The playrate property has been working flawlessly for me ever since I 
put it in, so thanks again for this tip.

One thing for anyone who uses this method: apparently starting the 
playback using only the playrate setting does not enable callbacks. In 
order to get callbacks working again, I had to use both start and playrate:

   start player 1
   set the playrate of player 1 to 1

That seems to reliably play the QT movie and also sets up the callbacks.
