AAPL Stock: 562.29 ( -3.03 )

QuickTime 5.0 Preview 2 privately seeded

updated 09:45 am EST, Fri December 1, 2000


Several readers note that Apple has seeded QuickTime 5 Preview 2 to developers. The software, available to registered developers from the Apple Developer Connection, includes the first Windows preview of QuickTime 5.0. While changes from Preview 1 are not explicit noted, one reader states that the Aqua-look has been removed from the OS 9 version of QuickTime. It's unclear whether Apple will make the new preview available to consumers, although the company has promised that a Windows preview will be ready early next year.

    Getting in...

    Netscape gave me a lot of trouble, but IE seems to have better luck. I haven't tried iCab or Mozilla yet.

    Info on Changes


    The OS 9 Player still uses the same interface, but the Aqua close/minimize/maximize controls are gone. In thier place, FINALLY is the standard OS 9 controls (athough in the brushed metal look) that allow you to windowshade the player. Finally, Apple listens regarding this much requested feature. No word on MPEG 2 support though :-(

    A lot of people obviously don't mind breaking NDAs!

    MPEG2 and RamDoubler

    The documentation lists the new features of QuickTime 5, but it mentions nothing about MPEG 2 support, perhaps it won't make it into the final release..

    The new beta also isn't compatible with RamDoubler, it automatically disables it when booting up.

    NDA?

    its not under nda, its free connect.apple.com

    the only fix i see (other than the aqua buttons) is the installer now works w/o you having to remove previous version

    NDA

    When one joins ADC, one must agree to a Prototype License and Confidentiality Agreement. Specifically, section 4 of this agreement prohibits dissemination of information of pre-release software provided through ADC.

    SoundFonts & DLS support?

    The downloadable sounds feature is advertised as a feature of QT5 on the Apple site, but was, as far as I could tell, missing from Preview release 1. Is it in the new version?
