Old style QT can't work with Perian and Flip4Mac because it's pre OS X.

New style (QT 7) QT uses 'em.

QT X is clearly unfinished and so counts as being in alpha development
if you ask me...

Nor mine.

Just an update - Flip4Mac is working just fine on this Mac Mini
(10.5.8), thanks. Haven't tried the MBP (10.6.2) yet but I would have
to install Q7

I'd hope it's bundled and useable by default- I believe so. And that it
will accept any existing QT Pro code ou might already possess.

QTX is still a bag of beta, not much real use, whereas I read that the
old QT7 works just fine. I don't suppose that QTX works with either
Perian or Flip4Mac; bit of a chocolate fireguard at present.

Certainly works with Flip4Mac. Don't know about Perian. Quite a lot
of movies won't play in it although they play fine in QT7; whether
that's due to not playing with Perian I don't know.

As I understand it (ie, badly) QTX _will_ use Perian (or any other
non-native QTX codec) via a helper process.

Certainly I can play DivX and XviD stuff in QTX just fine.
