Fix QuickTime audio for AVI movies from digital cameras
Trashing the import filter makes sense. I think robg is being overly cautious. The odds of picking up malware by connecting your own camera to your own computer are lower than the odds of winning a 50 million dollar state lottery. Perhaps a technically savvy enemy could 'borrow' your camera without your knowledge and modify it to send malware when you import movies. But, if that's the case, then computer malware woes will be the least of your problems.

I don't think robg is referring to the possibility of getting malware from your camera. The components are likely active for *any* media you may open (it's not likely to exist *solely* to protect the system from camera files), so by deleting the component, you open yourself up to attacks from videos you may encounter on the web, which certainly could be malicious. |
