Apple QuickTime DRM Disables Video Editing Apps

[Geoff]

Only appears to affect OS X, so I'm posting this here instead of a more generic forum.

 

According to numerous posts on Apple's discussion forums (several threads of which have been deleted by Apple), as well as a number of popular video editing blogs, Apple's recent QT 7.4 update does more than just enable iTunes video rentals — it also disables Adobe's professional After Effects video editing software. Attempting to render video files after the update results in a DRM permissions error. Unfortunately, it is not possible to roll back to a previous version of QT without doing a full OSX reinstall. Previous QT updates have also been known to have severe issues with pro video editing apps.

 

Take heed, those updating QT on a Mac!

Ha. Don't you just love DRM. And Apple.

Am I the only one that found the Apple stand at Bett "uncomfortable"?

I didn't get time to visit their stand wearing my open-source clothing

 

They're also doing dodgy things with open source projects.
