yo i have a problem with quicktime player that maybe someone will be able to help me figure out a solution?

when I double-click a movie (m4v, mov, avi etc) encoded with h.264 by iMovie, quicktime player opens but not the movie. in order to open the movie, i have to double click the file twice more.

the movie will open through quicktime player though (file, open)..

the problem occurs only my user account, i tried creating another user account and it opens normally.

i have tried deleting the quicktime player preferences file to no avail, even removing the library preferences folder did not help this issue.

any ideas? except a clean reinstall, i'm saving that joyous occasion as a last resort. also, is it possible to restore system settings to an earlier point or factory settings without affecting data?

cheers, much appreciated!!
