Apple Offers iTunes When Quicktime Will Suffice (Unless I Was Wrong, Which I Was, So Please Stop Emailing Me)

So I go to Apple ’s web site to determine the prevue for the new Pixar movie ‘ The Incredibles , ’ and I noticed something interesting . Now or else of ‘ Quicktime Required ’ , they are saying ‘ iTunes 4.5 Required . ’ Sneaky . Quicktime , in case you did n’t love , is the codec library ( and more ) that happens to power iTunes , and is set up everytime you install a new version of iTunes . But you do n’t involve iTunes to play Quicktime movies ( at least , you never did before ) , so it ’s sort of fly-by-night for Apple to imply that its somehow necessary for people to set up their MP3 Media Library program just to observe a trailer .

Update : So I , you know , actually ascertain the trailer , and it open in iTunes . Is iTunes move to be the new Quicktime player now ?

Update : Oh , I get it now . It ’s only the Fullscreen interlingual rendition , which was ( as J. Atwood explained ) previously a Quicktime Pro - only feature film . So you ’re really getting something for liberal ( well , free if you install iTunes ) that you antecedently had to give for . Not so suspect after all .
