QuickTime 5.0.4 info...
Authored by: wtbates on Feb 12, '02 12:33:44AM
First, I tried what Mike said to do and I was able to download the 3rd party add-ons, but my version of Quicktime still says 5.0.2.

Here is some good information on Quicktime 5.0.4:

The version of QuickTime on the Final Cut Pro 3 CD is exactly the same as the public QuickTime 5.0.2 version except that it has two new codecs. The difference between QuickTime 5.0.2 and QuickTime 5.0.4 are two extra codecs. What is very confusing is that after installing, when you look at QuickTime version in the QuickTime Control Panel, it will still report as being QuickTime 5.0.2. But as long as you follow these steps from the QuickTime installer on the Final Cut Pro 3 CD you will have the extensions you need.

* Run the QuickTime installer, select Custom install.
* In the next panel, select all the options, there's a convenient Select All at the top.
* Continue to the rest of the Install.

If you don't do Custom and the Select All, you will get "missing QuickTime Component" and "missing codec" errors. Custom installs more than the Full or Multimedia Authoring options in the first panel. Go figure.

It is almost always okay to go to a newer version of QuickTime as QuickTime retains 100% backward compatibility to version 1. So if a newer update is offered by the QuickTime Control Panel Updater, download it if you want.

This is from a website called 2-pop. If you have not seen it, it is the ultimate reference for Final Cut Pro (as well as other DV & QT related info).

Here is a link to the article that I got this info from:

Enjoy.
