Try re-installing the Quicktime version that comes with it - it is the 16 
bit version, but will run with the 32 bit version as well.

Have you looked at LINC ? It was produced by the University of Antwerp.  It 
offers 10 video clips on various current events.
I can e-mail you details if you are interested.
