Subject:Quicktime Save As... problems in SF 5.0 retail

I absolutely love this program and have had no problems
with it whatsoever.

But today, I needed to recompress a video I made for one of
my friends who is a mac user, and I went to use the .mov
file format when I selected save as... When I saved the
movie, I got an error message:

"The plugin to save the requested format failed to
initialize.

You may not have all the components needed installed
properly."

In the "save as" window, I can click 'about' and get all
the information on the plugin. (Version 1.2, build 200).
I re-extracted the .dll file to the correct directory and
even re-installed the program. The problem remains.

Help?

all of the other plugins like .wma, .wmv, .rm, .mp3 work
flawlessly (thank you Sonic Foundry!).

I think there is a bug in the new quicktime 5.0. I know
there are problems with it in Vegas but I'm not sure about
sound forge.

sf?

This message will come up if you don't have the Quicktime
authoring components installed on the system. I would
recommend that you download and (re)install Quicktime from
http://www.quicktime.com . During installation, choose
the "Recommended" install instead of the default "Minimum"
option so that all needed files are copied to your system.

Sound Forge does include a QT plug-in that will interface
with installed QT components from Apple, but the Forge
install doesn't actually include the authoring components
(they need to be installed separately, as above).

Hope this helps.
