The QuickTime preferences pane in Mac OS X 10.4.11
The QuickTime pane of the System Preferences in Mac OS X was developed by Apple to allow users to customize the settings of QuickTime 7.7.3 or earlier on their Mac.
History[]
With the release of Mac OS X, the QuickTime preference pane superseded the QuickTime Settings control panel from classic Mac OS.[1]
Discontinuation[]
With the releases of QuickTime 7.7.x, many of the settings could be managed within QuickTime Player 7.6.x. The QuickTime pane was deprecated and would only appear up to Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard); it was no longer included with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later.[2][3][4] QuickTime 7.7.3 (the final legacy release for Mac OS X) was only 32-bit and was superseded by QuickTime X, which was 64-bit. Support for versions prior to QuickTime X (version 10) was discontinued completely in macOS Catalina (10.15) in 2019.[5][6]
