QuickTime (32 bit) for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

If Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) is installed by updating a older Mac OS X version, then QuickTime (32 bit) is usually available. The 32 bit versions of nessMediaCenter and nessViewer are based on this.

But if Mac OS X 10.9 is installed by a "clean install", then QuickTime (32 bit) might not be available and must be installed manually. Apple has written a manual for this.

We are working on a 64 bit version of nessMediaCenter and nessViewer since Mac OS X 10.7, which is based on "AV Foundation" instead of QuickTime. But these 64 bit versions are only available on request because we are not satisfied with the scope of features at the moment.

With Mac OS X 10.9 it is possible for the first time to identify incompatible movies and to convert these movies. We added the functionality to edit movies within nessViewer as well.

But we are still working on 2 solutions:
1.) The movie presentation of incompatible movies without conversion.
2.) The presentation of QuickTime VR (panorama) movies.

Mac OS X 10.7 / 10.8: movie editing

After opening a movie with nessViewer using Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, you might recognize two things: the current position and the current selection is not visible at the controller.  Thus it is difficult to edit movies.

The reason are two missing images which Apple "forgot" to add to the QTKit framework. We copied these images from MacOS X 10.6, converted them to PNG and added them to the QTKit framework - afterwards the current position and selection was shown correctly.
But there are still 2 things: 1.) the current selection is difficult to see (low contrast between black and dark gray) and 2.) sometimes the current selection is not set correctly. Calling "Select None" in the edit menu before selecting a part of the movie will fix the second problem.

You can download the images at our download area. After unzipping the file, copy the two images to System -> Library -> Frameworks -> QTKit.framework -> Resources.
