CS4 Media Encoder doesn't render Quicktime at all

Question

The CS4 Media Encoder will render H.264 and FLV, but doesn't render any form of Quicktime at all.
The Queue loads the project, pretends to render, but does not show progress frames. Seconds later (way too early!) there is a green checkmark that the render completed successfully. The log file looks successful with essentially the same content as for H.264 and FLV.
For example this log file shows a 1-minute sequence "rendered" in 30 seconds -- normally takes 3 minutes -- and no .mov was created.

>always save the project before you export
Very good advice.
I would also say, save your project after any edit that you feel you can't afford to lose.
