Studio Moral of the Day: Say no to Quicktime
Just a quick reminder for today’s Studio Moral of the Day: Only you can prevent forest fires.
I mean, actually, that only you can say no to Quicktime. Updates that is. I should have listened to my own advice.
The other day I was having troubles on my PC with the transport stopping as soon as I press play. It’d backqueue a few milliseconds, and then stall out. After a few attempts, it’d let you play. Further exploration revealed that I was in AIFF as opposed to WAV. (More on why I prefer BWAV over AIFF in a later SMotD.)
I presume that the side grade to a non-standard QT release is what did me. Transcoding for a music video is what got me, I think.
