First, I would try something other than QTPro to test playback. I  
would recommend something like VLC Media Player (its freeware and  
plays a lot of video QT Player won't). <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Another piece of software that works great is MPEG Streamclip (also  
freeware) and will export to avi. <http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/
