Quicktime unexpectedly quits w/ HD movies

Question

Whenever I close a high-def trailer from the Apple site the QuickTime player unexpectedly quits. It also does it when I try to quit the player instead. It does this consistently, every time.
Any ideas?

Whenever I close a high-def trailer from the Apple site the QuickTime player unexpectedly quits. It also does it when I try to quit the player instead.
Have noted this on occasion when I am in too much a hurry and close the file or player while the application is still off taking care of "housekeeping" operations like closing the cache, closing the stream, etc. Luckily, file writing seems to be better protected and generates a modal message or I would be constantly be killing files in the middle of conversion operations. Can't be sure that this is your problem here but would suggest you stop a file before closing the player and/or simply pausing a moment to ensure the application "catches up." At times it seems as if QT is trying to simultaneously process two or more commands and closing the player or application takes place before the other command(s) or action(s) is/are completed, looses its stack return and issues the crash message. (May be a programming bug as simple as not checking for pending operations before closing the player/application.)
