QuickTime 7 Player

On June 6, Apple released a public preview of QuickTime 7 Player and QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows, the industry?s first mainstream H.264 solution for streaming and playback of high-definition (HD) video on the Windows platform.

Ratified as part of the MPEG-4 standard, the H.264 video codec delivers pristine quality video across a broad range of bandwidths, from 3G for mobile devices to iChat AV for video conferencing to HD for broadcast and DVD. Both the DVD Forum and Blu-ray Disc Association have adopted H.264 for the next generation of HD DVDs.

QuickTime 7 also features multi-channel audio support, live resizing for smooth viewing and all-new playback controls, including jog shuffle and variable speed playback.

Check out the QuickTime 7 for Windows Public Preview today.
