Hi folks,
Just getting around to having a look at the new video feature on realtracks, and trying it out.
When rendering I get the error that Quicktime is not installed, and it fails.
Since quicktime I believe is no longer supported by Apple, is there any other option that I can use?
Thanks for any info on this.

HI Yes I had to download and install Quicktime before the video would render. However you don’t have to use it or even let it associate it self with its audio file types. Or update itself. My guess is that simply installing it adds an encoder to your windows system that BIAB needs to render the audio stream of the video. As although windows these days can play quick time audio they seem well of for decoders these days, but a bit light on encoders. Had no probs with it here but do get it from APPLE as below! https://support.apple.com/kb/DL837?locale=en_GB https://support.apple.com/kb/DL837?locale=en_GBMike

Hmmm, I hope PG has another option rather than asking us to install QuickTime for Windows! Almost two years ago the US Gov and Apple recommended we uninstall it!
"Last week, the Department of Homeland Security recommended Windows users uninstall Quicktime because of potential security holes, and now Apple is echoing that advice. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has confirmed it'll no longer update or support Quicktime 7 for Windows. Apr 19, 2016"

We've introduced Windows methods that don't require QuickTime. So they only use QuickTime if the Windows method fails. The Windows method should never fail on Windows 7 or higher, so we'll check that one out.
Have Fun!

When I first attempted to render a video on Windows 7 64 Ultimate, it required me to install QuickTime. There was a dialog requesting me to do this. It didn't appear to be an option.
Maybe that's changed since the beta?

Rendering videos requires the ability to make .m4a audio files.
The QuickTime library (not the player - you can choose not to install this) is required for encoding .m4a, but only if you have Windows Vista or Windows XP. If you are using Windows 7 or higher and you are asked to install QuickTime, then there could be an error. You can find out what the error is by going to:
Help > Utilities > Display Log Text file of Yellow/Green Messages...
If there was an error converting to .m4a, the error would start with "Media Foundation failed to convert to .m4a". It would be very helpful if you could let us know the error number.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
