If you are using Mac, downgrading quicktime is a little tricky. Not to mention that is hard to do but Mac itself did’t support uninstalling quicktime.

In the previous post I wrote about how to use expired bootcamp for mac. that post is great and cool. Search here for quicktime.

Downgrading quicktime needs a software called Pacifist. Download here. After downloading, check your current configuration. Details here.

Now since you have downgrading your Quicktime, I hope your problem solved. Please comment below to share your experience about quicktime. I will be appreciated to answer it.
