An IAVA put out against QuickTime 7.6.2 recommends upgrading to version
7.6.4. During testing of version 7.6.4, it was discovered that QuickTime
now requires "Apple Application Support" to be installed. In researching
this application, it looks like it supports features in iTunes 9 for iPhone
and iPodTouch devices, but the purpose for its inclusion in QuickTime
doesn't appear to be documented.
There is nothing that we could find identifying that this new functionality
is now a required component of QuickTime, or why it is needed for basic
media playing capability in QuickTime as that is all we are using QuickTime
for. A call to Apple Tech Support ended with a developer for QuickTime
stating the application is required for QuickTime and there is no way to not
have it installed.
I'm looking for information to go back to the Government IA folks with to
justify why this new functionality is required in QuickTime. My other
alternative it to recommend removing QuickTime from my environment and
letting Windows Media Player or another application assume the media playing
capabilities that QuickTime was handling.
