The QuickTime Streaming Server software is free, but setting up a streaming server requires a machine running Mac OS X Server ($495), and probably an additional Mac to digitize and reflect content to the server hardware. The big news in QuickTime 4.0 is realtime streaming, the long-promised ability to stream movies and audio in real time over the Web. But the QuickTime team has also committed some faux pas that will have you asking just what they were thinking. Version 4.0 looks fresh and has groundbreaking new features, and the standard version is still free (though we recommend getting QuickTime Pro for $29-99).

QuickTime 4.1 is the only version to fully work under the SheepShaver emulator.Īfter one of the longest windups in multimedia history, Apple has finally pitched a new iteration of QuickTime. QuickTime 4 was the last major release to support 68K Macs with version 4.0.3 and was then fully targetting PowerPC Macs only.
