I'm afraid you cannot do much about this! :-/

Problem 1: There is no 64bit Quicktime for Windows!
Problem 2: The days of Quicktime for Windows are definitively counted***, 
so I doubt there will ever be a 64bit version!

...
Ouch!

So it is more than time for RunRev to find/develop/implement another multimedia 
playback engine for crossplatform compatibility in the near future!
