I often use SnapzPro to record media from my Desktop. The resultant file has the suffix ".mov" In the past if I wanted to compress the file I would go to :- File>Share>Mail and then select one of 3 size options. This would proceed and the end result would appear in the body of a new mail message. Since the installation of Snow Leopard, I must first open QT 7 from the Utilities folder and then go to :- File>Open and then seek out the file I wish to act upon. The procedure from hereon is the same as before, however when i try to "Share" the file for compression, the procedure fails at the end of exporting and I get the following message:- "Failed:qtKitErrorCatchAll(-50)". Just after I installed Snow Leopard the procedure worked fine, but of late it fails every time, despite having re-installed QT7 more than once (and from several sources, inc. the installation disc). Any clues please? Ian Tucker
