QuickTime 7 makes the future of video crystal clear with new features including user-friendly controls and pristine H.264 video. Upgrade to QuickTime 7 Pro and capture your own movies, then share them with friends and family via email or .Mac.

Believe Your Eyes

QuickTime 7 features an ultra-efficient new video codec called H.264. H.264 delivers stunning video quality at remarkably low data rates, so you see crisp, clear video in much smaller files. Chosen as the industry-standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), MPEG-4 HD-DVD and Blu-ray, H.264 represents the next generation of video for everything from mobile multimedia to high-definition playback. Numerous broadcast, cable and video conferencing groups consider H.264 the video codec of choice for their deployments. To learn more about H.264, visit the H.264 technology page or consult the H.264 FAQ.

Single-click video capture lets you create your own video postcards using an iSight or other FireWire camera and QuickTime 7 Pro. Or use QuickTime 7 Pro and your built-in or USB microphone to record audio only for quick and easy slideshow or video narration.
