Movies from the MetaFilter bowling meetup last weekend. This one has the infamous fatllama victory dance.
My overdue pix here.

Apple’s QT7 upgrade breaks QT6 Pro. You have to shell out for a new serial number. Sadly, activating the copy of 7 that has auto-updated on your system will not necessarily provide access to the features you need. From Apple’s online fora (quoted, as Apple does not provide permanent online posting of the discussions):
Nick:
Since I’ve installed Quicktime 7 Pro it crashes every time I try to open ‘Show movie properties’. I’ve tried it on a variety of Quicktime movies, old and new. I’ve now repaired permissions and repaired my disk – but to no avail.
russblaise:
This workaround is from “blinkmedia”, it was posted yesterday. And it worked for me.
With QT Player not running:
Open System Prefs > International & change your language setting. Then quit and re-open System Prefs and change your language setting back to what it was/should be. QT Player’s “Movie Properties” should now behave as expected.
I can confirm that this successfully allows access to “Movie Properties.”
