Wolf359 (hangs head), that was a dark day for The Federation huh? To answer your question I hadn't tried any other apps to see, but I may try some of them now that you mention it. I just installed the B5.1 patch and got the same message when selecting a folder to save the .mov file. It basically says "QuickTime is missing some elements that make it unable to complete this function. Checking the QuickTime Server to see if they are available.". This message came up ONCE, the first time I tried to render animation and it came up ONCE after the update. Unfortunately I was not online when it "searched the Quicktime server" so it said it was unavailable. When I did go online and tried again NOTHING HAPPENED and the dialog never reappears to search the QuickTime server for the missing elements. I'm about ready to do a complete reinstall and update rather than pay Corel (which I own stock in) for one stupid tech support question.
