QuickTime
is an extensible proprietary multimedia framework developed by Apple
Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture,
sound, panoramic images, and interactivity. The classic version of
QuickTime is available for Windows
XP and later, as well as Mac OS X Leopard and later operating systems. A
more recent version, QuickTime X, is currently available on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion.
QuickTime is integrated with Mac OS X, but was once an optional component during installation for earlier versions of Mac OS. QuickTime for Microsoft Windows is downloadable, either as a standalone installation or bundled with iTunes or optionally with Safari.
Software development kits (SDKs) for QuickTime are available to the public with an Apple Developer Connection (ADC) subscription.
It is available free of charge for both Mac OS X and Windows
operating systems. There are some other free player applications that rely on the QuickTime framework, providing features not available in the basic QuickTime Player. For example, iTunes can export audio in WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, and Apple Lossless. In addition, Mac OS X has a simple AppleScript which can be used to play a movie in full-screen mode., but since version 7.2 full-screen viewing is now supported in the non-pro version.
QuickTime Player 7 is limited to only basic playback operations unless a QuickTime Pro license key is purchased from Apple. Apple's professional applications (e.g. Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio) include a QuickTime Pro license. Pro keys are specific to the major version of QuickTime for which they are purchased and unlock additional features of the QuickTime Player application on Mac OS X or Windows. Also, the Pro key does not entail any additional downloads.
Features enabled by the Pro license include, but are not limited to:

Features enabled by the Pro license include, but are not limited to:
- Editing clips through the cut, copy and paste functions, merging separate audio and video tracks, and freely placing the video tracks on a virtual canvas with the options of cropping and rotation.
- Saving and exporting (encoding) to any of the codecs supported by QuickTime. QuickTime 7 includes presets for exporting video to a video-capable iPod, Apple TV, and the iPhone.
- Saving existing QuickTime movies from the web directly to a hard
disk drive. This is often, but not always, either hidden or
intentionally blocked in the standard mode. It should be noted that two
options exist for saving movies from a web browser:
- Save as source – This option will save the embedded video in its original format. (i.e., not limited to *.mov files.)
- Save as QuickTime movie – This option will save the embedded video in a *.mov file format no matter what the original container is/was.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Cheers!
