I have quicktime Version 10.4 (894.12)
I often view downloaded videos. Recently some are choppy on playback.
On VLC , KEYFRAME MP2 and other players they playback fine.
I like QT . Is QT not supported or updated anymore?
What could be the issue.
Thank you ,

You must have legacy software still on your computer from way back when. That is not guaranteed to run smoothly under later systems, particularly since your version has to be at least 10 years out of date.I am on Mavericks and have both Quicktime7 and Quicktime Player (X). You should have Quicktime Player X or whatever they call it now.
Your OSX (10.6 it says in your profile) as well as QT version are old, so your computer probably is too. Is it really a Mac Pro, or is it a MacBook Pro? Anyway, modern videos are a much higher resolution than was common back then and your computer may be working at its limits to play them. As for why QT is different I don't know. I am sure there's a technical reason such as which codecs it is using, but if you use an old computer this isn't surprising. It may also depend upon how much RAM you have in your computer. I know with only 4 GB in a 2008 iMac mine has a hard time with 1080p video.
Dear Sir ,
Thank you very much for your help.
Why can I watch the same video clips smoothly using VLC and other players but not quicktime?
I have 16 GB RAM and am using Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.6 (16G1212)

Dear Sir,
My computor is really a mac pro "desktop version".
It works great.
My 2 cents thought is Quicktime Version 10.4 (894.12) needs an update but I do not know how to do that.
Yours sincerely,
Christophe Smith
Yes I have a recent Quicktime Player X (Version 10.4 (894.12) to be precise.
as well as Quicktime Player 7 Pro (Version 7.6.6 (1710) and QuickTime™ Version 7.7.3 (2978.8)
The one I would like to update is my Quicktime Player X version.
