Hi Jason,

Your posting reminded me of a similar problem I described back in July of 2007 on the ImageJ listserver:

https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0707&L=IMAGEJ&D=0&P=45684

You can see in that thread that a few people suggested a few solutions back then, but in the end, the problem seemed to fix itself after updating quicktime (at least on my laptop) almost a year later:

It was one of those mysteries I couldn't quite figure out. Wish I could give you more help than that. Not my field of expertise.
