I`m sorry the movie I`m exporting is in it`s original form isn`t it and not "stacked and

name!

I tried that and at least for exporting as a movie, it worked fine here when over writing the original. That was a short movie though.

However if you saved it as an .avi and did not change the file extension from .mov, then it will not be playable. Apple doesn't look inside the first few bytes of the file header and assumes that the extension indicates what type of content it is. If it doesn't match what it actually is, then it won't play it.

Also export is strictly an Apple thing - we don't control naming of files or anything else. You get the same behavior with Apple's QuickTime Player app too.

HTH..
