That's a puzzler but it could be the QT is at odds with the preference settings like DV-square, etc, etc.

Also, try using a third party program to export the QT as something else.

I work on the thing every day and it throws me a curve every other day.
Resets its own parameters. Turns things off.

Yeah.. I tried messing with the 'sequence settings'. I tried just about every NTSC option DV, JPEG, Sorenson... whatever. No dice. The thing that burns me about alot of these applications is that they're not intuitive at all. There's always some stupid trick here and there that unless you learned it from a certified instructor or expert from the actual manufacturer, you would never be able to figure it out on your own. I hear you on the 'curves'. I work on Avid alot, and call me crazy, but that thing just does things sometimes that are unexplainable. In alot of cases they happen when your producer or client is in the room. Great way to look like you 'know what you're doing', right? Case in point, not too long ago while I was working; everything going along fine my producer asks me to play a clip of audio and all of the sudden, guess what? NO AUDIO! After a couple of minutes of monkeying around to see what the hell was going on it turns out that the sample rate somehow changed from 44khz to 48khz. Unless I was trapped in a time warp or doing acid, there was no way on this earth that I changed the sample rate myself. So aggravating.

I'll try the third party thing, that may work. Thanks!!!!
