Hold off on Upgrading QuickTime to Version 7.5

― Vincent Gable on June 16, 2008

The QuickTime 7.5 update appears to have broken sound in VMWare Fusion, and also in some code I’m working on. I will know more once I have fixed the issue in my own code. But for now, I advise waiting to update QuickTime to version 7.5.

UPDATE 2008-06-19: problems in my code solved. Basically I was specifying a bit-rate for a compressed audio stream, and QuickTime expected it to be 0. Earlier versions of QuickTime didn’t care, but 7.5 was more strict. Also, the VMWare problems have been fixed.

Yesterday at about 8:30 AM CDT, my email account vgable@mail.utexas.edu was deactivated, with no forwarding service provided, cutting me off from an unknown number of contacts. What did I do to deserve this? Well, I graduated, but my alma mater is too cheap to offer forwarding.

The email address I check the most often is:

vincent period gable a-in-a-circle gmail period com

UPDATED 2008-11-13: I also had mail sent to HireVincent.com forwarded to the utexas account; that was taken down too, but I didn’t find out until now.
