x264 QuickTime Codec for Mac

The x264 QuickTime Codec provides H.264 support for Quicktime versions 6 and below. If you haven't updated to Quicktime 7, this codec allows you to enjoy the benefits of H.264 quality on your older version. H.264 is becoming a standard for video compression due to its excellent quality in a smaller file size, whether you're watching an HD movie, a 3G playback, or a regular internet stream.

Installing the x264 QuickTime codec is quick and easy, taking only a few seconds. Once installed, the codec automatically activates when you launch Quicktime, allowing you to experience the best image quality and enjoy your movies and videos. However, it's worth noting that updating to Quicktime version 7 is still the recommended option to fully utilize the latest features, including its own H.264 codec.
