APPLE QUICKTIME VIRUS??
I have recently been having problems exporting QTs from FCP. The QT’s would have error messages. Sometimes my system would shut down when exporting. QTs wont burn to disc. I have done the usual, update QT player, trash prefs, safe boot. No luck. I’ve come to find out A friend of mine is having the same problem.
What is going on? I’ve never seen this before

The first question is – what version of QT are you running?

You and your buddy might have something simply horrible and contagious on your machines. No way for us to know from here but it is isolated to RTSP.
Got this from symantec’s site but it’s mostly boilerplate, there a million such “threats”

How do I get the anti virus download and cure a virus once I have it

You have to buy Norton AntiVirus first, then you run the updater to get all the latest updates.
The only known virus I’ve ever known about, and we actually got infected, was years ago with a Quicktime Virus in OS 9. I want to say that was around 1999 and we received a JAZ drive from a graphic design firm that had the virus on it.
Fortunately it was not malicious and we were able to remove it quickly with Norton.

Thanks for the info
I got a trial version of Mc afee anti virus and started running it around 7AM on my 200GB internal hard drive and its still going at 5PM is that normal?

That doesnt sound normal.
Martin, I think something is wrong with your hardware. You need to get it checked out by a technician.
I doubt its a virus. There are no known viruses on Mac OSX (though there have been some vulnerabilities exposed from time to time).
