[MacDV] QT Pro (New Key for 7)

[Alex]

No need to snap guys...
The Yes had a question mark after it for a reason. It was a question
Of course video programs on the mac use the underlying structure of 
Quicktime, not the Quicktime player
I was pointing out that full screen playback in the player is possible 
without going pro, and showing how to do it!
Not berating or placating anyone!!!!!

The underlying structure of Quicktime is not wholly linked into whether 
you go pro or not
in the knowledgebase artice at: 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24374
Apple states

If a third-party application program uses QuickTime, its functionality 
is not necessarily limited to that of basic QuickTime.

I have never been able to gat a straight answer from Apple as to how 
deep into the architecture of quicktime the pro activation goes
I have FCP running fine on 10.4 with Quicktime 7 Standard and on 10.3 
with Quicktime Pro
Both systems have the same import / export codec's and without QTP 
FCP's abilities do not appear to be lessened

Certainly the Quicktime player is vastly enhanced by going pro, this is 
not the case with FCP though
Does anyone on the list know if the pro activation is necessary for 
other apps as well?
And does it actually open up features in anything but the Quicktime 
player?
