Re: evil Quicktime was:K6/ME66 noise.

This can get OT fairly quickly. I think QuickTime was once such a standard but 
for DV, Adobe and Avid video editing software (at least the Windows versions) 
both read files with the AVI wrapper natively. I think that most audio editors 
use WAV. The great advantage of QuickTime Pro is its price and so is a great 
alternative for students. The problems with the latest version of QT probably 
have more to do with tweaks Apple provided to better mine the lucrative iPod 
download market. Adobe is treating it with suspicion and Avid, for certain 
brand lines, with outright hostility. Problems are likely to be software 
specific. I think if you rely on specific professional software it's always 
best to check how they are affected by ubiquitous add-ins.
