Quicktime only works with 32bit, so wouldn't work with 64bit software.

There are MOV to AVI convertors around,

Well, as I recall quicktime was a required install for Vegas to work, or did it change?

From Vegas guru John Rofrano on another Vegas forum:
The vulnerabilities were found in the Windows QuickTime Player. You could always delete or rename the player executable and not have to worry. I don't think many Vegas Pro users actually use the player. They just need to codecs to process QuickTime MOV files. All you need to do is stop using the QuickTime Player which you probably don't use anyway. No need to panic.

I've just fired up my old Vegas Pro 9, having uninstalled Quicktime yesterday.

QucikTime is not required by Sony Vegas Pro 13
 

I also dumped Quicktime yesterday, and today loaded up and used VP 13 in a complex edit with no problems.

Re: Is it true that Vegas is DEAD?
 

I really hope they don't change it. I love the Vegas UI, find it clean and simple and intuitive to use.

All these modern "slick, professional" interfaces all seem to have non-Windows standard formats and adopt font sizes of, oh, about 4 point which my tired old eyes just can't read. And icons that are about 5x5 pixels so I can't see what they are either. Usually in dark grey on black!

It's needed to edit video that uses Quicktime. My camera has the ability to record in quicktime. This article has a screen cap halfway down the listing it as a requirement

As I said above in the post from John Rofrano, delete or rename the player executable. The codecs still remain and can be used with no problems. Use a free app like VLC to play your MOV files.

Sorry I missed your post. That's a better approach. If I was going to remove anything it would be the quicktime web browser plugin. Where else are you going to get a virus but from a malicious web site with embedded quicktime movie. That being said sounds like risk is over blown there's probably better way to deploy a virus and most movies use Flash for internet streaming.

Re: Is it true that Vegas is DEAD?
 

I'm pretty sure VP isn't dead. VP14 marketing and pricing info was released to dealers who were then asked to hold off due to a delay in the release schedule. Exactly what this means I cannot guess at this point in time other than to say fingers crossed it shouldn't be too far away... hopefully :))

Re: QuickTime is not required by Sony Vegas Pro 13
 

Obviously it is a "requirement" if you are shooting and producing Quicktime files. It is not required for anything else. Quicktime would be required for any editor if you are editing Quicktime files - this is not special to Vegas.

And, according to Adobe, the executable decoding Quicktime video files contains the vulnerability. So all Quicktime program files have to go.

Re: Is it true that Vegas is DEAD?
 

Couldn't agree more. Vegas is an intuitive, powerful, pro editor. Works for me!

I'm leery of removing things I don't think I need. I've found later down the road when you least expect it a client sends you something and then you spend all this time trouble shooting why it's not working. Software often doesn't tell you the why.

Re: Is it true that Vegas is DEAD?
 

You obviously have not used Sony Vegas Pro with a 4K monitor. And this for an editor that has prided itself as designed for 4K. It does not scale properly, and so you get exactly what you hate in other interfaces - tiny icons and more importantly, tiny clip thumbnails. I don't want a cosmetic change in UI either, just update it so it scales correctly.

Importing AVI into FCP can be a bit of a performance... It's Just Chinatown... Sorry Apple
