Apple See Sense at Last – Free Full-Screen in QuickTime 7.2
Filed Under Computers & Tech on July 13, 2007 at 8:18 pm
There are some things we expect every media player to do out of the box, you know, the basics, actually playing media and that kind of thing. Most people would consider a full-screen mode to be one of these core features that all media players must have. Apple didn’t think so. Past versions of QuickTime made you upgrade to the pro version for $30 if you wanted full-screen playback. Needless to say this annoyed a lot of people. It just looked like greed on Apple’s part and drove people away from Quicktime towards free alternatives like VLC. However, as of QuickTime 7.2 which was released this week you get free full-screen playback. Great to see common-sense finally winning out in the QuickTime division of Apple. THANKYOU!
Greed? on Apple’s part? why, I thought they were in this for philanthropic reasons…
Well, I’m running QTPro as a result of using Final Cut.. this would have been nice several years ago!
