My boyfriend recently upgraded to QuickTime 7.5 on his G5 running Tiger 10.4.11. Now old Quicktime videos play back extremely choppy as if they're playing at the incorrect frame rate. What should he do??

In Windows Vista, is there a combination of software and settings that will let my Dad play all the media files he wants without further difficulty? I want to set up my Dad's new computer, which runs Vista Home Premium, so that it runs media embedded in web pages, runs standalone files too, and doesn't break Vista's Aero interface. He's not a computer expert, so I want media of all common types to Just WorkTM. [more inside]

I'm using Avid Xpress Pro HD 5.2. I have found that it won't import .mov files unless the latest version of quicktime is installed on the computer. However, it won't export unless I install a much older version of quicktime (6.1) (Otherwise I get error message "export format may require audio or video tracks.") [more inside]

I have been trying to use the application Photo To Movie to make a slideshow. I used it a couple of years ago (yes, paid for the license) and never had any problems.
However, now, whenever I export a file (to make the slideshow a movie), the resulting movie has a yellowish tint to it upon playback in Quicktime or any other video application. This occurs with a wide variety of export options (compression levels, no compression, ratio, etc.)

I'm having some Quicktime issues, so I tried to uninstall Quicktime to reinstall it from scratch (or perhaps install QTAlternative). However, I can't uninstall Quicktime at all, and, to add insult to injury, I can't even run Quicktime from the start menu - it hangs for a second, then nothing happens. [more inside]

Whenever I watch .mov files now (like these: 1, 2, 3), I get small, vertical colored bars that randomly pop into the video, then fade after a few seconds. I also get this on old .mov files on my computer that didn't have it before I installed the newest version of quicktime. What's up with that?
