Quicktime for 64 bit windows 10

Apple Software support staff

In regard to my original question regarding Quicktime for Windows 10, here is

the background.

1. I have a rather extensive collection of DVD's of TV shows and movies.

I routinely watch these items some of which are 10, 20, 50 years old or more,

for example The complete Lone Ranger series(Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels).

Another example would be the complete Mike Hammer series starring Darren McGavin.

2. For whatever reason, some recent tv shows have seasons that never make it

to DVD or Blue-Ray. Most of these shows are available on systems like Netflix,

Hulu, and ITunes. However these systems do not keep these items available

for many years. I will not purchase any item whose existence is not under

my control. This is like buying a car and then after some time the car builder

stops you from driving it. In addition, I do not like having to use the internet

in order to watch something ( I do not mind using it to download something,

if internet is down cannot view). Itunes, however allows you to download these

items and view them without regard to the internet and save them for viewing

whenever you desire even if it is no longer available online.

3. The only problem with Itunes downloaded items, is that these items may only

be viewed using Itunes itself or until recently Quicktime. The disadvantage of

using Itunes to view a m4V file is you have to import it into Itunes and then

watch it or watch it from the location of all your purchases. When watching

using Itunes on Windows 10 you are unable to modify the video settings while

watching. You can do this with Quicktime.

The above scenarios are some of the reasons that people still want to use Quicktime.

I am aware that there are tools available to convert m4v files to other

formats that are viewable by other players , for example VLC. I think

that such conversions are somewhat unfair to Itunes, so I do not use them.

A couple of alternatives would be to have the conversion be a part of Itunes

or have the features of Quicktime viewing be included in Itunes.

I realize that all of the above situations are probably not of importance to

the majority of individuals. I do not believe that I am the only individual

that feel this way.

My workaround is to download items from ITunes on Windows 10 machine, copy

them to a USB drive, copy the USB drive items to an external hard drive on

another PC(Not hooked up to the internet), and view them using an old

version of Quicktime

My idea would be that if I knew the answers to my questions, maybe I could create a

mechanism to get that information. While it may not help the Quicktime

communnity, it might help elsewhere(Serendipty).
