Quicktime X Preferences?

Does anyone have any idea where the heck the preferences settings went for Quicktime X?

I used to be able to extract audio or video tracks and adjust all sorts of things with my Quicktime Pro 7.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

I'm trying to find the preferences to enable video clips to automatically play without having to press play (or spacebar) to start every single video that Quicktime X opens... Maybe there is something Apple can do to enable the preferences menu like Quicktime 7 had? At least to give users the basic options they might want/need (like autostart and other basic options present in the General tab of the Quicktime 7 Preferences)....

At least I discovered that I can reinstall Quicktime 7 from the SL DVD's Optional Installs folder. I thought there was a SNAFU after the SL install when I found QT7 in my Utilities folder, and thought "hmm, I don't need this anyway" and trashed it!

Reinstalling from the DVD even found my QT Registration, so I can at least manipulate videos at a rudimentary level.

Based on apples previous form, I'd say that Quicktime X was not finished on time for the release. If you have a look at Quicktime 7, as comes with the Snow Leopard install, it's called an "engineering build" which i take to mean that it is a build that was developed pre-release to test functionality and they have shipped it as a stop-gap until Quicktime X is finished
