Steven,
That must be Mac-speak about having QuickTime open already

About half the time something that runs on QuickTime will automatically open that application on my Mac, but if I try to view a file and it just stalls or won't execute, I've learned (through the scientific process known to every mechanic -- if you're not sure what's wrong, start by jiggling some of the wires and tapping your wrench on some of the connections) that if I back up and start my QuickTime Player first, then try the download again, it's about a 98% "fix". This is as sophisticated as my computer technician skills get.
I'm on a relatively slow ethernet connection on a hillside in China and, though the video in question took a while to load (perhaps a minute?), when it did run it was full-speed and clear. Who knows what lurks out in cyberspace to gum things up? Maybe gremlins like that one on the airliner's wing in Twilight Zone: The Movie.
