Looking for Classic Mac OS QuickTime 6.0.2 Full Install

Hello:

I would like to finally resolve a problem I've had for several years. When I upgraded to QuickTime 6.0.3 a couple of .avi files which played fine with QuickTime 6.0.2 do not work correctly. About 30 seconds into the clips, the video stops. Audio continues fine. I am also unable to convert the files to another format because of a "compression error." Since I know these files worked when I had QT 6.0.2 I would like to downgrade so I can convert the files.

I've looked for a long time, but have been unable to find the Classic Mac OS QT 6.0.2 Full Install file anywhere. Does someone have this? Of course this would be the one file that I do not have a backup.

TIA!

The name of the Apple downloads file for QT 6.0.2 was probably something very close to this:

QuickTime602_Installer.smi.bin

Have you tried searching among those old legacy file downloads on the Apple downloads? I know they are sometimes hard to find and reasonable searches using the Apple search often gets one no where. You might try googling for the old quicktime and get into the Apple downloads through the "back door" so to speak.

Have tried this-got only one 6.0.2 for PC.QT 6.0.2 is "out" for about three years now-all links to apple broken.
I also looked on OS 9 Install CD(german) there is a QT D 4.1-maybe on a newer is a later version.

I've searched for a long time using Google. About six months ago I found the following site...

http://smokeping.planetmirror.com/pub/apple/QuickTime/

Unfortunately the copy of 6.0.2 they have is corrupt. I guess I'll just have to load version 6.0 and convert the .avi files which don't play right using 6.0.3.

I checked on some of my backup hard drives and found a copy of the QT6.0.2 installer smi. You interested? If so, send me an email and we can arrange it off line. The file is too large to email.
