Be aware that 7.1.3 also cripples all movies that use Flash media.
The user has to manually check mark a Flash preference in the QT
preferences Panel before QT will even allow Flash tracks to be played.
This has caused many developers a lot of grief and is resulting in a
real black eye for people / business choosing to use Quicktime for
interactive content.

There were several recently discovered vulnerabilities in apple
quicktime software. A lot of people have apple quicktime installed.
Many machines come preloaded with quicktime. Also if you use
itunes (or
have an iPod) you most likely have quicktime installed. All
someone has
to do to compromise your machine with quicktime installed is to put
up a
webpage with an embedded specially crafted quicktime movie. This
would
require no intervention from you other then going to a website.
