In their recent DoCoMo announcements Apple had promised that this release was going to be able to play and encode 3GPP-compatible MPEG-4 files. However, 3GPP support is nowhere to be found. (3GPP is collection of mobile communications standards, including ones that precisely specify what is and isn’t allowable in 3GPP-compliant MPEG-4 files.)
QuickTime 6.1 provides higher quality (Apple says, jury’s still out) and more accurate bitrate controls when encoding MPEG-4 Video, offers more controls and bitrate options for for encoding AAC audio, improves DV decoding and encoding speed, and features better performance and more keyboard shortcuts when playing full-screen video. | Download QuickTime
