Hi Jesse,

7.1.6 is the only version that is fully supported in the sense that it  
is the only one that still works with multiple graphics cards.

Newer versions work as long as you don't need to use multiple graphics  
cards.  So if you don't need that, you're okay with 7.3.

Ain't it grand?

Several versions of Quicktime have come and gone since this problem  
was first reported (and confirmed by them) in their bug tracking  
system, and they have still failed to fix this (major) bug.   
Considering that they don't also offer a way to downgrade to 7.1.6,  
this puts you and I in an increasingly awkward position.  Here's the  
response they gave to my bug report:

    "31-Aug-2007 03:44 PM Vanaja Pasumarthi:
     This bug has been closed as Duplicate.
     Engineering is aware and tracking this
     issue under Bug ID listed in the above
     bug State (Duplicate/XXXX). You may
     check status of the original bug report
     anytime by updating this bug report.

Unfortunately, my frequent attempts to elicit a response regarding the  
status of this bug have been met with silence, despite what it says  
above.
