[Question] iTunes 6

Does anyone know how to replace the QuickTime logos in iTunes 6? When I'm looking at my videos, in some of the ones I've added, it just show the QuickTime logo as the preview image, and I'd like to replace it with a shot from the movie.

I'm guessing the QT logo comes up because iTunes is having issues decoding the video to grab the first frame.

Im not sure you can change the preview image, as there's no standard way to store the data.

The only reason iTunes can do music artwork is because the ID3v2 standard supports it.

There's another big question that bothers me now. Why 6? I discovered the sixth version just a few minutes ago. It was 5 about 3 weeks ago, I remember. What the hell happened to change the major version number so soon?

Yeah i'm wondering too! But i think it's because iTunes can Play now videos....

No, I think it's because of QuickTime 7 in distributive package

QT's been bundled with the iTunes install since 4.9-ish

Anyone know how to get just QT? Really DO not want to install the new iTunes, but I need the H.264 codec.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm afraid Apple tried to sneak a version of iTunes in there anyway, but I'll give it a try .

Thanks Larsen!

you can always try "quick time alternative", provided you're on windows.

google.

Nah, I've had problems with that in the past. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well.. I tried the newest QuickTime Alternative and it's good enough. I know previous versions were bit problamatic but this new one worked just cool.

So whats the reason then?

EDIT: I had 4.9. There was not the QT7

#323855

There is no reason.

There must be. They are devs!

Purely to co-incide with the iPod video release.

Maybe iPod video support is considered to be a major feature...

...maybe the new version number is a product of the Apple hype-machine.

#323915

lol - "they are devs"

I agree with #1 and #3 answers from gtn. The new iPod may be a major feature, but iTunes support for videos is definitely not as big as podcasting, and podcasting came along with 4.9. Wow - that seems like so long ago. lol
