Late Wednesday, Apple released the latest version of QuickTime, its multimedia support system for Mac OS X and Windows. The new version, known as QuickTime 7.7, is available as a variably-sized download (depending on version chosen through the download page), and improves security and is recommended for all Mac OS X 10.5.x (“Leopard”) users.

The update requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later to install and run and can be located and snagged via Mac OS X’s built-in Software Update feature.

If you’ve tried the update and have any feedback to offer, let us know in the comments.
