Really? Where is the preference file setting to change? I looked in the
com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist and couldn't find it...

Even so, there's the annoyance of having to be forced to use MC/Rev 2.7.x in
order to accommodate Apple's decision. I found that not only do you have to
use MC/Rev 2.7.x, but it has to be something that will operate natively in
your environment (i.e. that means either Intel only or Universal Binary for
Intel Macs, and PPC Only or UB for PPC Macs) - so if you try to create a PPC
standalone and try to run it on Intel Macs through Rosetta, it will fail as
well.
