Important info about quicktime codec

You should upgrade to 7.6 and above because earlier versions and all converters with internal codecs have crushed blacks ,so you will suffer from some dynamic range loss,i dont know how many of you know this but i didnt and ive seen the difference when watching clips in DSLR cause after downloading to PC i had crushed blacks,after update its ok but dont use converters such as avidemux to convert,use the ones which use new version of quicktime codec from your system.

Here is more info about it ,

All canon DSLR's have this "problem" so this might make a difference for you if you have 500d ,7D or 5D II.

I think it could be sticky somewhere ,i had no idea about this.
