After Effects users - DON'T install QT 7.4! 

Apple - Support - Discussions - After QT7.4, AE error-you do not have ...

Breaks AE, the DRM prevents you from viewing movies that you made.

Yep, you don't have the right to view a QuickTime you are the author of.

Best DRM of the year.

Most definitely NOT.

UPDATE - one of the commenters said that it is fixed by clicking on Support Legacy Codecs, and there's another thread about Sorenson 3 dissapearing:

Apple - Support - Discussions - Sorenson 3 missing after update ... - again, perhaps it is an update legacy codecs thing? I can't check it myself.

Right from Adobe guy's blog:

Keyframes: Don't update to QuickTime 7.4

Thanks VERY much to all the commenters keeping me up to date on all this...

New OS updates available: iTunes 7.6, QT 7.4, iMovie 7.1.1 

Shortly after the keynote ended, these became available via Software Update if you're running 10.4.11 (haven't tried from 10.5.1 yet, can't check at the moment, middle of massive backup).

iTunes 7.6:

Rent and download your favorite movies with iTunes on your computer or directly to your living room on Apple TV. Enjoy rented movies in sizes up to 720p HD with surround sound on your Apple TV and sizes up to DVD-quality on your computer. Transfer your rented movies from iTunes to your iPod or iPhone and enjoy them on the go.

Also, purchase and download your favorite TV shows, music, and more directly on your Apple TV. Effortlessly transfer purchases made on Apple TV back to your computer with iTunes.


QuickTime 7.4:

QuickTime 7.4 addresses security issues and delivers:
- Numerous bug fixes
- Support for iTunes

This release is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.

For detailed information on the security content of this update, please visit this website: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n61798.


iMovie 7.1.1

This update addresses issues when publishing movies to a .Mac Web Gallery, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of other minor issues.


...and probably will help with AppleTV content viewing for the .Mac stuff.

Installing all of it right now.
