Don,
It may depend on how you saved the movie and in what
format. If it was saved as .mov, then Quick Time
should be working. I usually save my movies as .mpg
files and have had no trouble with QT running them.
Another thing to try if you haven't and especially if
you're dragging and dropping - open QT first. Then
try to open the movie from the QT File menu.
One further idea. Are you using the latest version of
QT? If not, check Apple Support at
www.apple.com/quicktime
And one final one - it's unlikely, but possible, that
your QT application may have been corrupted or the
preferences file damaged. So, downloading and
installing a new QT app might help.
I don't know what version of Mac OS you're using, and
that would make a difference if you're in Classic
rather than in OSX, or vice-versa.
I'm no expert at this, so these are just suggestions
from a long-time, mostly self-taught Mac user.

All:
Was playing with the software before we get some
clear nights (nearly
3 weeks straight of clouds), and saved a movie, only
to have Quicktime
tell me that I need another component to play it and
took me to an
Apple web site with different Codecs on it
(e.g.Divx, Autodesk, etc)?
So, if Quicktime won't play back the .mov, what
will? Is there a
Quicktime setting, or some Codec I need?
Thanks,
Don
