" blog claims that "Quicktime 7.6 adds support for demuxing MPEG-1 files. IE, you can open a .mpg file and export it to an H.264 file. For the first time in the history of quicktime, the resulting file will have both audio and video."

This correct?

Oh, never mind. Just re-read the support doc. Well, thats cool.

Way to go Mike...build us up then tear us down

Well if I read this correct "Audio tracks from MPEG video files now export consistently" then that means 7.6 is demuxing MPEG-1 files. Or not.

Try it.

Just tried it - works a treat.

I haven't read anything too appalling about QT 7.6, so I'm going to take the great leap into the unknown.

But before I do so, will anyone hold my hand?

I'm a little suspicious that the release coincides with a new Presidency, but don't fully understand why this unsettles me.
