Problem with QT 7.0.4. Some Application crashes and this is why ..
Posted: Jan 11, 2006 2:16 PM

... because some applications using QTMovie in threads and somehow Apple has disabled this feature and throw an exception if the application tries to initialize QTMovie in a thread.

----------
An uncaught exception was raised
QTMovie class must be initialized on the main thread.
*** Uncaught exception: <QTMovieInitializedOnWrongThread> QTMovie class must be initialized on the main thread.
----------
This morning a lot of user send me feedback and crashlogs after updating to QuickTime 7.0.4.

i hope that Apple will release a bugfix, so that we ( the developers ) will not have to rewrite our applications. I don't know why Apple has disabled this, i think they have huge problems with the second Core from there new Intel DualCore machines.

-Hi,
Apple pulled their DL of QT v7.0.4 for a short period of time Tues AM 1-10-06, and placed an un-install on their site. Not sure this pertains to your snag, but there is a little more info here: MacFixIt

Revert to 7.03 & all our problems will go away. Let us all postpone the installation of 7.04 until major issues have been resolved.

Earlier this week, I posted a complaint against Quicktime 7.0.4 causing really bad jerkiness in video playback and in Front Row animated menus. I had the Windows Media Plugin "Flip4Mac installed". I just noticed that Flip4Mac has posted a new version of their plugin yesturday to correct incompatibilities with Quicktime 7.0.4. After experiencing instbility with Quicktime 7.0.4, I uninstalled using the Apple uninstaller to revert back to 7.0.1, I then upgraded to 7.0.3 and all my issues were gone. Once I saw that Flip4Mac had posted a new version of it's plugin to correct incompatibilities, I was curious if this plugin was causing my issue so I re-installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and sure enough, my video playback became unstable again. I then went to macupdate.com and downloaded the newly released Flip4mac plugin for Quicktime. Sure enough, video playback was good again. I think the whole cause of the bad video issue after installing Quicktime 7.0.4 was due to the older version of Flip4Mac being installed. Just thought this might help some of you and also the Apple developers.

Make sure to use the Flip4Mac 2.0.1 installer

Since it seems the Microsoft page still has 2.0 on it.
