Anyone tried downgrading a preloaded Leopard machine to Tiger?

It seemed like the AI codec was not installed, despite using the installer and codec UG installer. Eventually, I had to find the extention buried in 'Libary/quicktime/AppleIntermediateCodec.component' and copy it the the new mac - restarted quicktime and it worked....

I've had this with a lot of machines without quicktime pro installed, copy and pasting codecs of choice seems to work nicely.

its not quicktime pro. Quicktime pro doesnt do anything .
It needs to be installed with iLife08 and ImovieHD.
you need to install it- copying codecs might not install it correcly.

Here is an article on how to re-enable "legacy" codecs when updating to quicktime v7.4

Thanks drew-

this is really really stupid thing for apple to do...

almost everyone uses these so-called 'legacy' codecs.

terrible user interface change- hiding these things away.

Almost noone will spot this-

This isnt all thats broken in QT7.4

QT 7.4 not recommended. ( oh apple stupidly gives and error in iTunes if its not installed... )

The AI codec is not supplied as standard with OSX, you have to have one of the Apple video products installed to use it. Buying iLife08 with iMovieHD is the cheapest option at around £50

Convert files and folders from files HUD.

Oh BTW... This is a real freakin' cool feature!

I'm blown away.

However, do you have any notes on this?

What do you mean ?

Can't be possible that  do not allow downgrading
