There is yeah. I'm sure it'll be fine. The trailer looks and sounds great. Just, ya know, used to that Goldsmith atmosphere in Star Trek.

I already have quicktime on my computer, but every time I go to one of these sites, it keeps saying I don't have it. So I d/l the "newest and greatest" edition. And it still doesn't work. So I try again. Same thing. So I give up in disgust and frustration at STILL not being able to watch a trailer I wanted to see.

I fell for it again. I decided to try and update Quicktime just so I could watch this ****ing trailer. Same ****ing thing it always does to me. I go back to the link to watch the trailer and it says I still have to download the latest version of Quicktime - not 30 seconds after I did just that.

Apple and everything it stands for can kiss my hairy white ***!!!!

Ok, finally!! After the third restart of my computer it actually works!! HOLY ****!!

After watching the trailer (finally) even Tina seems interested. And she's about as anti-Star Trek as you can get!!

P.S. I still hate Apple and Quicktime with a vengeance.

Quicktime is part of the Borg takeover plan....

Quicktime works fine for me on my Mac. Must be a Microsoft problem

Apple software is only intended to be run on Apple hardware. They might support other hardware if they absolutely have to, begrudgingly. Whether that's OS X, iTunes, Quicktime, or anything else, it still applies.

I'm primarily mad at Paramount for putting it up in Quicktime format. They may edit their movies on Macs because of their superior video, but the rest of the world runs on Windows. Sorry to say, it's a fact. If it wasn't, Bill wouldn't be as rich as he is. So don't try to get the rest of us to convert to Macs, ok? I'm quite happy with my 3 year old build of WinXP that still runs stable. No, I won't be switching to Vista (crap) any time soon. I keep seeing the troubles Tina and Patrick have with it running identical apps to me. And I run them twice as fast on a processor 1/2 the speed with 1/8th the memory running at 1/4 the speed. Oh, and a HDD that's half the speed. So :P to all those that lurve their Vista. I hate it. I'm the one that has to spend half of my computing time fixing their Vista issues (with the software it came from the factory with!!).

I have iTunes and Quicktime on my works laptop which runs XP and have no problems at all with it

it should all just work Darrin. Try uninstalling it all and re-installing again that might help, I think the quicktime h.264 videos do look amazing though so they should keep releasing them in that format

Mark · 22-11-2008, 14:01

I'll have to concede that last point. The amount of compression you can get away with with the H.264 format and still have a great result is simply stunning. It's about the only way that HD videos can be made downloadable for the masses who don't have all-you-can-eat broadband.
