Unable to export quicktime movie from flipbook. Latest and greatest everything installed as of today. Windows 10 64 bit.

Encoding dialogue just sits there and does nothing after quicktime parameters have been chosen.

**Update - file extension is case sensative. Uppercase MOV required.

Yep, I experience the same thing. Not sure why it is even an option in MPlay? The only thing that works for me is AVI uncompressed.

Behind the scenes, MPlay is just saving out all the frames as a sequence then trying to stitch them together using your systems tools. If you just save it out as a sequence you can open up Quicktime Pro and import that sequence and make a .MOV that way.

I just tried outputting to “buttefly.mov” all lowercase, it worked perfectly on my Windows 7, QuickTime 7 machine. Maybe it's the codec that you're using? I use the H.264 codec in the quick time options dialog that comes up.

Note that outputting to QuickTime requires that you have QuickTime installed on your machine. Furthermore, you *MUST* reboot after installing it or else it still won't work.
