Remove the PRO label from QuickTime 7 Player
Well, yes, it would be very nice, but it's just struck me that they may not have the option.
It may be like the situation with iDVD. IIRC, the free version of that is only available with a DVD writer, and can only use that device; if you want to burn to anything else, you have to pay for iDVD. The reason for that is the DVD consortium, which enforces a licence fee for the ability to burn DVDs. That licence fee is included in the cost of a DVD drive, but the only way to make sure it's always been paid is to restrict burning to that drive, and to charge for the unrestricted version. Maybe the same applies to QuickTime? One of the features that's only available in the Pro version is exporting to MP3; isn't a licence fee required for that to the Fraunhofer people?
So, much as we may hate the the upgrade fee, Apple may have no choice. ---

No. QuickTime Pro is just a GUI around the editing and export functions of the Quicktime API, and those functions are available in the default install of QuickTime. If someone wanted to, they could write a clone of QuickTime Pro and give it away for free. |
