I installed QT3 the week it was released and removed it the week after !
If your using a 68k machine it appeares to be just about useless.  Only a
few of the codecs were available and even the QT musical instrument
sounds, sounded worse than ever.  It would also appear that some
features are only available once the software is registered.  Some folks
are having trouble making the reg work too.   I noticed no improvement
in anything and had much trouble with cinepack movies too.  So I got
hold of the old QT2.5 installer and put it back.

However I believe there would be some improvement for Power Mac
users plus some new compression codecs too.

It does seem a bit annoying to have to register a System Extension
but there you go !
