How do I 'buy' Quicktime Pro?
I am new to Mac and trying to set up the new Mac for Video Editing.
I tried buying Quicktime from the Apple site - but it wont accept my Australian phone number, I tried everything but it would not take my money. Finally I called some friends and they said it was because of different pricing arrangements and said I had to load my software from the Australian shop. What the? - so instead of paying $29, I went to the Australian online shop - which charges $49. Ok, I got over that after some ranting.
Then it says when I 'buy' it, it will send me a password to enter into Quicktime 7 Preferences - but First it says I need to download Quicktime 7. So I did that, but it refuses to load this, as the Mac says to me that there is ALREADY Quicktime X loaded on my machine. So I look - and yes I have Quicktime 10.
So if I have ten and I cant get 7, how do I upgrade to Pro?
The entire object is to set up Final Cut Pro - however I need to convert all the other types of movies that FCP cant handle. And I am led to believe Quicktime PRO 7 does that to at least some of the videos I have.
I have heaps I need to use - and they are
.3gp
.avi (which I want to use Quicktime Pro to convert)
.DIF
.flv
.mpg
.mpeg
.m2v
.mp4
.mov
.wmv
But - to start with - how do I get PRO to load?
