animations created on mac don't play on mac

Movies created on a Mac won't play with Quicktime with 5.4.1. I haven't checked to see if movies created from other platforms plays with Quicktime or not. The workaround is to use the VLC player, but since my analysts are often creating movies for other people (i.e., management), this must work. My analysts say that 5.3.0 worked correctly.

Marking as a showstopper for 5.5.0.

How to replicate:

  • Mac, local server, 5.4.1.
  • Open can.exo. Apply.
  • File/ Save Animation. Defaults. Save as .avi.
  • Now, try to play this movie. Quicktime will fail. VLC will work.
