Since the news broke of this Quicktime issue earlier this week I've been asked My thoughts many times now by colleagues, customers, other Pro Tools Bloggers, Pro Audio Forums, Websites and Facebook groups so here's my take on the situation as an Audio Professional, Pro Tools Specialist for the Windows Operating System and Big Cheese of The Pro Tools PC and how to deal with it (in my own humble opinion). If you are a QuickTime 6 Pro user, see this article: before proceeding with this installation.So Whats The Big Deal About Apple Quicktime And This Viral Story About It's Security Flaws On Windows? Installing QuickTime 7 or later will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 6. If installed on other versions of Windows, it may not offer full functionality. QuickTime 7 is for use with Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you still need this legacy plug-in, you can add it back using the custom setup option in the installer. The QuickTime web browser plug-in is no longer installed by default and is removed if you have a previous version of QuickTime on your PC. For information on the security content of this update, please visit this website.
QuickTime 7.7.9 contains security updates and is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users on Windows.
If you no longer need QuickTime 7 on your PC, follow the instructions for uninstalling QuickTime 7 for Windows. All current Windows web browsers support video without the need for browser plug-ins.
New versions of Windows since 2009 have included support for the key media formats, such as H.264 and AAC, that QuickTime 7 enabled. Important: QuickTime 7 for Windows is no longer supported by Apple.
