QuickTime 6.1 Extras for Mac OS

Indeo Video 4 & 5
and QuickTime Components
BeHere iVideo, iPix, Microcosm, On2, Pulse 3D, Streambox, Zoomify, and Zygo.

Quicktime 6.1 was released for OS X in October 2002, and for Windows in March 2003. In April OS X got Quicktime 6.2 and Apple finally dumped 6.0.3 on Mac OS users. Whether it was deliberately held back from release to encourage uptake of OS X, or whether Mac OS development had slowed to a crawl because it was “zombieware”, the third-party developers outperformed Apple, since their optional QuickTime Components are time-stamped October 2002. Mac users with QuickTime 6.0.x could download the 6.1 extras by checking “Update and install additional QuickTime software” in the Quicktime Settings panel.

Until a couple of years ago. Now you get a
“Information received...is invalid. Please try again later”
message.
And Apple has blanked the QuickTime Components page on its website.
(Of course if you try and download these files for OS X you get a happier result )

So here are all the components that used to be downloaded through the QuickTime Updater.* I’ve also included the Indeo Video extension, for convenience, though depending on previous install choices you may already have this file.

Files (General extensions)

Indeo Video [v. 3.22.24.09]
Indeo Video 4 [v. 4.4.0]
Indeo Video 5 [v. 5.0]

Files (Quicktime Component extensions)

BeHere iVideo [v. 2.0]
iPix Support [v. 1.1.1]
Microcosm Decode [v. 1.0.1]
On2-VP3 [v. 3.2.2.0.]
QTPulse [v.5.0.2.4504]
Streambox ACTL Component [v. 2.5A.003]
Zoomify Media Handler [v.3.0.3]
Zygo Video Basic [2.0]

While the QuickTime Components are optional extras, the three Indeo Video extensions are more in the important-though-not-essential category.

Indeo Video extensions go in the Extensions folder (just drop them on closed System Folder icon); however all the rest go in the QuickTime Extensions subfolder in the Extensions folder. You’ll have to drop them in there manually.

* Other QuickTime Component Extensions were available from various 3rd party vendors.
