[MacDV] Re: DVD Studio Pro and QuickTime Pro

No, it's a different number.  And you don't need different QT player 
software.  Both numbers are located on the "Read This Before Installing 
DVD Studio Pro."  You enter the number in the QuickTime control panel 
in the System Preferences.  I think you can also access the 
registration via a menu item in the QuickTime Player application, as 
you mentioned.

A thought occurs to me as I write this.  The DVD Studio Pro 1.5 product 
may have only a QT5 registration number.  That's the way mine came, 
even though QT6 was released long before I bought the product.  I think 
that's wrong of Apple, but it may be an issue of shelf life.  I didn't 
stress about it because Final Cut Pro 4 came with a QT6 registration 
number, so I just used that instead.  This may be the problem you are 
seeing -- trying to register QT6 with a QT5 number.  Depending on when 
you bought DVD Studio Pro 1.5, I bet a call to Apple could get you a 
free registration number for QT6 ...but don't quote me on that.
