According to Trevor DeVore, an Apple engineer he spoke with (or someone
close to Apple) claims that QT playback in anything outside of QT and iTunes
is prohibited, thus will fail in outside of those apps (chalk it up to that
great DRM we all love so much).  Indeed, this has been my experience.  You
may be stuck using the QT player unless someone else has a workaround/hack.
