Thanks Billy. Now understood. Still, crashing browsers should be considered
undesirable behavior. My feature request for a future version of QT Pro
would be that if you edit a hinted movie and try to save it, it offers to
regenerate the hint track rather than quietly saving a movie guaranteed to
crash QT on both Mac and Windows.
In any case, now I know how to avoid the problem for the future.
Best,
Scot
