QT3 controls just about every graphic file type i've asked it to open
also any video format, most importantly AVI from the pc

you can still use movielayer 2.5 with QT3 installed
therefore taking advantage of the new editing features

if you open up an AVI, movieplayer 2.5 will automaticaly convert it into
Quicktime format for playback, then it can be resaved

For something that your not paying for, there is no reason why anyone
should complain about the upgrade message

As i've already pointed out QT3.0 plays alot more than just animated
gifs. And it's only the pro version that cost money and thats another
story.
